Weekly live meetings - In meeting format on Zoom, Rob will offer a main meeting which will include reading and time for questions and discussion. In general Rob will try to keep to 90 minutes each week, but plan for 2 hours. (After the reading time, Rob will often continue an informal discussion - "the parking lot", which allows more unstructured time for questions. Information covered in "the parking lot" will be recorded but is not meant to be part of the official content and if you are listening to recordings only, "the parking lot" will be clearly delineated.)

Audio recordings - This offering will include downloadable audio (not video) recordings of Rob’s weekly meetings for all registrants. Audio recordings will be made available as soon as possible after each session for download prior to the next session.

Discussion groups - See below for current groups and how to offer one.

CURRENT OFFERINGS - Rob's invited discussion group leaders (Teaching Assistants who also meet with Rob weekly)

  • Discussion group led by: Ali Lufkin - group up to 10 people
    When: Fridays at 7AM-8AM Pacific time zone 
    (10am Eastern time / 16:00 CET)
    How to sign up: Email [email protected]
    About me: I am a recent transplant to the Oregon Coast, married with two adult daughters, a potter, an episcopal priest, a lover of questions and ‘inarticulating’ (see my website, www.inarticulating.com). I became certified as a Focusing Professional in 2012. At some point, it became important to me to understand who Gene was and what it was that led him to create Focusing. Focusing was life changing, yet I had the sense that there was more to it, and I wanted that ‘more’. My adventure with A Process Model began. I am grateful to Rob for being a rugged, patient, enthusiastic and kind sherpa, deeply familiar with the mountain terrain, yet ever alert to new sightings. I look forward to stretching my learning of APM through facilitating discussion together. Read more
     
  • Discussion group led by: Christopher Ash - group up to 20 people
    When: Saturdays at 8AM-9AM Sydney, Australia time zone
    (Fridays 4pm Eastern until clock changes in March / 22:00 CET until clocks change)
    How to sign up: Email [email protected]
    About me: In the mid-to-late nineties, I began to study Gene Gendlin’s Focusing, with Nada Lou and Bev Stevenson here in Australia. I then trained with Ann Weiser Cornell, qualifying as a Focusing Trainer in 2003. Somewhere in the middle of the first decade of this century, I heard Gene Gendlin, in a teleconference with Rob Parker. The topic was: “The body, Not Perception.” Gene’s explication of this – that the body is primary, not perception – caused a big shift in my experience of myself. In 2007 I presented at the University of East Anglia’s Colloquium on "A Process Model”. In January 2010, I began studying A Process Model with Rob, and I have continued to do so, ever since.

  • Discussion group led by: Stephen Johnston - group of about 8 people
    When: Mondays at 4:30PM-5:30PM UK time
    (11:30am Eastern time)
    How to sign up: Email [email protected] (please put "APM 23” in the subject line)
    About me: I have been studying A Process Model with Rob through the last 3 years or so. Doing that has really opened this and Gendlin’s other work for me. I look forward to that process continuing within this group. Over the longer term my primary experience is in the visual arts and physical therapy fields.
     
  • Discussion group led by: Vivian Hung - group of about 8 people
    When: Wednesdays at 4PM-5PM China time
    (9am CET until clocks change)
    How to sign up: Email [email protected]
    About me: I became a counselor in China about 10 years ago, before that I worked in different companies for longer than 20 years. Because my earlier experiences taught me that body talks in its own way, my interest is mainly in body and language. Focusing came in late in my learning of various psychology approaches, but it struck me immediately. When I started wanting to know more about the underlying philosophy of Focusing after years of learning it, I found Rob. He has Gene’s soul with and in him. Learning A Process Model is never easy, but he is always so encouraging to any questions. As long as it’s a question about Gene’s philosophy, Rob will do his best to explore and answer. Being invited to be a TA is a great honor to me, I think my way of working with the group is more about asking questions together.

    When:  Thursdays at 2PM-3PM, New York Time
    (20:00 CET / 6am Fridays in Sydney Australia until clocks change)
    How to sign up: Email [email protected] 
    About me: In addition to being a Focusing Trainer and counsellor, I teach counselling and adult learning at The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). I started studying A Process Model on my own in 2015, after having attended several of Gendlin's philosophy classes with Ann W. Cornell, and I've been studying with Rob since 2020. Read more

    (7am Eastern until clocks change / 13:00 CET)
    How to sign up: Email [email protected]
    About me: Harvey started studying A Process Model with Rob since 2018. After training from Inner-relationship Focusing and Whole-body Focusing as Focusing Trainer and Focusing-oriented Therapist respectively, the learning from APM enriched my knowing of Focusing and Life. For this group, I look forward to learning from each other through a felt sensing discussion.
    About me: I am Brian, an inner relationship and children focusing trainer, whole body focusing oriented therapist. I have been studying A Process Model with Rob since 2018. I am interested in forming a study group to explore the richness of APM and opening our way of sensing into the world around us through felt-sensing.
