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.
1.5 hour Introduction to a 2- to 6- month online Focusing course in which you learn all the fundamentals for having Focusing Partnerships, and for Focusing alone or in a group.

In 2023, we began a tradition of having an annual online "Honoring Milestones" ceremony. The ceremony begins by acknowledging all those newly certified by TIFI and those who have become Coordinators (who are also acknowledged monthly in our InFocus News Feed, and on our Milestones page on focusing.org). Toward the end of the Honoring Milestones ceremony, we take time to remember Coordinators who have recently passed. All members of The International Focusing Institute are warmly welcome to attend this online ceremony.

With Integrative Focusing, the goal of lasting change is not separate from how we work to achieve it.
You practice ways to foster a mindful, proactive space in which clients will organically tap into their inner ability to heal and grow.
You develop a quality of presence that allows clients to face what might otherwise feel uncomfortable or even unbearable and allows new possibilities to emerge.
Discover powerful skills for life change based on self-acceptance and being present in the moment. Start to experience the process of Focusing and Focusing partnership. Learn how to cultivate an inner environment of calm, open, curious awareness which is the foundation from which lasting change emerges. Interactive beginning Focusing training by Zoom for 9 weeks, includes partnership practice.
Taught by Jinevra Howard and Ann Weiser Cornell (author of The Power of Focusing).
Includes videos, demos, readings, discussion, group exercises, and individual sessions.
This practice is different from “regular” journaling. The workshop will invite exploration and transformation of your inner experience on the page – as colors, words, shapes, or movement. Dana will provide flexible visual templates that allow participants to adjust and re-invent as needed. Bypassing the analytical mind, we will let signals from our bodily awareness to travel through the hand to the page. As this process occurs, felt meanings begin to emerge. We will pause to witness what we are holding, select affirming words, and hone the potential to take the process deeper. There will be ample space for solo practice, reflection, and sharing.
25 USD per session.
Dates & Times:
Tuesday, Oct 8th at 11am-12:30pm or Thursday, Oct 10th, 3:30-5pm

Changes Groups are a place for Focusers to gather and share, and take part in Focusing in pairs or triads. They give us a space in our busy lives to pause, take time and check in with our bodies.
This is a 1 1/2 Introduction to the Two Year Training Course which will begin Nov. 2024-May 2027
Join us to learn about the Immersive Experience you will embark on and immerse among a small group of curious, interested Beings who all have a Focusing Attitude in common.
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 behaviours. 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
