Smartview Conversations is a monthly online gathering to explore the application of our Focusing skills to daily life and interactions. Utilizing exercises from the Facilitator Guide for Smartview Stories, 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.

This Focusing group is an opportunity to meet for six weeks to be with the various crises of the world. These might be of the realm of the polycrisis (ecological, political, technological) or the underlying metacrisis (foundational conditions). One of the causes of these crises is the view that humans are separate to nature, that “it” is simply an external resource, rather than that we all belong to the web of life, that includes humans, and that this web is interconnected. We will use Focusing to be with all of that.

This eight-week course creates a container to unpack a big issue in your life. Using Focusing, you’ll shift a bad habit or addiction that keeps you away from something you long to be or do. And in so doing, tell your untold story.
Process skipping is doing something to keep us from feeling something. The term process skipping has been taken up by the Focusing community to label what we do when we don’t welcome something with Focusing. For example, the BioSpiritual Focusing teachings of Fathers Peter Campbell and Ed McMahon.
Next Groups:
-Tuesdays, July 28-September 29, 2026, 7-9 pm Eastern // Wednesdays, July 29-September 30, 9-11 am AEST. This group will be led by Coordinator Annette Dubreuil and PUPA Trainer Marg Peck

Where do words come from? And movements?
What do the words do to the movement? and the other way around?
What in me and in my life wants to move and how, in which form, what is the performativity of it?
Exploring the dwelling on the edge of awareness, the edge of what is already known and not yet known.
We will: practice daydreaming , practice movement while speaking the moment, Integrate Focusing, felt sensing, Authentic Movement, writing and diverse physical and performative
practices in which the relationship between the 'I' and the environment finds new ways of interaction.

Pacific Time
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.
