Taster (1 hour) for:
3-month Nervous System Reset online course
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 emotionally challenging 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 invite and gradually build new patterns in our autonomic

EET
Our attempt is to provide a wider view of psychotherapy and of how personal development might be supported, beyond schools and techniques. In this frame we would like to present Gene Gendlin's murky edge as a very basic reference point, which addresses a core principle in psychotherapyt. Gendlin’s stance shall be demonstrated with the following quotation:
" I want to start with the most important thing I have to say: The essence of working with another person is to be present as a living being. And that is lucky, because if we had to be smart, or good, or mature, or wise, then we would probably be in trouble. But, what matters is not that. What matters is to be a human being with another human being, to recognize the other person as another being in there. Even if it

Eastern (New York) Time
"For us prayer is being responsive to the unfolding of the felt-sense as a Carrying Forward of the Larger System."
The Art of Prayer (AoP) is a regenerative learning approach exploring a core component of our shared human existence - our natural capacity for prayer. It is a framework of practices, in which people from all walks of life and traditions, religious and secular, prayers and non-prayers - are invited to reconnect and rediscover gateways into the field of prayer.
The practice of AoP forms a complementary aspect of POF - Prayer Oriented Focusing - in which Focusing practices are integrated into an embodied, living model for existence.
In this workshop we will: Introduce the approach as developed in Shakio Institute; Practice

PDT (Pacific Daylight Time)
This presentation includes a brief overview of FOAT with an experiential exercise on the “Focusing Attitude.” The exercise teaches how to be curious and “friendly” to our inner experience; and the basic step of FOAT– how to access a felt sense, symbolize it as an image, gesture, sound, word, or phrase– and express it through the arts. This FOAT exercise is a self-care practice for practitioners that can also be applied to working with others.

Introduction to Focusing and my Basic Focusing Skills Course
Relate to yourself and others with freshness, emotional intelligence, and an open heart.
Focusing offers a way for coming into loving contact with yourself and others. When you are in contact with your body, with your inner sense of something, letting your expressions arise from there, you are accessing insights that are much deeper and vaster than the emotional or mental dimensions alone can offer.
With this foundation, the way in which your life unfolds is experienced as deeply meaningful; sometimes it’s easy, sometimes it’s difficult, but there is always an undercurrent sense of rightness, of following a natural flow.
The full course will take place: November 28, 2022 to June 12,

Daremos una visión introductoria de ¿qué es Focusing? con algún ejercicio experiencial.
Focusing nos conecta con nuestra vivencia corporal y nos ayuda a lidiar con nuestras emociones no deseadas para encontrar más paz interna y mayor vitalidad.
Ante a las emociones no deseadas e incomodas como incertidumbre, ansiedad, frustración, miedo, ira, tristeza…. intentamos evitarlas, otras nos peleamos con ellas pero parece que nada funciona para que esto cambie.
Focusing es una guía interna que nos ayuda a acoger y escuchar amorosamente todas estas vivencias para transformarlas.
“Lo que se resiste persiste lo que se acepta se transforma”.
