Presenter: Hideo Tanaka, Ph.D. with
Moderator: Akira Ikemi, Ph.D.
Experiencing and the Creation of Meaning (Gendlin, 1962/1997) is a seminal work from Gendlin's early years. It is the theoretical cornerstone for practices such as "Focusing" and "Thinking at the Edge".
This work explores in detail how words and felt sense support each other. The more you unpack the work, the more you will see what roles words and felt sense each play in "forming a felt sense," "getting a handle," and "resonating the handle."
This presentation will explain the functional relationships between words and the felt sense that is a core part of this work, while also explaining the terms "experiencing,

Do you dread speaking in public? Or maybe you enjoy it, but get very nervous?
Maybe you know you have as much to say as anyone else and a part of you really wants to give more talks.
But another part is terrified you’ll mess up, another is saying you’re no good, and yet another is annoyed that you feel like this. There are almost too many parts to keep track of, and each talk brings the same old smorgasbord of misery.
This course will help you develop a whole new way of approaching this issue of public speaking. You will be asked to deliver a short talk in front of the group in week 5, and given some skills training to help you do that. But skills training is a small component of this course.
Mostly, I invite you to explore

British Standard Time/Irish Standard TIme
Do you:
- Feel stuck in a difficult life situation?
- Suffer considerably but find you can't connect with the aching place inside?
- Or feel your life is ok but could be richer and more intimate in ways you can't yet quite articulate?
And do you want to find your own way forward, one that feels good and that comes from you?
Inner relationship focusing teaches us how to attend to our inner experience in a way that feels deeply satisfying. This attending to ourselves brings change both inside and outside, as stuck places within begin to feel safe enough to take their next steps.

12 week course
Openly exploratively focusing in what really
holistically and concretely satiates ourselves as a
whole person.
What is the role of "really" or ''whole" mentioned above? Can we
split a person, life and eating food? Why do that,
if you can create and live one life based process?

“The work of the mature person is to carry grief in one hand and gratitude in the other and be stretched by them. How much sorrow can I hold? That’s how much gratitude I can give.” ~Francis Weller
This presentation is an opportunity to explore the relationship between the sorrow life brings and the joy experienced when burdens are set down, making room for a fluid heart that embraces the joyful sorrow of life in connection with others.
Jeffrey will share reflections from a carrier as a trauma therapist. He will offer writing prompts to explore your relationship with grief, sorrow, gratitude, and joy and how listening to their calling helps us grow and heal. Time will be given for people to share what they wrote so we can experience a shift from the personal
