Eastern Time
In this time of social conflict and identity politics, it is increasingly likely that the therapeutic relationship is impacted by global and polarizing events. How does the current zeitgeist of social polarization show up in our therapy rooms? What do we do when it does, and what do we need in order to be congruent within ourselves and for our clients? We hope this Roundtable will provide a welcome and safe space to share our experiences, thoughts and feelings about these challenging issues.

Throughout 2024, join us each Wednesday for a contemplative meditation crossing the Philosophies of Jiddu Krishnamurti and Eugene Gendlin. We meet every Wednesday from 1pm to 2pm EST/NY where we pause to contemplate the truth.
We move slowly through these meditations leaving space for pauses, reflections and focusing partnership interactions - any language and any level of Focusing proficiency is welcome into this space, or none at all.
These events are open and free to the public - each meditation is taken from Krishnamurti's Book of Life.

Eastern Time, New York, USA
Smartview Conversations is a monthly online gathering to explore application of our Focusing skills to daily life and interactions. Our skill emphasis for 2024 is the Power of AND, how we hold our own space in relationship to others and how we hold space within us for both our right and left hemisphere's perspectives.
We will model how to create a safe, playful environment that facilitates neural plasticity. These webinars are FREE to attend. Both experienced Focusers and people new to Focusing are welcome.
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.

EST (New York)
As a way to offer care to our body and psyche in this time, this 1- hour 15 minute class will begin with a few moments of quiet and centering, pre-sensing a state of Wise Self. Bringing alignment to the body, we will move through a series of postures for stretching and strengthening. Yoga lets us massage stiff places, make more space in our spine and joints, and bring flexibility to our attitudes. We will draw inspiration from nature and from being together.

Eastern Time (New York Time)
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.
We meet on zoom twice per month. We have a centering/grounding practice to begin followed by a check in (usually in breakout rooms), followed by time for practice in groups of two or three. You can also chose to join an empathy circle if you'd like to observe or practice in a bigger group.
Our next Changes Groups are:
-Sunday, November 17th, 6:30-8 pm Eastern
-Thursday, December 5th, 11 am -12:30 pm Eastern

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.

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.

An empathy circle, practiced in a Focusing way, is a regular Focusing exchange, held by the entire group. As such, there is a Focuser, a listener, and the remaining participants act as observers/witnesses. After the Focusing, each are invited to offer an empathic reflection to the Focuser.
