Do you dread speaking in public? Or maybe you enjoy it, but get very nervous?
Maybe you know you have as much to say as anyone else and a part of you really wants to give more talks.
But another part is terrified you’ll mess up, another is saying you’re no good, and yet another is annoyed that you feel like this. There are almost too many parts to keep track of, and each talk brings the same old smorgasbord of misery.
This course will help you develop a whole new way of approaching this issue of public speaking. You will be asked to deliver a short talk in front of the group in week 5, and given some skills training to help you do that. But skills training is a small component of this course.
Self-care isn't just about finding ways to unwind. It's about taking care of your well-being at every level – mind, body, emotions, spirit, and relationships.
Whether You’re:
Burned out, exhausted, or overwhelmed from juggling too much for too long. Tired and making it through the day, but hoping it could get better. Or engaged in good self-care and wanting to deepen your practice.
This course will help you create small, sustainable changes so you can live a more well-rested, self-loving life.
Die Focusing Wochen auf dem Achberg sind seit über drei Jahrzehnten ein alljährlicher Treffpunkt für Focusing-Interessierte aus Deutschland, der Schweiz und Österreich. Ein Schwerpunkt ist das Angebot von Focusing-Grundkursen, Themenkursen und dem Trainerkurs. Ein anderer Schwerpunkt wird gebildet durch experimentelle Gruppen zur Weiterentwicklung des Focusing-Ansatzes und/oder Schreibprojekte. Neben den fortbildungsorientierten Teilnehmer:innen gibt es auch die Möglichkeit für Focusing-Interessierte, ihre eigenen Projektvorhaben mitzubringen und den Austausch mit Interessierten zu suchen.
Herzlich willkommen sind auch diejenigen, die nur ausspannen, am wunderschönen Pool liegen oder die Infrastruktur des Hauses genießen (man kann auch zelten und campen!) und von der speziellen
- Feel stuck in a difficult life situation?
- Suffer considerably but find you can't connect with the aching place inside?
- Or feel your life is ok but could be richer and more intimate in ways you can't yet quite articulate?
And do you want to find your own way forward, one that feels good and that comes from you?
Inner relationship focusing teaches us how to attend to our inner experience in a way that feels deeply satisfying. This attending to ourselves brings change both inside and outside, as stuck places within begin to feel safe enough to take their next steps.
Este Programa está dirigido específicamente para terapeutas, psicólogos, counselors, que quieran enriquecer su trabajo con Focusing y obtener la Certificación como Terapeuta Orientado al Focusing (FOT) de TIFI.

Los encuentros son semanales, de 1 hora y 1/2 , los jueves, y se pueden tomar de forma independiente o como parte del Programa de Certificación.
You are invited to become a part of our group as we learn the Inner Relationship Focusing process. In this live virtual nine-week course, you will acquire the skills necessary for cultivating radical lasting life change.
At our core, we are dedicated to cultivating close-knit classroom settings that prioritize immersive, experiential education. Say goodbye to silently staring at screens!

Are there things you need to do, or want to do, but you just don’t do them?
Whether you’re struggling to exercise, change your eating habits, can’t seem to make time for self-care, long to pursue a dream but can’t get any traction, or have another sort of stuck action, we’d love to show you how to work with what’s blocking you so you can move forward.
You’ll also discover how to break free from motivation styles based on being hard on yourself so you can move forward with kindness and self-compassion!

“The work of the mature person is to carry grief in one hand and gratitude in the other and be stretched by them. How much sorrow can I hold? That’s how much gratitude I can give.” ~Francis Weller

Creating Space for Community is a bi-monthly gathering to explore concepts around inner/outer community building, belonging and thriving.
These webinars are FREE to attend. During our time together, we will create a safe, playful environment to explore how we show up for the communities outside of us. These webinars emphasize Gendlin's action step; how is it we bring Focusing concepts into our daily living.
