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.
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.
PART 2 is about deepening into the Focusing and Listening process by looking more at the role of the Companion. A companion to ourselves as well as others. I introduce neuroscience here. We develop further our personal concept of creating an inner space that welcomes it all and adapting that space as we follow our process. Requires some previous partnership experience.
Class meets six times on Tuesdays 7-9pm EST beginning September 3.
Is there something that you’d like to do or write about but you lack the confidence to begin? TAE 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 TAE, you delve into your own experience so that your new direction 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.
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

We strive to offer our patients an ongoing relationship of safety, depth and understanding through the original embodiment process called Experiential Focusing. Why not create this for ourselves too?
This course trains you to deepen and integrate your conceptual and experiential understanding of the process of change at several levels. One level is to integrate what happens clinically with clients and what it brings up for you personally. Our exploration straddles personal process and supervision, based on the idea that what we encounter with our clients is a rich source of personal and professional growth. Another level is integrating this deeply personal process with conceptual learning about Focusing as the DNA of Change.

This series is designed to encourage us to live Gendlin's concept of "crossing" in a supportive community setting. This community is for those who often find themselves in situations of facilitating change for others, individuals and groups. It’s a great option for those who are looking for a community-based path toward certification, for those who do not need certification, and also works well if you are already certified.
This Learning Community is a year-long program meeting twenty times every other week for 1.5 hours. This course/community is a lovely supportive space to continue learning with other advanced Focusers or to pursue certification at your own pace as a Focusing Professional or Trainer with TIFI.
Un parcours en ligne de 3 mois accessible à toutes et tous pour s’imprégner des fondements du Focusing, en étant à la fois écouté et écoutant. C’est un voyage à l’écoute de soi et de l’autre.
