Les rêves fascinent depuis la nuit des temps, ils sont mystérieux, messagers, et parfois nous laissent une sensation étrange au réveil. Dans une vidéo en ligne intitulée Dream open doors to focusing (les rêves ouvrent les portes du focusing), Gendlin dit qu’une manière d’apprendre le focusing consiste de partir des rêves, car chaque rêve vous donne un ou plusieurs sentiment bizarres”.

In this course you’ll continue to grow in your Focusing and Companioning skills - dealing with the super power of empathy, inner critics, feelings about feelings, recognizing close and distant processes, sensing what a part is not wanting, and more!

Ann Weiser Cornell
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.

22 weekly meetings on Mondays
Audio recordings available after each live meeting

Rob Parker will lead the group in weekly meetings reading the book together and pausing for questions and discussion. This offering covers approximately one third of the book, and the next segment will continue in October 2024. We estimate completing the book in three segments finishing up in Fall 2025.

Experiencing and the Creation of Meaning takes us on a profound exploration to the edge of awareness where our symboled world (attention, meaning, and language) arises from experiencing, where we discover ourselves and the world as a single creative experiencing, without the mind-body, subject-object dualisms that have characterized Western thinking. This changes how we

Yehudit First
Social Oriented Focusing (SOF) is an organic, authentic, somatic way to be fully present, connected to ourselves, while interacting with others. We seek to identify the felt sense created within the mutual interaction occurring in the here and now, enabling a transformative process to take place within the mutual interpersonal space.
SOF teaches us to untie The KNOTS and NOTS that interfere with relating to others, enabling us to overcome blocks, fears, and automatic behaviors.
For therapists, coaches, and anyone interested in feeling free to be their authentic selves in their relationships. SOF Foundation Course Level 1 meets 8 times weekly for 2.5 hours. This class meets Thursdays 11:00 am – 13:30 pm ET New York time or your equivalent.
