Ongoing Learning Community for Mastery in Guiding Change

Oh my, what a joy to be here! Here we will continue our journey in facilitating change.

This course/community is a lovely supportive space to continue experiential learning with other advanced Focusers or to pursue certification at your own pace as a Focusing Professional or Trainer with TIFI. We gather here to receive support and to provide support to others as we continue exploring our edges in holding space for and guiding change within ourselves, others and the world around us. 

We’ll meet 20 times a year, twice a month from September through June. Our schedule is primarily first Sunday mornings 11am - 12:30pm ET and third Monday evenings 7:30-9pm ET New York time of each month.  We record all meetings if both times are not convenient for you.

One year starting January 2025 and ending December 2025 

*September will generally be second Sundays and fourth Mondays due to Labor Day holiday.

All gatherings will be facilitated by me or Marki Webber on zoom. Following up on our format from the 1st year, community members are encouraged to bring case studies, to offer 45-90 min workshops to practice teaching something you’ve learned/explored outside of our class and also to bring topics for small group Focusing/felt sense sharing. Once a year, we'll schedule a Changes style format. Changes groups were developed by Gendlin and other early Trainers both to make Focusing practice easily accessible and to introduce new people. These will be led by Learn Focusing Trainer, Barbara Dickinson who offers Exploring Interaction Changes meetings once a month on Sundays HERE. 

We will have a few Guests Presenters each year. It looks like Bruce Nayowith will become a regular. He has explored many other modalities that glove well with Focusing and will help us understand both the essence and limitations of Focusing. Marki is also trained in several other modalities and will particularly bring Family Constellations to give us more depth in exploring cultural and intergenerational trauma. 

We are excited about the unique life skills you each bring with you to our space. We are honored to be a companion and fellow traveler with you all. Cheers for the beginners mind of self-in-presence and for having fun together in the process!

Registration lasting for 1 year opens each September and January.

If you are new here, please contact Sandy to schedule a 30 min free chat. We can sense into whether this is a good fit. Plus, the more we understand what you are looking for, the more likely you'll find it here. :-)
