The historical role of our great spiritual traditions, whether theistic or non-theistic, has been to challenge authority, question prevailing opinions, pursue truth, advocate for the voiceless, forgive the unforgiven, and persuade through love rather than force. We invite you to a retreat on radical love. Radical not as a mere synonym but as an antonym to the extremisms polarizing contemporary societies. Radical as in returning to our roots (radix) and sources, seeking a love that is able to to create space for and prioritize the well-being of the other, and offer a path to personal healing and liberation. The type of love that the Buddha and Mahaprajapati, Mary and Jesus, Socrates and Hypatia, and Esther and Jeremiah pursued unwaveringly.
The retreat will be hosted by the Institut Vajra Yogini, a Buddhist center located in a 19th century chateau in the French country-side near Toulouse.

Trauma therapist and FOT trainer Jeffrey Morrison will give a brief overview of what vicarious and intergenerational trauma is, how it impacts us, and how we can heal and grow from it. He will incorporate aspects of an indigenous land-based understanding expressed from an “All My Relations” perspective. Jeffrey will guide participants to find an aspect of their own vicarious experience they may want to set down. Grief, gratitude, and ritual will be explored in this process.
This presentation is ideal for therapists and other healing professionals who work with and are affected by the trauma of others while also being open to anyone interested in healing. No prior experience with Focusing is necessary.

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.

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?

Most of us know that being able to listen in a Focusing way usually requires lots of practice and reflection. Yet, when we speak with others, we often find we have nothing but our habits to guide us. We can’t expect ourselves to automatically be skilled at speaking up, speaking out, speaking to and from our felt sense. Especially when we speak in larger groups, our Focusing skills can disappear! We need a place to practice speaking and some guidance to find a new way.
These Being Focusing Together gatherings will use Gendlin’s little known unpublished manuscript "Fitting In and Pouring Out, and Relating" to help us do just that. We will use our time together to experiment with new patterns and see if we find fresh ways to be Focusing in our group interactions.

A four-day retreat (July 9-13, 2025, France)for those wishing to deepen their Focusing practice and explore constellations as an expanded form of Felt Sense work.
Focusing and person-centered constellations meet in a way that opens fresh pathways into inner experience.
Set within a powerful river landscape framed by meadows and ancient trees, nature accompanies the process as a quiet, living dialogue partner. Nestled in a beautiful French château, this setting offers a special container for profound presence and growth.
