Focusing Highlights is a series of interactive, online pay-what-you-can classes.
Peter will be sharing his inspirations and learnings about how can we give space to the grief our body inevitably feels in the collective situation we are currently in, and how Focusing can help us navigate the essential but scary inner landscapes. There will be guided exercises and time for questions. All are welcome.
This free online conversation is Part of the Focusing Roundtable series for TIFI members who work or worked in teaching or research roles at the college or university level. Class size is limited. This second meeting of Focusing professionals in academia is offered in collaboration with the Gendlin Center for Research in Experiential Philosophy and Psychology.
Cuando tomo conciencia de quién soy puedo impulsar una relación positiva conmigo.
Desde mi sensación sentida en el cuerpo me conecto con un conocimiento más profundo y, mi amor propio, que solo puede provenir del amor hacia mi propia vida, mi existencia.
When I become aware of who I am I can foster a positive relationship with me.
From my felt sense in the body I connect with a deeper knowledge and, my own love, which can only come from the love of my own life, my existence.
We are pleased to announce we will offer one more Introduction to Focusing weekend before our next 2-year Certification Course begins January 25th, 2020 in London.
The course will be held at The Ecology Centre, North London. For Information, please see www.londonfocusing.com or more details below.
Esta formação será um momento para você cuidar de si e aprender a cuidar do outro através do desenvolvimento de uma escuta diferenciada e inovadora.
Focalização é um recurso terapêutico desenvolvido por Eugene Gendlin que descobriu que o que tornava a psicoterapia bem ou malsucedida estava diretamente relacionado ao fato dos pacientes se concentrarem “intuitivamente” em suas experiências corporais. A focalização é um método de escuta dessas experiências.
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.
Experience a series of playful and profound Focusing processes for encountering the most unlovable parts of yourself… and embracing them. Not only that but also embracing the part of you that doesn’t love them! The result: at least a taste of the freedom and ease that are possible for you as you transform painful inner states into something more life-affirming.
This free online conversation is Part of the Focusing Roundtable series especially for TIFI members in Australia and New Zealand. In this Roundtable, As Down Under Focusers, we are often separated by vast distances from each other, as well as from the rest of the world. This platform of virtual Roundtables provided by TIFI can help us to connect, build community, and draw on the deep pool of experience and knowledge we have.
Indigenous peoples of both Australia and New Zealand share an ancient tradition of deep listening. In that spirit, we offer the first Roundtables conversation. Deep listening is also vital to Focusing.
The TIFI Membership Committee is pleased to offer this series of Focusing Roundtables designed especially for members of the Institute.

Focusing Highlights is a series of interactive, online pay-what-you-can classes.
Kjell will teach us about how the endeavor of acquiring a foreign language differs from the task of learning the rules of a language. This class is designed to also enrich your dialogue with yourself, and there will be time for questions and discussion.
Learn how to listen to your inner wisdom through creating a positive inner relationship with yourself. Develop the knowledge and skills to begin to practise Focusing alone, and to begin to listen to an other, so you can Focus with a companion. By the end of Level 1, you will have a basic understanding of the Focusing process.
An online, interactive 4-session course facilitated by Rob Parker. This is a unique opportunity for participants to get an overview of the philosophy behind Focusing, its relevance for personal growth and for the social problems of our time, with one of Gendlin's closest colleagues.
This free online conversation is Part of the Focusing Roundtable series for TIFI members. In this Roundtable, we will explore how we, as Focusers, might provide support to refugees, as well as the potential that a Focusing oriented approach might provide. There are many possibilities for supporting refugees, both informally and formally. Informal approaches might include welcoming refuges and helping them to integrate into local communities by being present, listening, and providing practical support. More formal possibilities might include offering Focusing-oriented programs that enable people to find greater resilience or inner strength. We also will explore how Focusing might provide self-care to ourselves as we support people who have experienced often severe difficulties or trauma.
The process of Thinking at the Edge gives your ideas and projects the time and space they need to grow. You will learn how sense into your own lived experience, bringing life to your ideas in a way that can’t be reached by intellect alone. As a result, your project will become imbued with heart-felt breadth, depth, and commitment.
An online, interactive workshop facilitated by Celia Dawson. In a small group setting, participants will learn about the stages of trauma, and experience self-care practices and how to use them with clients.
This course covers the basics of working with dreams, including how to recall and record dreams, current dream science relevant to dreamwork, and live dreamwork demonstrations to ground these ideas in practice. It is designed for clinicians, but open to anyone who wants to work more confidently with dreams. In addition to 7 self-paced talks (voice-over powerpoint) that you can watch as often as you like, there will be a combination of demos and live sessions, recorded so you can listen later if needed.
In this online-class we are going to think in an experiential / "Thinking at the Edge-way" about how Focusing can be applied to Coaching.
The class includes an introduction to TAE-steps 1-5 .
You are going to explore your personal felt meaning of "Focusing-oriented Coaching", the challenges and paradoxes of it and the richness of finding new ways of "Focusing in Coaching."
This free online conversation is Part of the Focusing Roundtable series for TIFI members. It is the second offering of the same program which was offered in July 2019. New registrants only please. Class size is limited. In this Roundtable we invite you to explore with us what happens when Focusing crosses Coaching and how this crossing might more effectively promote individual or group transformation. This Roundtable will provide the space to dig deep into our curiosity about Focusing and Coaching and sense what might come next.
Continuing from a Level 1 or entry Focusing class, we explore further what it is like to create space within yourself that invites neural integration and lasting change. I teach primarily Inner Relationship Focusing with neuroscience and embodiment additions.
