An 8 session experiential exploration of the territory of “NO” from the inside out. We’ll use multiple experiential activities to discover and listen to our inner “no” from varied vantage points. We'll listen to our responses to images and to publicly available audio and video recordings of individuals, interactions and environments in order to see in an un-pressured way, how our own felt sense responds to different experiences.
Although it is not a class in boundaries, by learning to connect more deeply with our inner compass, and learning to listen to our response to circumstances, people and environments, over time we will naturally be better able to hear our own “no” and choose when and how to express it.
PART 2 is about deepening into the Focusing and Listening process by looking more at the role of the Companion. A companion to ourselves as well as others. I introduce neuroscience here. We develop further our personal concept of creating an inner space that welcomes it all and adapting that space as we follow our process. Requires some previous partnership experience.
- Feel stuck in a difficult life situation?
- Suffer, but can't connect to the aching place inside?
- Or feel your life could be richer in ways you can't yet quite articulate?
And do you want to find your own way forward, one that feels good and that comes from you? Inner Relationship Focusing teaches us how to attend to our inner experience in ways that feel deeply satisfying and brings change.

Nie ma drogi do pokoju.To pokój jest drogą. - Mahatma Gandhi
Focusing jest taką pokojową drogą … praktyką sztuki zatrzymywania się, pauzą, zwalnianiem w całym momentum zabiegania i wymagań dnia … nieustannym powracaniem do odczuwania siebie … i to pomaga nam uczyć się wracać do obecności, otwartości … odnawiać z ufnością świadomość, że dookoła nas …i wewnątrz nas ... w skupieniu, w tym specjalnym czasie, który na to przeznaczamy …jesteśmy bliżej pokoju. Pokoju ze sobą samą, samym i pokoju ze światem…i tyle możemy zrobić … tylko … albo aż …
In TAE, you come back to the felt sense again and again. Settling into this liminal space, you become aware of its complexity and relevance to all aspects of your life. You experience what Gendlin meant when he wrote "the body implies its right next step". (Three Assertions about the Body, 1993)

Social Oriented Focusing (SOF) invites us into an embodied practice to untie the KNOTS and NOTS that interfere with relating to others, enabling us to overcome blocks, fears, and automatic behaviors. Imagine being fully present in the here-and-now in a Focusing way, enjoying interpersonal moments with the freedom to be yourself, instead of repeating stressful patterns of separation.
In SOF Course Level 1, we will set out on an SOF journey of discovery from separation to connection. In a safe group setting, we will explore the steps from feeling alone to feeling together, while being our authentic selves.
SOF expands our Focusing awareness allowing us to meet
In this four part beginner Focusing course for advanced listeners (people with previous experience listening to themselves or others), we delve into each of the 6 steps, with each class including a teaching of one or two steps.
