Focusing is a transformative process that stems from the philosophy of Eugene Gendlin. Gendlin believed that everything in life is constantly evolving and in motion, including ourselves. This understanding forms the foundation of focusing, which serves as a means of healing and personal growth. Focusing is a skill that anyone can acquire, allowing them to change their relationship with their inner experiences. By engaging in focusing, individuals learn to be present with themselves in a new and profound way. They come to realize that their experiences, no matter how challenging, do not define them. Rather, these experiences are merely sensations and emotions that can be acknowledged and embraced. Through focusing, individuals gain access to a deep sense of self-love and trust, cultivating

This is a learning community based on the ideas of Eugene Gendlin. Focusing will be the process that builds our community and deepens member's awareness of where they might be "stuck" in the process of working with their clients. Focusing is an embodied approach; it can also serve as a bridge to related ways of working such as relational psychotherapy.

Social Oriented Focusing (SOF) teaches us to untie the KNOTS and NOTS that interfere with relating to others, enabling us to overcome blocks, fears, and automatic behaviors.
In this workshop, Yehudit will teach one of the basic tools of SOF: From shades of aloneness to shades of togetherness. We will sense how situations affect us and our openness, creating knots and nots in our relationships. Together, we will experience and explore the different internal positions and shifts that can take us from feeling alone to really feeling together, while sensing the freedom to be our authentic selves.
There will be a presentation, guided experiences, and time for sharing and questions. All are welcome to attend. Some familiarity with Focusing will be helpful but is

Irish Standard Time/British Standard Time
Do you dread speaking in public? Not just giving talks, but even speaking up in meetings, or at networking events?
Or maybe you enjoy it, but still get very nervous?
Perhaps a part of you wants to speak up more.
But another part is terrified, and yet another is annoyed that you feel like this.
There are almost too many parts to keep track of, and each speaking occasion brings the same old smorgasbord of misery.
Wouldn't it be nice to work with your parts in a way that brings change? And wouldn't it be nice to learn some speaking skills to help you become more articulate and focused?
This course can help you with both.

W wielkiej rodzinie focusingowej szukamy spotkania słowiańskich dusz …nie przejmując się geografią ani kilometrami, które nas dzielą … Tak jak zawsze to spotkanie oczu i serc…w poszukiwaniu tego co chce się wyłonić, urodzić czy rozplątać…z chęcią znalezienia słów i sposobów wyrażenia „tego wszystkiego” co jeszcze niewypowiedziane, a tak żywo obecne .
