For those who would like to stay part of the Learning Community beyond two years, the beat goes on! We will have twenty monthly 1.5 hour gatherings. The schedule will vary a bit each year. Currently these gatherings will be on monthly on first Sunday mornings and third Monday evenings Eastern New York time. These will be recorded in most cases. 

We gather here to receive support and to provide support to others as we continue exploring our edges in holding space for and guiding change within ourselves, others and the world around us. 

All gatherings will be facilitated by me or Marki Webber on zoom. Following up on our format from the 1st year, community members are again encouraged to bring case studies, to offer 45-90 min workshops to practice teaching something you’ve learned/explored outside of our class and also to bring topics for small group Focusing/felt sense sharing. Once a year, we'll schedule a Changes style format. Changes groups were developed by Gendlin and other early Trainers both to make Focusing practice easily accessible and to introduce new people. (Note Learn Focusing Trainer, Barbara Dickinson, offers Exploring Interaction Changes meetings once a month on Sundays HERE.) 

We will have a few Guests Presenters each year. It looks like Bruce Nayowith will become a regular. He has explored many other modalities that glove well with Focusing and will help us understand both the essence and limitations of Focusing. Marki is also trained in several other modalities and will particularly bring Family Constellations to give us more depth in exploring cultural and intergenerational trauma. 

I am excited about the unique life skills you each bring with you to our space. I am honored to be a companion and fellow traveler with you all. Cheers for the beginners mind of self-in-presence and for having fun together in the process!

Registration lasting for 1 year opens each September and January.

If you are new here, please contact me to schedule a 30 min free chat. We can sense into whether this is a good fit. Plus, the more I understand what you are looking for, the more likely you'll find it here. :-)
