“Your body needs the rest. Once your body is allowed to be itself, un-cramped,

    it has the wisdom to deal with your problems.”    Eugene Gendlin

This residential Saturday to Monday retreat is open to anyone wishing to deepen their embodied experience of focusing and companioning. We will explore the following areas together:

• Letting the innate intelligence of the ‘whole body’ guide our focusing
• Inviting movement
• Welcoming silence
• Opening to a deeper felt connection between focuser and listener
• Focusing in nature
• Finding the fun in focusing!
• Practicing felt-sensing ‘on the hoof’ for self-care during the whole weekend

The programme will include focusing time in pairs or triads, optional movement before breakfast each morning and a long Sunday lunch break for walking or napping.
