Sandy Jahmi Burg 2024 Smartview Conversations
Smartview Conversations is a monthly online gathering to explore the application of our Focusing skills to daily life and interactions. Our skill emphasis for 2025 is being our own Self-Mentor. We will explore and build the resourcing qualities life is asking of us now.
We will model how to create a safe, playful environment that facilitates neural plasticity. These webinars are FREE to attend. Both experienced Focusers and people new to Focusing are welcome. These webinars emphasize Gendlin's action step; how is it we bring Focusing concepts into our daily living.
We meet on the 4th Tuesday, twice in the same day for different time zones. The times are 11:30am - 12:30pm ET New York time and 7:30 - 8:30pm ET New York time.

Facilitator Addie Van Der Kooy
At the heart of Whole Body Focusing (WBF) there is a dance of two, seemingly opposing, inner movements - the Embrace and the Stepping Back. In the Embrace you unconditionally accept your inner experience and in the Stepping Back you make room for an embodied sense of “Me” (Self in Presence), separate from your inner experience. The balance between these two movements is a fluid dance which creates a space inside your whole body in which Focusing can occur naturally.

This experiential webinar will give you an in-depth guidance in the practice of Unconditional Acceptance and in various ways of Stepping Back into the aliveness and vastness of “You” – described by Gendlin as the “different self that can be discovered …under all the packages each of us carries”.

Laura Storey The Internatinoal Focusing Institute event
Gendlin valued Clearing a Space very highly. How about you? Is Clearing a Space (CAS) a standard part of your own Focusing practice, or your teaching of Focusing? Or have you replaced it with something else – maybe an attunement? Join us to share what place CAS has in your Focusing practice – is it essential, optional, irrelevant or something else?

Two approaches to working with Focusing and Sandtray will be presented, and participants will engage in an experiential process that will deepen the understanding of how valuable marrying these two approaches can be. 

Some experience with Focusing will be helpful. No experience in Sandtray is necessary. This class is intended for therapists though all are welcome to attend.

Ann Weiser Cornell
Want to watch as Ann Weiser Cornell guides someone through their very first Focusing session?

Focusing can be puzzling to talk about. It can be hard to learn from a book or a video. But when someone is actually taken through the process, you get it! Be present to observe as Ann guides three first-time Focusers (one each week) - and then comment afterward. The guest Focusers are volunteers who understand that their session will be witnessed by a safe and respectful group of people.

Haik Petrossian Beyond Thinking and Feeling
The workshop in Yerevan is adressing 'Psycholgical Materialism' as well as ‘Spiritual Bypassing’ and 'Process-oriented Spirituality' as an option to deal with the challenges of developing as a person in private and professional life. Often the personality and egotism are ruling processes in spiritual groups of the various traditions.

Gene Gendlin emphasised the crucial point in moving towards the unknown in myself. The Murky Edge as a technical term is that point of reference. After Gene Gendlin’s work was discovered by the Buddhist community in North America, spiritual bypassing came again into the picture. Generally spoken we are at the same time trapped by the pull of the past and the expectations of the future related to our associated

¿Te gustaría ayudar a tus clientes a conectarse más profundamente con sus emociones?

Al aprender la habilidad de Focusing, no solo podrás acompañar a tus clientes con mayor empatía, compasión y presencia, sino que también podrás enseñarles a escuchar su mundo interior desde el cuerpo, con esa misma actitud amable y abierta.

Evelyn will lead the group through the entire text of Gendlin's article "Thinking Beyond Patterns: Body, Language, and Situations". The course is divided into two parts, each with 10 two-hour sessions. This registration page is for Part 1.

Reading during the sessions will be slow, with about 15-25 minutes of pure reading time per session. This allows enough time for reflections, exercises, and questions.

Open to all. Focusing experience is recommended but not required. Knowledge of philosophy is not needed.
