We are beings-in-the-world in relationship with others. How we feel colors our experiences of the social contexts, moments, and places in each situation. This is where voices, gestures and silences become valuable means both to be aware of how the other person feels, and to express our understanding as companions who listen in an empathic way.
In this webinar, we will explore some ways to connect with our bodily felt senses which guide us to an experiential empathic listening and understanding.

Relationships: Your Greatest Challenge... And Opportunity
Every relationship struggle you face isn't just a problem—it's a doorway. On the other side lies what you've been searching for: deeper connection, authentic expression, and the intimacy that makes life rich. You sense this truth already, don't you?
Growing Closer gives you a map when the path feels unclear. This isn't another course telling you what's wrong with your relationships. It's a warm invitation to finally feel at home with others by first coming home to yourself.

（English Course)The course will start when we have received four applications.（Japanese Course) The second Sunday of every month.1pm-5pm (JST）
TAE（Thinking At the Edge）, developed by Eugene Gendlin, was designed for people who are tracking something they sense but have been unable to say. The 14 steps of TAE help you to speak from that something in creative ways. Learning TAE gives you new tools to help you meet yourself more deeply. This is because the something you sense implies and suggests the way you are and will be.
In this workshop, you will learn the TAE steps more easily using the 'TAE Form' created by your teacher. You will find that it guides your TAE process naturally as you write your words into it. You will also see the relationship between the TAE steps and Gendlin's philosophy.
Learning with other participants and "Crossing" with them through felt sense will open up

This workshop invites exploration and transformation of your inner experience on the page--as colors, words, shapes, or movement. Dana will provide a template that participants can adjust and re-invent as needed. Sitting quietly for some moments, we will notice what issue, overall feeling, or energetic field comes to our awareness. Bypassing the analytical mind, we will let signals from our bodily awareness to travel through the hand—via pencil or crayon—to the page. As this self-witnessing occurs, felt meanings begin to emerge. There will be time for solo work, small pair sharing/focusing, and group sharing.

Social Oriented Focusing (SOF) invites us into an embodied practice to untie the KNOTS and NOTS that interfere with relating to others, enabling us to overcome blocks, fears, and automatic behaviors. Imagine being fully present in the here-and-now in a Focusing way, enjoying interpersonal moments with the freedom to be yourself, instead of repeating stressful patterns of separation.
In SOF Course Level 1, we will set out on an SOF journey of discovery from separation to connection. In a safe group setting, we will explore the steps from feeling alone to feeling together, while being our authentic selves.
SOF expands our Focusing awareness allowing us to meet others while remaining intimate with ourselves and our present moment experience, facilitating

Pacific Time
When we let ourselves play something out, we are inviting and allowing the energy of an inner being to awaken and to body forth, to live it out further and more fully than was possible in the situation. This active, dynamic process enables us to awaken and more fully live (play) something out from within its own spirit-energy without interference. As we connect with our whole body, as well as the larger body of our group, we activate a larger awareness and sensitive attuning to the movement of spirit through the living body, flowing within us, between us and around us. This transformational process enables us to participate in the healing of ourselves, the healing of each other and the healing of the world.

PART 2 is about deepening into the Focusing and Listening process by looking more at the role of how we companion ourselves as well as others. We develop further our personal concept of creating an inner space that welcomes it all and adapting that space as we follow our process. I introduce relational neuroscience here.
Experience in a beginner partnership course is required. Discount for partnership courses or experience beyond that. A great place for advanced Focusers to return to.

While Focusing has long had a home in psychotherapy and also as a powerful modality for personal development, professional coaching has lagged behind in ways to work with the implicit aspects of cognition.
