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...

Wil je graag die mogelijkheid om met mildheid aanwezig te zijn bij wat je ervaart, verder ontwikkelen?
Wil je graag dat het Focusing vlotter gaat en het nog meer je eigen weg ondersteunt?
In de Focusingtraining niveau 2 ga je verdiepen en verder ontwikkelen wat je leerde in niveau 1. Je groeit in je mogelijkheden om niet-oordelend aanwezig te zijn bij het focusingproces van jezelf en van anderen, zowel in focusingsessies als in de drukte van alledag. Je leert nog meer te vertrouwen op het proces en hoe je dit verder kan ondersteunen door jouw luisterende aanwezigheid. Omdat je Focusing leert door het te doen is het een ervaringsgerichte training waarin we veel samen oefenen. Omdat Focusing beoefenen noodzakelijk is om de effecten ervan op je leven te ervaren,

Mediante presentaciones, debates y ejercicios experienciales, este curso explorará la forma en que Gendlin entiende la sensación sentida y, al mismo tiempo, su forma de entender la conciencia, el significado y la vida. Así pues, también será una buena introducción a la filosofía de Gendlin. Y si ya están familiarizados con la filosofía de Gendlin, esta serie puede ayudarles a avanzar en su comprensión de una manera nueva.

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.

Trauma therapist and FOT trainer Jeffrey Morrison will give a brief overview of what vicarious and intergenerational trauma is, how it impacts us, and how we can heal and grow from it. He will incorporate aspects of an indigenous land-based understanding expressed from an “All My Relations” perspective. Jeffrey will guide participants to find an aspect of their own vicarious experience they may want to set down. Grief, gratitude, and ritual will be explored in this process.
This presentation is ideal for therapists and other healing professionals who work with and are affected by the trauma of others while also being open to anyone interested in healing. No prior experience with Focusing is necessary.

Somos seres-en-el-mundo en relación con otros. Los contextos sociales, momentos y lugares en que nos encontramos integran también las situaciones vividas en lo cotidiano.
En este webinar exploraremos algunas alternativas para aprovechar nuestras sensaciones experiencias y ponerlas al servicio de una comprensión empática experiencial de la otra persona, en su mundo vivido y en la expresión de dicha comprensión.
