Outreach

"I like the step by step learning approach. ... I’m really into Focusing and will continue with the levels as I can afford it. ...I appreciate the joy and humor and clarity you bring to the groups and how you put everyone at ease and are tuned in.”
– Lenore Schuh, social worker, Oakland, CA

“I am here in Buenos Aires, Argentina and I have had the privilege of participating of Ann Weiser Cornell’s day-long workshop. I was so excited that I almost couldn't sleep last night, because something opened in my undestanding and Gendlin’s key concept of implying all of a sudden made sense. I felt the fundamental difference between the closed-ness of our forever taught ‘unit model’ and the fascinating openness of Gendlin‘s ‘process model’ explained yesterday by Ann.”
– Marlene Spindler, Focusing teacher, Buenos Aires, Argentina

“It’s your style, your sensitivity where everyone is, that makes it safe to do what we do. You’re a great instructor. You have a great deal of insight, patience, and talent.”
– JW
