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?

Una propuesta vivencial donde el Focusing se convierte en la brújula para explorar la rueda zodiacal como un mapa energético y simbólico encarnado en la experiencia humana. A lo largo del año, exploramos cada fase del ciclo —desde el nacimiento hasta la disolución— escuchando y acompañando lo que emerge en el cuerpo. No se trata de aprender astrología, sino de habitar sus arquetipos como movimientos vivos que ya existen dentro de nosotros desde hace siglos, reconociendo cómo cada vuelta de la Tierra alrededor del Sol refleja estos procesos cósmicos en los movimientos orgánicos internos de nacimiento, maduración, muerte y renovación.
En este cafecito me gustaría compartir cómo las diferentes formaciones realizadas a lo largo de mi desarrollo profesional me han aportado un enfoque holístico de la persona y de cómo el Focusing potencia el tratamiento de fisioterapia, sobretodo en el tratamiento de personas con dolores crónicos, como es el caso de las personas diagnosticadas con fibromialgia.

You are embarking on a forever journey of being your own best friend and a healing Presence to the world. Utilizing Inner Relationship Focusing and Relational Neuroscience, we are encouraged to practice both in partnerships and with brief pauses during the day. The fundamentals we explore here are great to return to anytime you are ready to go deeper.
For coaches, bodyworkers, therapists, teachers and anyone interested in improving their inner and outer relational skills. This class can be your first step toward professional certification by completing Parts 1-4, then entering the ongoing Learning Community for Mastery in Guiding Change.

Next session April 7, 2026 - Reading will start in Chapter 9 IF YOU CAN'T MAKE ANYTHING SHIFT, at the paragraph heading When The Handle Fits But Then You Are Stuck
Topic: Beginners-Intermediate, Intermediate/Advanced, Free, Ongoing, Other, The Focusing Institute (TIFI) Events
In this presentation, Hideo will select some key terms such as “metaphor,” “reversal,” “crossing,” and “retroactive time” from Gendlin's writings represented by Experiencing and the Creation of Meaning, Thinking Beyond Patterns, and A Process Model, and explain the prior research by related thinkers and philosophers on these terms.
This presentation is intended especially for anyone who has tried reading the three writings above by Gendlin but found them challenging.

We begin with learning the basic steps of Focusing so you can practice with a partner and bring Focusing into your healing practice. Understanding and working with a felt sense (how the body holds living experience about a situation) is the key to moving beyond the typical dead ends of talk therapy. Like mindfulness, Focusing helps us step back and observe our experience and then takes us further into Relational Presence with inner parts and with one another.
Would you like to learn how to Focus with another person while exploring the Enneagram?
This course integrates Focusing with the Enneagram. It's for anyone who has an understanding of their Enneagram type and would like to explore their patterns in Focusing partnerships. Focusing can help us compassionately explore our Enneagram patterns and who we are beyond them. When we attend to our inner experience in a Focusing way, we make space for new life-enhancing steps to emerge.

This Highlight invites participants to explore the dynamics of excellence through carefully selected, playful exercises. These are inspired by Experiential-Concept-Coaching (ECC), rooted in the work of Eugene Gendlin and based on Focusing and Thinking-at the-Edge (TAE).
All are welcome to attend. Some familiarity with Focusing will be helpful.
