As we enter 2023, our plans and resolutions are taking shape. But that initial enthusiasm may be overshadowed by last year's experience of again not getting to your most valuable project. Maybe it's writing that one article or even a book, devising a new course, or reworking your website.
We can't start early enough to identify our challenges. In this session, you'll dive into what's holding you back from committing to your endeavor so you can overcome the first obstacle. Be surprised at how your hesitation can be a resource for your project.

Are you new to Focusing or want to refresh the process, or learn with a new teacher?
This small group course (max 8 people) gives you the first few steps into sensing the "more" of what you know, to get in touch with your inner voice, to get a feel for all that is there that does not yet have words or descriptions, but that is the source of next new steps forward in your life.
Felt Sensing (Focusing) will be introduced, and you get to try the process out in reciprocal partnership.

Our human life is a co-created work of art, where the process of creation is enabled as we turn towards a different kind of order; towards an infinite order. TAE steps can support us in carrying forward this extraordinary creation.
In the first phase of the course we will concentrate on explicating the ‘knowing of our lives’. We will continue from there to explore how this inner knowing can manifest and direct us in our field of expertise or developing creative project.

Doorways to the Soul 1 is an introduction of Levels 1 and 2 of Inner Relationship Focusing where the emphasis is on becoming an empowered Focuser and Relaxed Companion.
The hope is that by the end of the course, you’ll be more resourced to care for your own soul and live more fully alive and @E.A.S.E. into your Embodied Authentic Self Essence.
You’ll also learn how to hold space for others to go within and deepen in their sense of True Self.

This workshop began December 9. You can still join this workshop in progress. Recordings of previous sessions will be available after you register.
Living forward is an experience of vital energy that is present in the human body, in nature, in the universe.
In this workshop Mia won’t present big theories, nor will she explain specific knowledge. Each session will start with an introduction to frame the theme and a little bit of sharing from the richness she discovered through various resources. From lived experience she developed some ‘exercises’ or ‘invitations’ everyone can use to explore their own path, trust their own wisdom, discover their own truth and connect to their own mysteries. During the workshop some exercises will be in Focusing pairs (30

Esta serie brinda un espacio para conectar miembros hispanohablantes del Instituto Internacional de Focusing (TIFI). Es un espacio para aprender y expandir el conocimiento sobre Focusing y temas relacionados. El concepto de "Cafecitos" viene de la idea de estar en la casa de un amigo/a y conversar tomándose un café. Queremos que estos Cafecitos se sientan acogedores y que tú te sientas en casa durante estas entrevistas. Cada Cafecito tiene a un nuevo entrevistado quien compartirá su conocimiento sobre algún tema en especial con la comunidad hispanohablante.

December 2022 through February 2023
You might be very familiar with a habitual background atmosphere of restlessness, anxiousness, agitation, or something like that.
At times when this happens, you might know that this inner activation is counter-productive and out of place somehow, but how to find your way to a more relaxed, easy-going state of being?
After accidents, certain neurological illnesses, or challenging emotional incidences, the autonomic nervous system can get stuck in repetitive patterns that challenge our health, well-being, sense of safety and connection, and our creative potential.
We can reprogram our autonomic nervous system and brain, and with that our physical and emotional responses to life’s happenings.

Originally scheduled for November 14, now December Have you ever wondered where Focusing ends and meditation begins (or vice versa)? Do you struggle to meditate consistently? Is your meditation difficult to enjoy – or not quite as delicious as you wish? As a long-term meditator and Focuser (and teacher of both), Elizabeth is fascinated by the processes which take us on our inner journeys. Her approach is flexible and inclusive, in a nutshell, uncovering ways to “meditate as you can, not as you can’t”.
Elizabeth also weaves creativity into her meditation. She draws on poetry and colour to help you plunge happily into your inner world. Her recent book “Journeys to the Deep: A Gentle Guide to Mindfulness Meditation” illustrates this approach. Taking time to reflect and muse

This class is intended for anyone interested in merging Focusing with their other bodies of knowledge, for those who are looking for a way to communicate their way of being with clients and clarify the "unique product" they offer, creating your "niche" as an accompanier. Or simply anyone who is feeling the need to mold something out of everything you know and learned, and being able to bring it to the world.
In this Highlight webinar, Daphna will share her discoveries, the tools she developed during her process of merging all her bodies of knowledge into one whole self, how Focusing is a part of this process and amongst the tools she now uses when accompanying her clients. She is looking forward to sharing the door that opened to an amazing creative

No es fácil recordar nuestra capacidad innata de sentir la vida en cada momento, de encontrarnos con partes de nosotros y esas partes que se despiertan en contacto con el entorno y otras personas.
A menudo, estas facetas de nosotros están tan arraigadas en nuestra experiencia que sentimos que esto es lo que somos. Desde allí vivimos la mayor parte del tiempo, con algo allí dentro de nosotros que está en el transfondo de la experiencia, por lo que, en cierto modo, están en gran medida donde se forma la experiencia de la vida.
Focusing puede ayudarte a sanar y a tener una relación amistosa con tus partes más difíciles y complejas para una evolución progresiva dentro de ti.
En este monográfico nos adenatramos en como acompañar y hacernos amigos de nuestra parte crítica.
