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.

Right now calm might feel... well, impossible.
Things are truly hard at the moment and experiencing challenging emotions in difficult times is normal.
Yet, it is possible to:
* Soothe your anxiety and fear so you can make clear decisions for yourself and the ones you love
* Know exactly what to do when emotions get overwhelming so you can come back to calm faster
* Be compassionate with your feelings and the feelings of those closest to you right now
I’ve been helping people do this for over 35 years in more than 19 countries worldwide, and I’d love to help you too.

Our bodies nervous systems are being challenged in ways we could never have imagined in these scary days that are upon us. We need to socially distance at a time that we need to flock. Luckily, we have a capacity to adapt, and Focusing On Borden (located in Toronto, Canada) is doing so, by offering our community an online course through Zoom. We will come together to connect and explore ways to apply concepts in Polyvagal Theory to our embodied practice of Focusing.
