This process group is an opportunity to meet in a group of up to six people for six weeks to allow the process of Focusing to carry you forward, while deepening both your Focusing and listening skills. There is a strong emphasis on building self-compassion through common humanity in this group, and we utilize the practice of empathy circles with empathic reflections each class to help achieve this goal. We will also use a mix of either round-robin interactive responses and breakout room practice.

Developmental trauma can result in insecure attachment to self and others. Inner Relationship Focusing is an embodied toolkit uniquely suited to addressing attachment wounds that lead to insecure attachment strategies. SIRF supports building a secure relationship with embodied partial self states, shifting internal working models of self and other from insecure to earned secure, while building regulation skills in support of embodied presence. By supporting the development of a secure relationship with self and partial self states in a deeply embodied way, regulation skills improve and range of resilience expands, supporting greater possibilities for repair of attachment related ruptures to self and others.

Imagine being really present in the here-and-now…enjoying interpersonal moments with the freedom to be yourself, to feel good – to experience surprise and delight instead of repetitive, stressful patterns of interaction.
Social Oriented Focusing (SOF) teaches us to untie the KNOTS and NOTS that interfere with relating to others, enabling us to overcome blocks, fears, and automatic behaviors.

Eugene Gendlin wrote: “Your physically felt body is in fact part of a gigantic system of here and other places, now and other times, you and other people - in fact, the whole universe. The sense of being bodily alive in a vast system is the body as felt from the inside."
But most of us are born and raised with a very different sense of who we are – merely a fragile object in a sea of other objects, an inherently stressful view of ourselves. It can therefore feel very natural to fall back into this default way of being in the world, locked in a holding pattern of isolation, tension, and a lack of trust in ourselves. We will spend this daylong retreat reconnecting with the felt reality of "being bodily alive in a vast system" of support.

Treasure Maps is a 6-day residential retreat, an intensive workshop for people with Focusing experience who want to apply our Untangling® method to life’s most hard-to-change issues.
We’ve been teaching Treasure Maps in 15 countries over the past 25 years, helping thousands of people learn our method, getting responses like this one from Paul Fitzgerald: "The Treasure Maps experience was like a dissolving of an old way of seeing life and having new eyes to engage life with more freedom. I'd highly encourage anyone interested in deepening their Focusing to take this course."
We believe that transformation occurs most readily in an atmosphere of respect, acceptance, openness, warmth, playfulness, and support. Our mission is to enable you to live
