Aging brings both challenges and opportunities, but it doesn’t have to feel like it’s all downhill from here. In fact, this chapter of life can be one of growth, connection, and newfound purpose.
You can develop a positive outlook on the future (and know how to be kinder to yourself when you can’t do that). Join us and get tools, wisdom, and support for every stage of the aging journey.

We also gradually learn new listening skills. Each class consists of a centering, a small experiential exercise, a demonstration and breakout room practice in groups of twos or threes.
Dates for the next groups:
-Tuesdays, September 17-November 19, 6:30-8:30 pm Eastern (break weeks October 15th and 22nd)
-Tuesdays, February 11-April 8, 6:30-8:30 pm Eastern (break week March 11th).

Jeffrey compartirá una breve descripción general de qué es el trauma y cómo nos afecta, seguida de cuatro etapas del tratamiento del trauma y diez aspectos clave del trabajo con el trauma. Más importante aún, espera involucrar a los participantes en una conversación sobre cómo las heridas y los dones se unen y cómo el Focusing nos ayuda a entrar en nuestra herida para encontrar, desarrollar y compartir nuestros dones. El concepto de "Cafecitos" viene de la idea de estar en la casa de un amigo/a y conversar tomándose un café.

Do you:
- Feel stuck in a difficult life situation?
- Suffer, but can't connect to the aching place inside?
- Or feel your life could be richer in ways you can't yet quite articulate?
And do you want to find your own way forward, one that feels good and that comes from you? Inner Relationship Focusing teaches us how to attend to our inner experience in ways that feel deeply satisfying and brings change.

A Changes Group is a free-of-charge, peer-led group that meets so people can exchange Focusing and listening turns in an atmosphere of safety and mutual respect. It's a group for continuing your Focusing practice; no teaching will be done.

Our next Changes Groups are:
-Thursday, November 7th, 11 am -12:30 pm Eastern
-Sunday, November 17th, 6:30-8 pm Eastern

Focusing Journal is a gentle, creative process of exploration of your inner experience on the page – bypassing the analytical mind and traveling to the surface - as colors, words, shapes, or movement. Flexible visual templates serve as supportive prompts or anchors for your process to emerge with new meanings and possibilities.
These sessions invites alignment with the fall season - the qualities of letting go, unburdening, as well as tending to the inner light. There will be ample space for solo work, reflection, sharing resonance, and enriching our experience.

Sometimes the most special moments are also the simplest.
A veces, los momentos más especiales también son los más simples.
Children approach Focusing instinctively, the most important thing we can provide is simply our empathetic, listening presence. It can be challenging to stand back and let the child’s process unfold on its own.
Los niños se acercan al Focusing de manera instintiva, lo más importante que podemos brindar es simplemente nuestra presencia empática y atenta. Puede ser un desafío dar un paso atrás y dejar que el proceso del niño se desarrolle por sí solo.

Do you have an impulse to do something new in life, based on your lived experience? Or maybe you have a creative project you have set aside, or an aspect of your work that you would like to deepen. In TAE you explore something that draws your interest and attention, whether it stresses you or delights you. The result of your exploration will be a deeper understanding of how Gendlin's philosophy manifests in your own life.

We meet on the 3rd or 4th Tuesday, twice in the same day for different time zones. The times are 11:30am - 12:30pm ET New York time and 7:30 - 8:30pm ET New York time.

For November, we will do body awareness exercises to explore the perspectives of the left and right sides of our body. Most of us will be able to tell how we are wired from this time.
