Gendlin valued Clearing a Space very highly. How about you? Is Clearing a Space (CAS) a standard part of your own Focusing practice, or your teaching of Focusing? Or have you replaced it with something else – maybe an attunement? Join us to share what place CAS has in your Focusing practice – is it essential, optional, irrelevant or something else?

Smartview Conversations is a monthly online gathering to explore the application of our Focusing skills to daily life and interactions. Our skill emphasis for 2025 is being our own Self-Mentor. We will explore and build the resourcing qualities life is asking of us now.
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. These webinars emphasize Gendlin's action step; how is it we bring Focusing concepts into our daily living.
We meet on the 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.

This eight-week Focusing course will create a gathering place for professionals to learn to hold space for the complex interplay of climate emotions in their work and simultaneously, to also show up as individuals. Combining current neuroscience, trauma praxis, and embodied practices we will develop an understanding of our patterned threat responses and explore new ways of showing up in the world with the power of our embodied intuition, and a fresh sense of connection to the cosmos and our community.

Biospiritual Emergent Expression (BEE*) provides a fresh portal into the Felt Sense through pre-verbal Emergent Expression, allowing the Focuser to interact with the felt sense in an organic and spontaneous way without the need for words. Within BEE, Focusers also learn how to incorporate ”Affection Qualities”, the voice of caring-loving presence, as they come into relationship with their voice and its Emergent Expressions.
In this introductory somatic experience, participants will discover a unique Emergent Expression and companioning Affection Qualities that can augment their current Focusing practice.

Wil je graag die mogelijkheid om met mildheid aanwezig te zijn bij wat je ervaart, verder ontwikkelen?
Wil je graag dat het Focusing vlotter gaat en het nog meer je eigen weg ondersteunt?
In de Focusingtraining niveau 2 ga je verdiepen en verder ontwikkelen wat je leerde in niveau 1. Je groeit in je mogelijkheden om niet-oordelend aanwezig te zijn bij het focusingproces van jezelf en van anderen, zowel in focusingsessies als in de drukte van alledag. Je leert nog meer te vertrouwen op het proces en hoe je dit verder kan ondersteunen door jouw luisterende aanwezigheid. Omdat je Focusing leert door het te doen is het een ervaringsgerichte training waarin we veel samen oefenen. Omdat Focusing beoefenen noodzakelijk is om de effecten ervan op je leven te ervaren,

Hora de Nueva York
Mediante presentaciones, debates y ejercicios experienciales, este curso explorará la forma en que Gendlin entiende la sensación sentida y, al mismo tiempo, su forma de entender la conciencia, el significado y la vida. Así pues, también será una buena introducción a la filosofía de Gendlin. Y si ya están familiarizados con la filosofía de Gendlin, esta serie puede ayudarles a avanzar en su comprensión de una manera nueva.
