Class will be recorded for all registrants and available for viewing for one month.
Gaining a profession at a predefined pace and subsequently following a structured career path often defines the adult world. Regardless of one’s stage of life or career, staying connected to personal vitality and taking one’s dreams seriously remains essential. This connection is not merely enriching; it is widely seen as a prerequisite for genuine mastery.
This Highlight invites participants to explore the dynamics of excellence through carefully selected, playful exercises. These are inspired by Experiential-Concept-Coaching (ECC), rooted in the work of Eugene Gendlin and based on Focusing and Thinking-at the-Edge (TAE). ECC supports individuals and groups in their development and creative processes by integrating bodily knowing and experiential learning, enabling them to think and act from a Felt Sense.
Fostering the integration of experiential approaches within one’s own professional field is a central aim in ECC. Participants will gain insights through practical examples, while theoretical reflections will help broaden and deepen the understanding of development from an experiential perspective. An introduction for organic support that opens a creative space to unleash ones potential.
All are welcome to attend. Some familiarity with Focusing will be helpful.
Format
We use Zoom videoconferencing for our online classes. The session will be held in meeting format so that all participants can see the presenters and each other. You will need to have a computer/mobile device. Calling in by phone is also possible but not preferred as participation in breakout rooms will be limited.
All registrants (whether or not you attend live) can view the recording for one month. Breakout rooms are not recorded.
