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.

Ann Weiser Cornell
Life is hard right now. Are your emotions making it even harder?
Most of us are feeling the weight of current events…We're trying to manage difficult emotions in challenging times. It isn't easy. Even when you know what to do to help your feelings (and so many of us don't).

If you'd like to find a new way to respond to triggered emotions - one that brings relief (and not more pain), join me for my newest free video and email series, Living a Less Triggered Life.

You'll learn how to come back to calm when life is hard to handle.

An Invitation to Pause for Presence

“Out beyond ideas of wrong-doing and right-doing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there. And when our souls lie down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about” - Rumi

In challenging times like these, it feels increasingly important to take time to experience a dimension in us that is not touched and affected by what is going on around and within us. This inner dimension does not disconnect us emotionally from what is happening but it allows us to rest and resource ourselves so that we can stay open and be more fully present to Life.

Rumi's poem above is an invitation to rest in this dimension - sometimes called “the underlying field of living Presence"– a

Like Focusing, play is a way to discover our true selves, and connect with others in unexpected ways. In this webinar, we will explore what the intersection of mindful embodied attention and an improvisational attitude might look and feel like. We will blend Focusing with games and exercises adapted from the world of theatrical improvisation. Small group demonstrations will help illustrate this cross-pollination.

All are welcome to attend; no improvisation or Focusing experience is necessary.

Along the path Laura Vaccaro Amaryn
This is an introductory class to Focusing. The class is deliberately being kept small to ensure each participant ends with a complete understanding of the process and begins to experience the benefits of what Focusing can provide. Individual attention and sessions will be given to each participant by one or both teachers as well as assigned partnerships between most class dates. The cost is based on a sliding scale principle, normally $200, but interested individuals who cannot afford that amount should still apply.

The 4 dates are December 19 and 20, 2020, and January 23 and 30, 2021. Please email focusingandlistening@gmail.com for more information.

Holidays can bring much stress due to the weight of layers of expectations for ourselves and others. Focusing can help us to re-weave connections to ourselves just as we are and to develop a welcoming relationship with whatever is arising in us just as it is in each moment.

In this two hour interactive Focusing workshop, we will co-create a safe space to bring ourselves as we truly are in this moment and reconnect to the aliveness in us that wants to be experienced and expressed just the way it is.  There will be both whole group and small breakout group opportunities to connect and practice together.  Whole group and individual and small group practice will help to re-weave connection to our inner compass.

Qué es Focusing?

Es una forma de atención corporal que te permite ir más allá de los pensamientos , sentimientos y emociones conocidas, los mandatos, creencias y condicionamientos...para poder contactarte con lo más real y auténtico en vos y comenzar a dar esos pasos de cambio que hasta ahora no podías dar, contactarte con todo tu potencial y creatividad y llevar tu vida adelante.

Si ya sos un profesional en el ámbito de ayuda y querés profundizar en la escucha, en la exploración y en la congruencia tanto para tu ser profesional como para ofrecerlo a otros, estos encuentros también son para vos!
