Want to watch as Ann Weiser Cornell guides someone through their very first Focusing session?
Focusing can be puzzling to talk about. It can be hard to learn from a book or a video. But when someone is actually taken through the process, you get it! Be present to observe as Ann guides three first-time Focusers (one each week) - and then comment afterward. The guest Focusers are volunteers who understand that their session will be witnessed by a safe and respectful group of people.

The workshop in Yerevan is adressing 'Psycholgical Materialism' as well as ‘Spiritual Bypassing’ and 'Process-oriented Spirituality' as an option to deal with the challenges of developing as a person in private and professional life. Often the personality and egotism are ruling processes in spiritual groups of the various traditions.
Gene Gendlin emphasised the crucial point in moving towards the unknown in myself. The Murky Edge as a technical term is that point of reference. After Gene Gendlin’s work was discovered by the Buddhist community in North America, spiritual bypassing came again into the picture. Generally spoken we are at the same time trapped by the pull of the past and the expectations of the future related to our associated

Jerusalem Time
At some time or another, all of us have been in conflict with someone that we love or that is significant in our lives. Perhaps it was a parent, a child, a partner, a friend, a colleague…whoever it was, something happened, something got in the way of the relationship.
In Social Oriented Focusing ׂׂ(SOFׁ) there is an understanding that the relationship is more important than the conflict, and from this perspective, we can use SOF tools to stop our automatic patterns of reacting and actually manage the conflict.
