Focusing is one of the few things that work well over Zoom, but even so, there's something particularly lovely about coming into a physical space and Focusing in person. My body always breathes out a deep sigh when I unlock the door and walk into this space where I've Focused so many times. It's as if my body is saying, "Ah, here!"

Je propose un stage de 2 jours pour expérimenter comment votre ressenti corporel vous permet de sentir, de décider et d’avancer dans la vie de manière sûr.
Le Focusing Expérientiel vous (ré)apprend à détecter et écouter votre sens corporel. Par son intermédiaire vous retrouvez confiance, intuition, et créativité.
This is a series of Saturday workshops, running once a month, with virtually open intake. Only the Introduction, "The Art of Focusing" (or equivalent) must be taken as a pre-req, the remaining modules are totally flexible. Students who complete 16 specific modules, along with additional practice and supervision criteria, may become certified as a Focusing Oriented Therapist. Program completion takes about 17 -20 months.
Join us for the first 2024 presentation of our ongoing Roots, Branches, and Wings Series with Pioneers and Master Teachers in Focusing and Expressive Arts. Open to those new and experienced in Focusing, Expressive Arts, and FOAT.
The 2024 TAE Academy took place in January. YOU MAY REGISTER FOR THE RECORDINGS which remain available through April 30, 2024.
This online Academy will allow you to both take a deep dive into TAE, and also to get a broad experience of outstanding teachers from all over the world.
TAE is a practice developed by Gene Gendlin and Mary Hendricks-Gendlin. It is related to Focusing but has a different emphasis. Both are grounded in the “felt sense,” that murky sense of something you know which is not yet in words. With TAE, we intentionally and systematically build upon that not-yet-articulated place to allow for something new to be brought into the world.
The Main Classes are intended as live experiences, so please block out the time for those

Aprende a ofrecerte a ti mismo/a el respaldo y el reflejo necesarios para experienciar o «vivir» tus emociones en y desde el cuerpo. De una manera regulada. Sin tener que separarte o disociarte de ellas y sin necesitar sobre pensarlas o racionalizarlas.
Les rêves fascinent depuis la nuit des temps, ils sont mystérieux, messagers, et parfois nous laissent une sensation étrange au réveil. Dans une vidéo en ligne intitulée Dream open doors to focusing (les rêves ouvrent les portes du focusing), Gendlin dit qu’une manière d’apprendre le focusing consiste de partir des rêves, car chaque rêve vous donne un ou plusieurs sentiment bizarres”.
