Focusing Highlights is a series of interactive, online pay-what-you-can classes.
How can we use the Focusing process to encourage a long-desired change, to give up a habit and develop a new one, or to make a difficult decision?
In this Highlight webinar, Amona will guide participants to experiment with some action-step inviting practices which you can use as both Focuser or Companion.
All are welcome to attend. Some experience with Focusing will be helpful but is not required.
Participants will use the exploratory process of Relational Wholebody Felt Sensing to develop their own implicit relational body knowing as an important tool for safety and connection with the Client. We will meet on a zoom internet platform, twice monthly, to deepen our theoretical and experiential understanding of Relational Wholebody Focusing Oriented Therapy
This free online conversation is Part of the Focusing Roundtable series especially for TIFI members.
Joanna Macy’s Work-That-Reconnects (“the Work”) provides both a model for the current unraveling of social and ecological systems and an experiential group process for transforming the difficult feelings arising from this unraveling. This workshop will explore how Focusing and the Work might complement each other. It will include some conceptual framing of the Work, breakout exercises, and group harvesting.

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!
Are you stressed about your feelings around the US election? A lot of people are. It’s the most momentous election in living memory, and there is so much that could go wrong. Even if you’re doing everything you can, you might still be feeling tense and anxious to the point of distraction and sleeplessness.
Meeting the challenges of this unprecedented time will require all of us to be as calm, alert, and wise as we can possibly be.
We’d like to help. In this 30-minute free webinar, Ann Weiser Cornell and Barbara McGavin, creators of Inner Relationship Focusing, will offer their supportive and compassionate presence, including tips for navigating stressful emotions in extreme times.

During the last 4 years of Gendlin's life, Dave Young had weekly conversations with Gene that started with this question: “So what’s alive in you?” The talks took place at the initiative of TIFI who asked David Young to conduct and transcribe conversations with Gendlin with the intent that they would be published.
In this 4-session series, we will meet each time for 90 minutes to read closely some of these "conversations", and to look into the new ideas embedded in them. More importantly, we will identify the subtle steps a great philosopher takes whilst slowly
Are you stressed about the upcoming US election on November 3? A lot of people are. It’s the most momentous election in living memory, and there is so much that could go wrong. Even if you’re doing everything you can, you might still be feeling tense and anxious to the point of distraction and sleeplessness.

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 will be given to each participant as well as assigned partnerships for each of the 4 class dates. The cost is based on a sliding scale principle, normally $175, but interested individuals who cannot afford that amount should still apply. Please email or call Amaryn for more information. See more details.
Focusing ist ein von Eugene Gendlin entwickelter, schlichter Prozess, der uns darin unterstützt, die uns innewohnenden Quellen reichen Wissens zu erschließen. Indem wir uns mit einem offenen urteilsfreien Gewahrsein dem körperlichen Erleben zuwenden und damit vertraut werden, kann sich der darin wohnende Wandlungsraum öffnen.
Jede/r kann diese nach Innen gerichtete ganzheitliche Aufmerksamkeit lernen und so eine neue Selbstwirksamkeit im Leben entdecken. In dieser Haltung können wir auch andere kompetent darin begleiten, innere Bewegungen zu erspüren und seelischen Prozessen dahinter Raum geben. Das hilft Blockaden zu lösen, wirkt heilsam und erlaubt uns, eine neue Form der Intimität in uns selbst, mit anderen und dem ganzen Leben zu entdecken.
This free online conversation is Part of the Focusing Roundtable series especially for TIFI members.
Using brief Gendlin quotes, this Roundtable will help us develop an explicit structural political consciousness. The goal of our hosts is to increase awareness of the political context in which we live, and to make sure our Focusing work is truly expressing our values as well as our needs.
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.

An interactive experiential introduction to Focusing. Using some whole group interactive activities and some breakout groups we will practice one or more ways of connecting to a felt sense and bringing the Focusing attitude to the process of listening to whatever most wants to be known. No prior experience with Focusing is required.
The Focusing Basics Program designed and taught by Ruth Hirsch, an internationally recognized trainer with over 25 years experience teaching Focusing, this program is equivalent to Levels 1 and 2. The training includes 8 weekly class sessions, an introductory 1-1 Guided Focusing Session with the Trainer, a 136 page Manual, homework partnerships and email support between classes.
During these times when the world and our place in it might feel uncertain, Focusing offers you a straight-forward way to find inner peace and meaning through connecting more deeply with yourself and each other.
With ample personal attention in a small group setting (maximum 8 participants), you’ll gain a fundamental understanding of Focusing. You'll also acquire the skills and
