Eastern Time
An empathy circle, practiced in a Focusing way, is a regular Focusing exchange, held by the entire group. As such, there is a Focuser, a listener, and the remaining participants act as observers/witnesses. After the Focusing, each are invited to offer an empathic reflection to the Focuser.

Gendlin valued Clearing a Space very highly. How about you? Is Clearing a Space (CAS) a standard part of your own Focusing practice, or your teaching of Focusing? Or have you replaced it with something else – maybe an attunement? Join us to share what place CAS has in your Focusing practice – is it essential, optional, irrelevant or something else?

As these uncertain times continue to challenge us in unprecedented ways, our need for connection and emotional support is greater than ever.
This is a 30-minute free webinar (with Ann Weiser Cornell) with warm, positive tips for emotional self-care no matter what you're going through. Each month is different as Ann responds to the present moment and whatever the group is bringing.
Our hope is that you’ll leave the webinar with a greater sense of resilience and some relief from the stressful feelings you might be having. And that you’ll know you are not alone.

La lecture c'est une respiration, une pause à l'ouverture d'une autre dimension; notre intériorité. Et dans un même temps, c'est le lieu de l'imaginaire, des ressentis, des émotions là où l'on vit de manière intense. Livre fondateur de la méthode, le livre d'E. Gendlin continue d'être une ressource pour chacun, praticiens ou débutants. Je vous propose une revisite de nos connaissances en se laissant surprendre par un mot, s'étonner sur une phrase, et cheminer.

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.
50% off December 1 to 8, 2025

Aging brings both challenges and opportunities, but it doesn’t have to feel like it’s all downhill from here. In fact, this chapter of life can be one of growth, connection, and newfound purpose.
You can develop a positive outlook on the future (and know how to be kinder to yourself when you can’t do that). Join us and get tools, wisdom, and support for every stage of the aging journey.

What did Gendlin mean when he said that our main job as helpers is to "Be the interaction that makes it better"?
In this workshop, Charlotte will explore the interaction that carries someone forward and facilitates the little steps of change in both the person and in the dyad.

Easter Time (New York)
People are different. For some people, it is quite natural to identify a felt sense in their body. For others, this feels very daunting. Being asked to do so creates a vicious cycle, similar to what happens when you tell a tense person to “just relax.”
In this 90-minute experiential workshop, we explore how to get to an embodied therapy process by meeting the client where they are.
