Smartview Conversations is a monthly online gathering to explore application of our Focusing skills to daily life and interactions. Our skill emphasis for 2024 is the Power of AND, how we hold our own space in relationship to others and how we hold space within us for both our right and left hemisphere's perspectives.
For December, Katarina will continue our body awareness exploration of the left and right sides of our body using Feldenkrais exercises. This is another opportunity to understand how we are wired.
These webinars are FREE to attend. Both experienced Focusers and people new to Focusing are welcome.
We meet on Tuesdays, twice in the same day for different time zones. The times are 11:30am - 12:30pm ET New York time and 7:30 -

This group is open to anyone who has trained as a Focusing professional; certification under any coordinator. This is a great place to support the personal Focusing practice of Focusing professionals. It's also a unique place for folks to Focus about their work with clients or students and their work projects in general. There's no requirement to Focus about those, but it's an option. There's no teaching done here as all are trained, the main thing is having a place to land to do paired Focusing partnership. Breakout rooms are arranged for each pair. Private to Focusing Professionals - both Certified Focusing Professionals (FOT, Trainers, and Professionals) and trainees are welcome, with independent spaces available. This is a drop-in group, no commitment required. Free

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 in these challenging times. 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.

This class invites participants to explore the resourcing possibilities of five movements encountered in everyday living -- push, withdraw, reach, offer, and receive. Beginning with an upright spine and supple stance at the center, we will familiarize ourselves with these five movements to develop a sense of possibility and flow. We will then work with a situation in a Focusing way: Exploring body position as an indicator of our state, ask our body what it needs to complete the action, and invite a posture or movement as a response-- e.g. to be still and observe, prepare for a request, retreat, etc. We will slow down and allow time for fully unfolding transitions between postures and movement.

En este taller monográfico exploraremos una aplicación del mapa del ciclo de la experiencia gestáltico a la experiencia del enfoque corporal. Veremos las maneras en que solemos interrumpir el ciclo de la experiencia según la perspectiva gestáltica y formas experienciales de indagar en estos mecanismos de defensa. Y claves que nos ayuden a abrirnos al flujo de nuestra experiencia.
