Inner Relationship Focusing Levels 2-4

Level 2: Accompanying the Inner Relationship

Would You Like to Deepen Your Contact with Yourself and Be a Better Listener Too?

In Level Two you'll be learning more about the “edge,” that place where what is unclear becomes clear, and how that is the key to transformation. You’ll learn more about Presence, the ability to be with anything that arises. And you'll learn more about the relationship between the two, how Presence helps the "edge" form, and how Focusing allows us to access wisdom that is so holistic, it's as if the problem knows how to solve itself!

As a Focusing partner, you’ll learn how to help your partner stay at the “edge” of awareness, where the possibility of true transformation lies.

You’ll learn how to support your partner in being in Presence. You’ll learn other “advanced listening” techniques so you can smoothly support without simply repeating. And you’ll learn a Leading In process that helps your partner start the session.

Level 3: Supporting the Inner Relationship

Would You Like to Get the "Deep Structure" of Focusing and Learn to Use Facilitative Language as Well?

In Level Three you’ll be learning more options for each stage of the Focusing process: more ways of starting, more ways of deepening your connection. You’ll learn some very specific and powerful ways to go beyond just “being with it,” including the remarkable “not-wanting and wanting” process first developed in Treasure Maps to the Soul. And you’ll fine tune your intuition about when a felt sense needs more time and when it needs an invitation.

As a Focusing partner, you’ll learn a model for the typical “shape” of a Focusing session, our famous “bottle.” This will let you know what stage the process is in, and what kind of invitation would be most supportive at that stage.

You will learn carefully crafted language that supports you in supporting your partner, and you will also learn how to craft your own guiding (reminding) phrases.

Inner Relationship Focusing
Advanced Practicum

• Do you want more confidence using the language of reminding from Level 3 (and 4)?
• Are you frustrated because your partners never need help so you don't get to practice helping?
• Would you like to be able to have Focusing with you at every moment of your life?

We've created an Advanced Practicum just for you ....

This highly interactive group coaching experience enables you to feel confident and solid with the skills of Level 3 so you can move into Level 4 ready for the more complex skills of that Level. We created this Practicum (taught by Lucinda Hayden) recently because the feedback from our students showed us that this was the most powerful way to increase long-term grasp of the skills, including the facilitative language.

Three Classes, 1 1/2 hours

In just three classes of 1 1/2 hours each, Lucinda will be able to show you through role play and coaching how to use facilitative language in dozens of situations, including Focusers who feel too much, who feel nothing, who get lost, who have two felt senses at once, who get images, and more!

Open to Anyone in Level 3 or Later

The ideal time to take the Advanced Practicum is after Level 3, but you can take it any time after Level 3 or 4, even concurrently with Level 3.

For the next dates and further information on registration click here.

You will learn carefully crafted language that supports you in supporting your partner, and you will also learn how to craft your own guiding (reminding) phrases.

Level 4: Facilitating the Inner Relationship

Is Focusing Woven Into Your Life at a Deep Level? In Level Four, Focusing becomes even more integrated into your life, how you are with yourself, how you are with others. Focusing Level Four invites us to return to the essence of the Focusing process, to the simplicity beneath the complexity. We discover that we can let go of “rules” and stay true to what is essential.

In Level Four we learn and practice ways to be present for a partner who feels not much... or too much. We learn how to facilitate Focusing through all kinds of blocks: inner critics, doubts, sleepiness, distractions. As we learn how to be present for this in our partners, we also learn how to deepen the process for ourselves.

Levels Two, Three, and Four are each taught as two-day workshops and also as a five-week telecourses. The levels must be taken in order – Level 1 is the prerequisite for Level 2, Level 2 is the prerequisite for Level 3, and Level 3 is the prerequisite for Level 4.

Ongoing Support Group Beyond Level 4

Do you want more connection and support after completing Level Four?

We created this phone group exactly for that, people who want a way to stay connected with each other (and with Ann Weiser Cornell) after Level Four is over.

We start each meeting with a check-in -- a short Focusing attunement. Depending on what is wanted, Ann might work with several people one-to-one -- everyone can listen in and "Focus along" -- or do one session and discuss in-depth some interesting Focusing topic. There's an opportunity to share, make requests, and ask questions relevant to Focusing and partnership practice.

Participants may want to schedule paired practice with a partner right after the class, to make it a whole Focusing evening.

The group is open to anyone who has completed at least Level 4 of the Learning Focusing series.

Although the group is ongoing, we just ask you to commit to a series of five meetings at a time.

The cost for one series is $95... a price set low so you'll find it easy to keep going.

You can register now using our secure on-line store, or call 510-666-9948.
