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.
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

Focusing Journal is a gentle, creative process of exploration of your inner experience on the page – bypassing the analytical mind and traveling to the surface - as colors, words, shapes, or movement. Flexible visual templates serve as supportive prompts or anchors for your process to emerge with new meanings and possibilities.
These sessions invites alignment with the fall season - the qualities of letting go, unburdening, as well as tending to the inner light. There will be ample space for solo work, reflection, sharing resonance, and enriching our experience.

Central European Time = GMT+1 (Budapest)
In the November session of the Fókusz Klub, we’ll be focusing on changes—those happening within us and around us. How do we experience them? How do they affect us? How do we allow them into our lives? We’ll explore these questions over two 1.5-hour sessions, in our usual way: through movement, play, and focusing processes. Come and experience it for yourself!

The course is an opportunity to spend time with your wanting or project to integrate Focusing into your life—whether personally or professionally—in both an embodied and more than logical way. Like being in contact with a yet undiscovered treasure box. With FOCUSING, a practice laid out by philosopher and psychotherapist Eugene T. Gendlin, you will get in touch with your Felt Sense and be able to develop surprisingly fresh understandings that make a difference, especially in how you are with your special project or issue. By adding certain moves of THINKING AT THE EDGE (TAE), another practice Gendlin created, with Mary Hendricks and Kye Nelson, we will show you how you can speak more and more precisely from your Felt Sense. In doing so, you will discover important details by redefining

In this time of social conflict and identity politics, it is increasingly likely that the therapeutic relationship is impacted by global and polarizing events. How does the current zeitgeist of social polarization show up in our therapy rooms? What do we do when it does, and what do we need in order to be congruent within ourselves and for our clients? We hope this Roundtable will provide a welcome and safe space to share our experiences, thoughts and feelings about these challenging issues.

As a way to offer care to our body and psyche in this time, this 1- hour 15 minute class will begin with a few moments of quiet and centering, pre-sensing a state of Wise Self. Bringing alignment to the body, we will move through a series of postures for stretching and strengthening. Yoga lets us massage stiff places, make more space in our spine and joints, and bring flexibility to our attitudes. We will draw inspiration from nature and from being together.
