Jan Winhall Serge Prengel Jeffrey Morrison Annette Dubreuil
What exactly is the Felt Sense, and how does it relate to Polyvagal theory? Therapists are hearing a lot about the Felt Sense these days. We invite you to come and learn more about it from some of our seasoned Focusing Oriented Therapists—Jan Winhall, Leslie Ellis, Serge Prengel and Jeffrey Morrison— who learned about it directly from the creator of the term Felt sense, Eugene Gendlin.

Together we will explore the embodied nature of felt sensing, how and why to bring it into your therapy with trauma and addicted clients. And we will show you the connections with polyvagal theory as we discuss The Felt Sense Polyvagal Model. Focusing Trainer Annette Dubreuil will outline the Focusing Steps, and the power of Focusing Partnerships as a way to enhance co-regulation for your

Amona & Uta Buechler Oster Retreat 2022
Zu diesem Retreat laden wir dich ein, wenn du nach sanften, aber tiefgreifend transformierenden Wegen suchst, in dir selbst anzukommen… wenn du dich danach sehnst, entspannter und lebendiger im gegenwärtigen Moment zu leben…
wenn du neugierig darauf bist, dich dem Abenteuer des Nichtwissens zu öffnen und dein Vertrauen ins Leben zu vertiefen.

This 8 week course will provide an interactive and experiential opportunity to explore our own relationship to grief- going at our own pace and only where our beautiful, tough, tender, strong and broken hearts are wanting to go, including a full turning away if that is what the felt sense wants. We will use tools that allow the felt sense to express itself through writing, movement and making marks on the page along with more standard Focusing practices to allow for a richer and more nuanced exploration than words alone will allow. Care will be taken in each session to create a safe container so that we can relax and be together in whatever ways feel just right at the time.

This is part of an ongoing group, that you can join any time, and just do separate workshops for a month or continue with the group. You can also choose to come to separate ones. (I suggest you do the 4 sessions, to have the complete process, but each one will also be a process in itself).
These next Thursdays in April we'll be sharing this topic: Overcoming limitations and finding our potential and creativity.
There will be different topics each month.
It is an invitation to meet, to pause, to listen to ourselves, to find that "more" to our feelings and emotions, to give space, acceptance and friendliness to whatever comes,  to find that inner connection, and grow in love and compassion towards ourselves, others and our environment...To find and

Eugene Gendlin’s PHILOSOPHY OF THE IMPLICIT FOR THERAPISTS
with LYNN PRESTON
A study group exploring how Focusing and relational perspectives can deepen and empower therapeutic relationships.
We have been exploring the philosophical doorways into how Gendlin’s new world of process thinking transforms the work of psychotherapy. In this module, we will use TAE (Thinking At the Edge) practices to become more at home in making the theory of Focusing-Oriented Therapy a base from which to think creatively about our participation in therapeutic relationships. Felt sense thinking enables us to gain confidence in the dance of thinking “for ourselves” but not “by ourselves.”

Focusing Highlights Mary Jennings
What if you were to find some simple doorways into what Gendlin calls the ‘implicit intricacy’… the ‘more’… so that you could say more of what you mean with greater clarity and creativity?

Gendlin developed ‘certain genuine steps’– in Focusing and in Thinking at the Edge (TAE) – and from these steps emerge simple practices you can use in your everyday life.

The approach here is to take some of the practices Gendlin developed for more formal practices such as theory or concept development and use them for specific interests. When you make these practices your own, they can support you in many ways.

In this webinar, we will do exercises together, and we will also dip into some pieces from writers, poets & artists to see how they work with the

Setting boundaries is complex and likely to bring up a lot of mixed feelings! In this free mini-course, we'll address three specific issues that can come up with boundaries, including:

- Learning how to tell if your needs are getting pushed aside (which often happens when you say yes but mean no)

- Discovering what a healthy boundary looks like and how simple they can be (something you probably didn’t learn growing up)

- Understanding what you’re saying yes to when you say no (and why this tip helps you communicate better with the people in your life)

- Plus, we'll talk about what might be going on inside when someone says no to you.

No matter how challenging healthy boundaries might feel today…

Esta es una invitación a encontrarnos, a hacer una pausa, a explorar eso "más" que nuestros sentimientos y emociones, a dar espacio, aceptación y escucha amigable a lo que sea que aparezca, a encontrar esa conexión interior, a crecer en amor y compasión hacia nosotros mismos, hacia otros y hacia nuestro ambiente... ir más allá de los pensamientos , sentimientos y emociones conocidas, los mandatos, creencias y condicionamientos...para poder contactarnos con lo más real y auténtico en nosotros y comenzar a dar nuevos pasos de cambio, contactarnos con todo nuestro potencial y creatividad y llevar nuestra vida adelante.
