As these uncertain times continue to challenge us in unprecedented ways, our need for connection and emotional support is greater than ever.
This is a 30-minute free webinar (with Ann Weiser Cornell) with warm, positive tips for emotional self-care no matter what you're going through. Each month is different as Ann responds to the present moment and whatever the group is bringing.
Our hope is that you’ll leave the webinar with a greater sense of resilience and some relief from the stressful feelings you might be having. And that you’ll know you are not alone.

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?
