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.

Thinking at the Edge (TAE) fertilizes your ideas by grounding them in your lived experience. For example:
Is there something that you'd like to do or write about but you lack the confidence to begin? Thinking at the Edge helps you sense into the "more" behind your ideas so that you can write and act from what you know.
Do you long to contribute to the world from the richness of the insights life has given you? With Thinking at the Edge, you delve into your own experience so that your new direction in life follows from of all you have lived.
Maybe you need clarity and next steps about a persistent problem or a complex issue. Thinking at the Edge helps you find the unique gifts within the challenges you face.

Are you faced with a changed world you never planned for?
It’s natural to be stunned by a loss, and unable to move forward.
It could be the loss of a person, or of a job, or of a whole way of life.
Big change, as well as big loss, can leave you feeling confused and anchorless.
How do you find your way when you’ve lost all your familiar landmarks? You still have a reliable guide. You have a place in you that knows your way forward, even if you’ve never been there before.
Navigating loss and change means learning how to trust your inner sense of rightness.
Hard as it is, a time of loss can be a huge teacher about how to trust yourself. Because no one else knows what you need to get through this time… and

Life is hard right now. Are your emotions making it even harder?
Most of us are feeling the weight of current events…We're trying to manage difficult emotions in challenging times. It isn't easy. Even when you know what to do to help your feelings (and so many of us don't).

You'll learn how to come back to calm when life is hard to handle.

Focusing is an approach to access your own bodily felt experience through deep listening in presence, openness, not-knowing, curiosity, interest and gentleness. It is a tool to be more coherent and connected to yourself and others and more present and grounded in your daily life. It is also an approach in your work as a therapist with your clients. If you offer an open space, without theoretical filter and therapeutic agenda, it will facilitate for your clients to feel safe and connected. Then the clients more easily could get access to their bodily felt experience, explore it, gain awareness and find words which facilitate growth.
The workshop is experience-based and we will work individually, in pair and in the group.

This free online conversation is Part of the Focusing Roundtable series especially for TIFI members.
Using brief Gendlin quotes, this Roundtable will help us develop an explicit structural political consciousness. The goal of our hosts is to increase awareness of the political context in which we live, and to make sure our Focusing work is truly expressing our values as well as our needs.

An online, interactive workshop facilitated by Serge Prengel. This offering will be held in meeting format so that all participants will see the presenter and each other.
In this workshop, we will be: Exploring the pause as an embodied shift from mindless to mindful; Paying attention to the embodied quality of this pause through a simple stretching exercise where we pay attention to our inner experience, our felt sense, as our muscles gently engage and our body realigns; Observing what it means to engage, moment by moment; Exploring the feeling of being at the edge of noticing as if we are an outside witness and being a dancer who is influencing the dance, the kind of experience for which we do not have words that readily fit. Sharing the experience in a Focusing

The Pause | It's on the corner of Now & Notice, where that old dive "Reaction" used to be. First cup of calm or shot of ease is on the house!
Metaphors aside, The Pause is a drop-in, live, online focusing-oriented meditation class. It's a welcoming place of support and nurture, a place where your nervous system can rest, and a place where you get to cultivate and practice tuning in and noticing what it’s like to be you with friendly presence.
No long term commitment is required. Come once and give it a try! If you like it, come back every time, a couple times a week, or just when you can.
Use coupon "cupofcalm" to try your first class for free.

Join us for the 50th Weeklong! We are celebrating the history of this flagship event, and the first 40 years of the Institute. The Weeklong began in Chicago in 1979, and for about 10 years, there were 2 every year. In good Focusing fashion, the exact truth is a bit murky. Therefore, we are simply proclaiming this one number 50!
In the early days, anyone who wanted to become certified by the Institute was required to attend a Weeklong. Now, the Weeklong is still a celebration of our international certification, but it is so much more.
The Weeklong is open to all Focusers who are certified or soon-to-be certified, and to advanced Focusers who have a substantial length and breadth of experience. Coordinators are especially invited to attend. One of the
