A safe and stimulating space for direct experience of the felt sense of self-empathy, a sense of understanding yourself from inside out.

Holidays can bring much stress due to the weight of layers of expectations for ourselves and others. Focusing can help us to re-weave connections to ourselves just as we are and to develop a welcoming relationship with whatever is arising in us just as it is in each moment.
In this two hour interactive Focusing workshop, we will co-create a safe space to bring ourselves as we truly are in this moment and reconnect to the aliveness in us that wants to be experienced and expressed just the way it is. There will be both whole group and small breakout group opportunities to connect and practice together. Whole group and individual and small group practice will help to re-weave connection to our inner compass.

“Out beyond ideas of wrong-doing and right-doing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there. And when our souls lie down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about” - Rumi
In challenging times like these, it feels increasingly important to take time to experience a dimension in us that is not touched and affected by what is going on around and within us. This inner dimension does not disconnect us emotionally from what is happening but it allows us to rest and resource ourselves so that we can stay open and be more fully present to Life.
Rumi's poem above is an invitation to rest in this dimension - sometimes called “the underlying field of living Presence"– a sense of the aliveness felt within the body and around us as a nourishing Presence

Focusing Highlights is a series of interactive, online pay-what-you-can classes.
How can we use the Focusing process to encourage a long-desired change, to give up a habit and develop a new one, or to make a difficult decision?
In this Highlight webinar, Amona will guide participants to experiment with some action-step inviting practices which you can use as both Focuser or Companion.
All are welcome to attend. Some experience with Focusing will be helpful but is not required.

Joanna Macy’s Work-That-Reconnects (“the Work”) provides both a model for the current unraveling of social and ecological systems and an experiential group process for transforming the difficult feelings arising from this unraveling. This workshop will explore how Focusing and the Work might complement each other. It will include some conceptual framing of the Work, breakout exercises, and group harvesting.

Are you stressed about your feelings around the US election? A lot of people are. It’s the most momentous election in living memory, and there is so much that could go wrong. Even if you’re doing everything you can, you might still be feeling tense and anxious to the point of distraction and sleeplessness.
Meeting the challenges of this unprecedented time will require all of us to be as calm, alert, and wise as we can possibly be.
We’d like to help. In this 30-minute free webinar, Ann Weiser Cornell and Barbara McGavin, creators of Inner Relationship Focusing, will offer their supportive and compassionate presence, including tips for navigating stressful emotions in extreme times.

During the last 4 years of Gendlin's life, Dave Young had weekly conversations with Gene that started with this question: “So what’s alive in you?” The talks took place at the initiative of TIFI who asked David Young to conduct and transcribe conversations with Gendlin with the intent that they would be published.
In this 4-session series, we will meet each time for 90 minutes to read closely some of these "conversations", and to look into the new ideas embedded in them. More importantly, we will identify the subtle steps a great philosopher takes whilst slowly
