MODULE 1 - INTRODUCTION TO FOCUSING

A WAY IN...

Once you come into this literal body here then you find a space that is much bigger than your literal body. It's quite clear that's it is not exactly your literal body,

but that is where the entrance is

G. Gendlin

This is our first module. We come together as a group and begin exploring the Focusing principles, steps and process, individually, in pairs and as a group. And that's through the art of active awaiting, sensing inwards, engaging your bodily felt awareness and making sense of it. We explore “how” the body speaks and will practice felt companioning within and without. This introductory workshops serves as a gateway to deeper explorations of specific themes (Focusing Journeys) and is Module 1 of the Focusing Skills Training, a BFA-accredited program for personal and professional growth.
