Focusing Workshop ~

Looking for answers? Sometimes they're as close as your intention. Place your Focus in the center of your body. Pay attention to how it feels and connect with that feeling. This is the intersection of mind and body - a place where you can be sure is truth, where truth is held. This is the foundation of Focusing, an experiential method of realizing the truth that you hold within yourself. It was developed in the 1960's by Eugene Gendlin, who came to understand that each individual possesses an inner strength and potential to move forward based in the deep knowing they themselves hold within their own body.
