This course is designed to guide participants in cultivating the art of deep listening and developing the skills of direct experiencing, inspired by practices like Eugene Gendlin’s Focusing. Through a blend of experiential exercises, reflective practices, and group dialogue, participants will learn to attune to their inner experience with curiosity and compassion, fostering greater emotional clarity and self-awareness.

What You’ll Learn:

• How to identify and work with the “felt sense”—a bodily awareness of complex emotions, thoughts, or situations—through the Focusing process.
• Practical techniques to pause, notice, and engage with inner experiences in a way that promotes healing and insight.
• Strategies to navigate emotional challenges and cultivate resilience through mindful and embodied awareness.
• The role of experiencing in personal growth, interpersonal relationships, and creative problem-solving.
