Dana and Baruch in person!
2 Day residential retreat in beautiful southeast Michigan, USA. The purpose of the workshop is to explore, through direct experience, the process of moving through different states of consciousness until reaching a unique state called "prayer consciousness." In this state, a shift occurs in the perception of life, giving rise to new steps into reality.

This Highlight explores what a Focusing-Oriented Coaching approach can look like. Many coaches have trained in Focusing but often struggle with therapeutic language and examples that don’t fully align with a coaching framework. By bridging this gap, the program offers a path for coaches to integrate Focusing into their practice in a way that honors both its depth and the distinct nature of coaching. 

All are welcome to attend and participate, with or without prior knowledge of Gendlin’s Philosophy. No affiliation with Education or learning is needed.

At some time or another, all of us have been in conflict with someone that we love or that is significant in our lives. Perhaps it was a parent, a child, a partner, a friend, a colleague…whoever it was, something happened, something got in the way of the relationship.

In Social Oriented Focusing ׂׂ(SOFׁ) there is an understanding that the relationship is more important than the conflict, and from this perspective, we can use SOF tools to stop our automatic patterns of reacting and actually manage the conflict.

Das Modul ECC2 der Weiterbildung Erlebensbezogenes-Concept-Coaching vermittelt, wie Sie Suchprozesse nach Stimmigkeit unterstützen, ohne eine Lösung anzubieten. Mit Hilfe eigener Fallbeispielen reflektieren Sie, wie durch Focusing und Thinking at the Edge (TAE), eine kongruente Begleitung möglich wird. 
Die Veranstaltung findet online und vom 4.-6. August 2025 im Humboldthaus statt.

The historical role of our great spiritual traditions, whether theistic or non-theistic, has been to challenge authority, question prevailing opinions, pursue truth, advocate for the voiceless, forgive the unforgiven, and persuade through love rather than force. We invite you to a retreat on radical love. Radical not as a mere synonym but as an antonym to the extremisms polarizing contemporary societies. Radical as in returning to our roots (radix) and sources, seeking a love that is able to to create space for and prioritize the well-being of the other, and offer a path to personal healing and liberation. The type of love that the Buddha and Mahaprajapati, Mary and Jesus, Socrates and Hypatia, and Esther and Jeremiah pursued unwaveringly.

The retreat will be hosted by the Institut Vajra Yogini, a Buddhist center located in a 19th century chateau in the French country-side near Toulouse.

Biospiritual Emergent Expression (BEE*) provides a fresh portal into the Felt Sense through pre-verbal Emergent Expression, allowing the Focuser to interact with the felt sense in an organic and spontaneous way without the need for words. Within BEE, Focusers also learn how to incorporate ”Affection Qualities”, the voice of caring-loving presence, as they come into relationship with their voice and its Emergent Expressions.

In this introductory somatic experience, participants will discover a unique Emergent Expression and companioning Affection Qualities that can augment their current Focusing practice.
