1.5-hour informal meeting to introduce my 20-week Nervous System Reset Online Course
After accidents, certain neurological illnesses, or emotionally challenging incidences, the autonomic nervous system can get stuck in repetitive patterns, overreacting to specific cues. This challenges our health, well-being, sense of safety and connection, and our creative potential. We can gradually...

In treating trauma and addiction, specialists are realizing the importance of helping their clients connect with embodied wisdom. Many trainings emphasize the importance of this connection, but they don’t provide specifics on instructing clients to lean into their bodies. This is the most in-depth education of FSPM. Each student is matched with a Focusing partner to embark on their somatic journey and receives unique access to Jan through personalized feedback.
Through this course, students will engage in their own felt sense experiencing, and learn how to share that experience and process with their clients. This training can be taken as a standalone or as the first of 3 steps needed to become a Certified FSPM Facilitator through the International Focusing Institute and

This series encourages us to live Gendlin's concept of "crossing" in a supportive community setting. This community is for those who often find themselves in situations of facilitating change for others, individuals and groups. It’s a great option for those who are looking for a community-based path toward certification, for those who do not need certification, and for those already certified.
This Learning Community is a 10-month program, meeting twenty times every other week for 1.5 hours. This course/community is a lovely, supportive space to continue learning with other advanced Focusers or to pursue certification at your own pace as a Focusing Facilitator or Trainer with TIFI.
Meets every other Thursday, 7:00 - 8:30 pm ET, New York time

Celebrating life beyond egotism is addressing 'psycholgical materialism' as well as ‘spiritual bypassing’. A 'process-oriented spirituality’ will deal ongoing with the challenges on the personal journey in private and professional life. Gene Gendlin described the ‘murky edge’ as the crucial point in moving towards the yet unknown in myself, that is ongoing accessible in the present moment. Life can therefore viewed as a continuity in change, while the personality and behaviour patterns looking forward to establishing security and reliable circumstances. The workshop offer opportunities to address the questions and challenges related to the second half of life in a fresh way.

People meet in a group, then split up into Focusing Partnerships, and finish by coming back to the group. It is an open group where participants do not need to commit to joining every time. This is a wonderful opportunity to have Focusing Partnerships with different people, while still having the familiarity of a somewhat steady group.

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 others while remaining intimate with ourselves and our present moment experience, facilitating
