Explore Your Inner Landscape: A Focusing Journey of Self-Discovery
14th October 2026 - 28th October 2026
Workshop/Event
An online series designed for both beginners and experienced practitioners
If you are curious about personal growth and ready to know yourself at a deeper level, this online workshop series is for you. Together, we will explore our inner landscapes through the gentle practice of Focusing, supported by group discussions, exercises, and Focusing partnerships.
Your Companion Journal
To support your reflections during and between our sessions, you will receive a downloadable 15-page journal to serve as a lasting reminder of your journey. There are spaces for personal notes to capture your reflections and insights, simple, jargon-free explanations of core Focusing ideas, and resource suggestions to support and further your learning.
Three 2-Hour Workshops: October 14th, 21st, and 28th | 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Something rich opens up when we move our attention beneath everyday thoughts and feelings into the bodily landscape. Deep wisdom is held within the body; you can feel this quality in the moments when an inner experience takes on a physical presence. That tight grip of fear in your chest; the heavy feeling of dread in your stomach; a sudden, spacious lightness when you have expressed something important and feel truly heard, acknowledged, and accepted. In Focusing, we call this physical resonance the “felt sense.”
The Three Workshops
Your Inner Landscape: Today we begin our journey, venturing into vague and unknown territory. A Focusing attunement and a guided meditation help you to feel inwardly safe and grounded. We travel far and wide, taking in the scenery and pausing at areas of interest. Afterwards, there is time to explore further with Focusing and Companioning. For those familiar with Focusing, this can be a regular session. If you are new to Focusing or would like some guidance, there will be an explanation and introductory Focusing exercise.
Your Physical Landscape: Today we return to the physical realm with a Wholebody Focusing meditation. Wholebody Focusing invites awareness of our whole self, supported by the environment. There is opportunity to explore your connection with the environment and to see what happens when you express yourself freely with movement and sound, always honouring your own needs and level of comfort. There will also be time for Focusing and Companioning.
Your Emotional Landscape: Today we travel into emotional realms to explore this rich area of your inner landscape. Emotions can feel like a storm that we either get swept up in or try to push away. Self-in-Presence is a safe and gentle way of being with our emotions. It creates an inner relationship where all feelings are welcomed just as they are, allowing intense emotions to naturally soften and shift. Later today, we come to an ending, with time to honour the ground that you have covered.
What You Will Gain
This series of workshops moves beyond familiar thoughts and feelings, allowing for deeper self-awareness, and fresh insights. You may come across physical and emotional areas that have been hidden and need your time and attention. There is opportunity for physical and emotional stuckness to be expressed, acknowledged, and released.
An introduction to grounding practices which can be used in everyday life, enabling you to remain steadier and calmer when faced with intense emotions and challenging situations.
Working with movement and sound, empowering you to experiment at your own pace and level of comfort.
Approaching your emotional world with gentle curiosity and compassion
Working with various Focusing concepts and practices including: the felt sense, Wholebody Focusing, Inner Relationship Focusing, Self-in-Presence, gentle curiosity, and Focusing and Companioning.
The Group Experience
This series is an invitation to connect with others. While each of us walks a unique path of self-discovery, we do not walk it alone. Time will be set aside for sharing individual experiences and Focusing in pairs.
Confidentiality
To ensure everyone feels safe to speak openly, no recordings will be made and everything shared is kept strictly confidential.
Focusing and Companioning
You will have opportunities to practice together to deepen your own self-awareness while offering non-judgmental companionship. If you are an experienced Focuser, you can treat this as a regular session. If you are new or returning to the practice, I will guide you through the basics.
