Focusing and Expressive Arts Institute René Veugelers
Does it sometimes seem like a challenge to find words to fit your Felt Sense?

Wouldn't it be relaxing to invite your body to express itself in color and/or in movement, instead of words?

Join us for the last 2024 presentation of our ongoing Roots, Branches, and Wings Series with Pioneers and Master Teachers in Focusing and Expressive Arts. Open to those new and experienced in Focusing, Expressive Arts, and FOAT!

Smartview Conversations, Living a Focusing Way of Life Sandy Jahmi Burg, 2019
Smartview Conversations is a monthly online gathering to explore application of our Focusing skills to daily life and interactions. Our skill emphasis for 2024 is the Power of AND, how we hold our own space in relationship to others and how we hold space within us for both our right and left hemisphere's perspectives.

We will model how to create a safe, playful environment that facilitates neural plasticity. These webinars are FREE to attend. Both experienced Focusers and people new to Focusing are welcome.

We meet on the 3rd or 4th Tuesday, twice in the same day for different time zones. The times are 11:30am - 12:30pm ET New York time and 7:30 - 8:30pm ET New York time.

Ann Weiser Cornell
Want to watch as Ann Weiser Cornell guides someone through their very first Focusing session?

Focusing can be puzzling to talk about. It can be hard to learn from a book or a video. But when someone is actually taken through the process, you get it! Be present to observe as Ann guides three first-time Focusers (one each week) - and then comment afterward. The guest Focusers are volunteers who understand that their session will be witnessed by a safe and respectful group of people.

Honoring Milestones The International Focusing Institute Event
In 2023, we began a tradition of having an annual online "Honoring Milestones" ceremony. The ceremony begins by acknowledging all those newly certified by TIFI and those who have become Coordinators (who are also acknowledged monthly in our InFocus News Feed, and on our Milestones page on focusing.org). Toward the end of the Honoring Milestones ceremony, we take time to remember Coordinators who have recently passed. All members of The International Focusing Institute are warmly welcome to attend this online ceremony.

Focusing Journal Dana Hercbergs
This practice is different from “regular” journaling. The workshop will invite exploration and transformation of your inner experience on the page – as colors, words, shapes, or movement. Dana will provide flexible visual templates that allow participants to adjust and re-invent as needed. Bypassing the analytical mind, we will let signals from our bodily awareness to travel through the hand to the page. As this process occurs, felt meanings begin to emerge. We will pause to witness what we are holding, select affirming words, and hone the potential to take the process deeper. There will be ample space for solo practice, reflection, and sharing.
25 USD per session.

Dates & Times:
Tuesday, Oct 8th at 11am-12:30pm or Thursday, Oct 10th, 3:30-5pm
