Grupo semanal de lectura del libro Focusing: Proceso y Técnica del enfoque corporal. Nos concentramos en el "proceso"... a veces no tenemos tiempo de practicar la "técnica" debido a la discusión y relaciones que vamos tejiendo.
Tratamos de darle continuidad y presencia a los aprendizajes significativos que el libro nos propone, formamos un lindo grupo humano para ello.

Understanding who we are in an embodied way is a powerful way to grow our emotional regulation and emotional intelligence. When we know what it feels like in our bodies when we get scared, or mad, or are happy—or when more complicated patterns or parts emerge—then we can more quickly notice these shifts in our autonomic nervous system. This clarity helps us know when we need to self-soothe or reach out to others for co-regulation.
The class spends the first three weeks in the grounded parts, building a “safe nest” to do the deeper Focusing on our wounded and protector parts in weeks four to seven. As we map our parts, we also map out our timeline. At first with the key memories, and then with the parts that are connected to the memories. We finish the class by completing

Once a month on Tuesday - 12th and final session September 3, 2024.

Be ready to enjoy what Gendlin says from a new point of view — with discussions, TAE, Focusing, guest presenters, surprising exercises, and sweet inner contemplation. Most featured quotes will be taken from his interviews and writings that you may have never contemplated before.
Focusing Journal offers a gentle and creative way to support your interior process. The practice is different from “regular” journaling: Each session invites exploration and transformation of your felt experience on the page—as colors, lines, words, shapes, or symbols.
We will attend to our bodily experiencing– in the form of sensations, posture, subtleties of movement, stuckness, and so forth. Bypassing the analytical mind, we let them travel through the hand—via pencil or crayon—to the page.
As this self-witnessing occurs, felt meanings begin to emerge. Subsequently we will attend to the body’s need for carrying on its living process, whether through motion, breath, postural adjustment, or re-orientation, and connect with fresh meanings.
This Roundtable will explore how Focusing and Gendlin’s philosophy of the implicit can open up a space for a different kind of understanding and experience of our relationship with nature and the environment.

On ne se forme pas à Être, on y revient par soi-même. Ce parcours est un processus progressif, psychocorporel, dans la transformation organique et la croissance mutuelle. Le processus de la présence ne s’active pas par les biais habituels du mental, du savoir et du vouloir. Il est permis par la qualité de notre relation à notre organisme dans son ensemble et par le grandissement de la conscience de soi, qui se découvre, s’installe et grandie singulièrement au fur et à mesure. Ainsi les parcours proposent des rendez-vous pratiques hebdomadaires toute l’année. Ceci permet d’accompagner le processus progressif, d’instaurer une routine vertueuse dans votre agenda, d’entretenir et d’approfondir votre pratique.
