Focusing para el Despertar Espiritual
El Focusing y la espiritualidad se unen como un camino de interioridad que utiliza la sabiduría corporal para profundizar en la experiencia personal y la conexión con lo transpersonal.

La espiritualidad implica un sentimiento (felt sense) que aporta nuevos significados sobre lo trascendente y el sentido de la vida. La experiencia espiritual conduce a un proceso de crecimiento que lleva a la persona en una dirección de mayor alcance.

El Focusing puede ayudar a crecer en aspectos religiosos y espirituales, profundizar y generar nuevas conexiones vitales con la espiritualidad. Las personas aprenden a través de Focusing a examinar sensaciones corporales concretas, fundamentales para el descubrimiento y el crecimiento espiritual.

What do you do when someone in your family or community is in emotional pain? What can help?

Do you work in community and help others in the middle of their trauma?
Are you a care-giver or ‘helper’?
Do you want a way to help others and not have to constantly block the pain that comes from seeing others in distress?

Ann Weiser Cornell
Is it hard to put your own needs first sometimes? Healthy Boundaries helps you come home to yourself by showing you how to say no without guilt, ask for what you truly need, and stop over-explaining or second-guessing. You’ll build self-trust, feel more confident in your choices, and create more honest, easeful relationships—without sacrificing your compassion or care for others.

Embodiment Workshop
Gendlin's Focusing and Process Model form the philosophical foundation of this two-day experiential workshop, with the body's felt sense running as an orientation throughout — and Gendlin's steps taught explicitly in a dedicated Sunday morning session.
Participants explore somatic inquiry, resonant reflection, presence as an embodied coaching meta-competency, and the enactivist frameworks that ground Gendlin's insights in contemporary embodiment science. The workshop is designed for coaches, therapists, facilitators, and somatic practitioners working with whole-person change.
Facilitated by Rod Francis and Sherry Trebes (InterActualizer Emergent Coach Training).

La narrativa condicionada del entorno social atemorizó a los padres y después, ellos, trasladaron sus miedos a sus hij@s. Así durante generaciones y generaciones por milenios. Cuando acompañamos esas voces asustadas, descubrimos la fuente de la auténtica seguridad y experimentamos la restauración de la verdadera confianza. Nos damos a luz a nosotr@s mism@s. Nos auto maternamos y auto paternamos.

Creating Space for Lasting Change Sandy Jahmi Burg, 2024
PART 2 is about deepening into the Focusing and Listening process by looking more at the role of how we companion ourselves as well as others. We develop further our personal concept of creating an inner space that welcomes it all and adapting that space as we follow our process. I introduce relational neuroscience here.

Experience in a beginner partnership course is required. Discount for partnership courses or experience beyond that. A great place for advanced Focusers to return to.

in einem Schloss zwischen Elsass und Burgund, nahe Langres in Frankreich.

Dieser Workshop lädt dich ein, dich in Beziehung zu erleben – mit deinem Körper und deiner Mitwelt. In der Begegnung mit Menschen, Tieren und Natur werden persönliche Bedürfnisse sowie zwischenmenschliche Dynamiken sichtbar.

Focusing und personzentrierte Aufstellungen ergänzen sich organisch. Focusing öffnet einen Raum für innere Ausrichtung und Resonanz, während Aufstellungen Einfühlungsvermögen vertiefen und neue Handlungsmöglichkeiten eröffnen. In der Präsenz von Pferden, Bäumen und dem Fluss werden Verbindungen und Perspektiven lebendig.

This workshop invites you to experience yourself in relationship — with your body and the world around you. Encounters with other people, animals, and nature reveal personal needs and interpersonal dynamics.

Focusing and person-centered constellations complement each other. Focusing offers a space for inner resonance and embodied direction and constellations deepen your capacity for embodied empathy and open new possibilities for action. In the presence of horses, trees, and the river, deeper connections and perspectives come alive

Un participante comienza presentando un tema clave que desea abordar en la reunión, y el proceso de Focusing se desarrolla invitando a los demás participantes a "representar" aspectos de su proceso interno. La imagen visual resultante facilita enormemente la desidentificación, permitiendo un mayor desarrollo de la Presencia y posibilitando relación con cada aspecto. Al ofrecer conexión, estos aspectos pueden transformarse y un proceso estancado comienza a avanzar. Resulta sorprendente y enriquecedor cuando, además, los aspectos aportan nueva información desde su propias experiencias y sensaciones sentidas. El proceso concluye brindando claridad, confianza y calma a todos los participantes, quienes se encuentran en armonía y resonancia. Los demás participantes continuarán en un

Art Club is a space where we go inward to express outward – through drawing, movement, writing, painting, or whatever feels right for you in the moment. Each session involves slowing down and noticing what you have inside that’s worth exploring. It’s a time dedicated for self reflection and self care. Come prepared to pause, listen, and allow your inner wisdom to unfold.
