Mar 1 | Apr 19 | May 3 | June 7

Cost is $180 for the series

As taught by psychologist and philosopher Eugene Gendlin, Focusing is a gentle, compassionate and non-judgmental way of listening to our own inner experience and listening to others. It is a special kind of awareness, different from our everyday awareness, that emerges when we pause, become present to the moment and attune to the body’s sensations with gentleness and curiosity.

You will learn how to connect with the felt sense, approach issues with friendliness and compassion and develop new skills as a listener. You may explore how you might use this process to make change in your life, find what is truly alive for you, relieve stress, develop more empathy for yourself and others, or touch into the spiritual dimension of your life.

There will be experiential exercises and didactic material in each session. The class will offer time for practice, demonstration, discussion and learning from one another.
