Introduction to Focusing
18th September 2025 - 9th October 2025 Zoom
Introductory Workshop/Event
Focusing is a process that can enrich all areas of our lives, as it is about the very way that we pay attention to what we experience. Often we have habitual ways of relating to ourselves, others and situations: Focusing can help us to slow down, listen inside and appreciate the subtleties in our experience. Developing the ability to listen to ourselves with compassion can help us to know what our needs are, make changes and respond differently in life. Being able to notice the richness of our internal and external lives can also make us feel more alive.
Focusing is a natural skill that anyone can develop and Focusing-listening partnerships are a brilliant way of improving wellbeing and supporting self exploration. Focusing can help us steer a calmer path through the fast driven ways of the modern world!
Introduction to Focusing – Thursdays 10am-1pm: 18th Sep, 25th Sep, 2nd Oct, 9th Oct 2025 (£160)
We will cover: What is Focusing? What is the felt sense? You will be introduced to the Focusing process and the particular way of Focusing Listening. We will explore the Focusing attitude and ‘clearing a space’. After the two days you should have the skills to enter a Focusing-Listening partnership.
Learning Focusing can help
- developing more of a connection with your body
- improving your relationship with yourself
- improving your self esteem
- supporting you with overwhelming emotions such as anxiety
- connecting with your intuition
The workshop will introduce what exactly Focusing is and cover different ways we can experience things, particularly how we can have a ‘felt sense’ of things and what that means. The workshop will be experiential and will include plenty of opportunity to practice the Focusing process in a supportive environment. There will also be time to explore the particular way of Focusing listening, as well as how Focusing can be used in day to day life. There is the option to complete a second workshop, then potentially four more weekend workshops which lead to a BFA Certificate in Focusing Skills. Once you have learnt this valuable process you can practice Focusing on your own or in a Focusing-listening partnership. Practicing Focusing can be a lifelong skill for self awareness and support.
