Focusing One: Self in Presence

In the first year (5-weekend workshops) training program, you will learn and practice Focusing and how to bring Focusing deeply into your life and clinical practice. You will gain access to the rich inner wisdom that unfolds as you find Presence in your own life, and then how to facilitate a Focusing-Oriented approach to healing with others.  Those wanting to complete the full year program will need to commit to the next four workshops of the five workshop series.

understanding of neuroscience, philosophy, psychology, mythology, and native spirituality.

Focusing taps into the essence of changeFocusing evolved from research that has influenced much of the somatically-oriented, mindfulness-based work being done today. It has its roots in existential and phenomenological philosophy as well as client-centered and relational therapies. It is an experiential body-centered process that restores emotional regulation, promotes present awareness and fosters empathetic relatedness. Focusing is easily combinable with other clinical orientations and healing modalities and is itself a doorway into a grounded sense of spirituality and wellness.
