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.

Experience a series of playful and profound Focusing processes for encountering the most unlovable parts of yourself… and embracing them. Not only that but also embracing the part of you that doesn’t love them! The result: at least a taste of the freedom and ease that are possible for you as you transform painful inner states into something more life-affirming.

AEDT
This free online conversation is Part of the Focusing Roundtable series especially for TIFI members in Australia and New Zealand. In this Roundtable, As Down Under Focusers, we are often separated by vast distances from each other, as well as from the rest of the world. This platform of virtual Roundtables provided by TIFI can help us to connect, build community, and draw on the deep pool of experience and knowledge we have.
Indigenous peoples of both Australia and New Zealand share an ancient tradition of deep listening. In that spirit, we offer the first Roundtables conversation. Deep listening is also vital to Focusing.

Focusing Highlights is a series of interactive, online pay-what-you-can classes.
Kjell will teach us about how the endeavor of acquiring a foreign language differs from the task of learning the rules of a language. This class is designed to also enrich your dialogue with yourself, and there will be time for questions and discussion.

This free online conversation is Part of the Focusing Roundtable series for TIFI members. In this Roundtable, we will explore how we, as Focusers, might provide support to refugees, as well as the potential that a Focusing oriented approach might provide. There are many possibilities for supporting refugees, both informally and formally. Informal approaches might include welcoming refuges and helping them to integrate into local communities by being present, listening, and providing practical support. More formal possibilities might include offering Focusing-oriented programs that enable people to find greater resilience or inner strength. We also will explore how Focusing might provide self-care to ourselves as we support people who have experienced often severe difficulties or trauma.

The process of Thinking at the Edge gives your ideas and projects the time and space they need to grow. You will learn how sense into your own lived experience, bringing life to your ideas in a way that can’t be reached by intellect alone. As a result, your project will become imbued with heart-felt breadth, depth, and commitment.

This course covers the basics of working with dreams, including how to recall and record dreams, current dream science relevant to dreamwork, and live dreamwork demonstrations to ground these ideas in practice. It is designed for clinicians, but open to anyone who wants to work more confidently with dreams. In addition to 7 self-paced talks (voice-over powerpoint) that you can watch as often as you like, there will be a combination of demos and live sessions, recorded so you can listen later if needed.
In this online-class we are going to think in an experiential / "Thinking at the Edge-way" about how Focusing can be applied to Coaching.
The class includes an introduction to TAE-steps 1-5 .
You are going to explore your personal felt meaning of "Focusing-oriented Coaching", the challenges and paradoxes of it and the richness of finding new ways of "Focusing in Coaching."

Focusing Highlights is a series of interactive, online pay-what-you-can classes. Bio-Spirituality is the name of a Focusing approach developed in a Christian tradition. Its founders, Peter Campbell and Ed McMahon, both Catholic Jesuits and Psychotherapists, describe Bodily knowing and learning in this way: `Values, basic human goodness, and a positive sense of self are all learned in the body! It doesn’t grow in us because we follow an external list of do’s and don’ts. It is not discovered through religious or ethical interpretations. Rather, it is given to us through our body’s ability to be aware of its connections and in the knowing of being part of a Greater Whole. Bio-Spiritual Focusing is the bridge that connects you with a Sacred Place greater than yourself.’
