Introduction to Felt Sensing (Focusing)

This is the first course out of the 5 that together leads to the Certificate of Felt Sensing and With Sensing (Focusing and Listening). (You can sign up for only this ocurse, to get a taster, and decide afterwards if you want to do the rest).

In this first course you will get to know this wonderful process that gives you access to what you know, your inner voice, and to more compassion and self-compassion, openness and spaciousness, in encountering your own and others' inner world.

You will also get your first, initial experience of having a Sensing Partnership (Focusing Partnership): The supportive experience of having a listener who is non-intrusive, and who doesn't give advice or opinions, as well as the challenging, but liberating experience of offering listening in this way.

The goal of this course is to start getting to know this process and its underlying theories and concepts, like Felt Sense, trying out Sensing Partnership, and experiencing this particular, welcoming and warmly curious way of listening to yourself and others.

• Getting to know the Felt Sensing process
