Focusing Roundtable: Felt-Sensing And Spacious Listening In Everyday Life
Noticing, Nurturing And Normalizing Felt-Sensed, Authentic Relationships Within Our Everyday Lives
This Roundtable will invite an interactive exploration of how we might live in a Focusing way within the “real world” of everyday life, especially in those circumstances where Focusing is not already an explicitly shared cultural value and/or practice. In particular, our discussion will center around two integral components of Focusing practice: felt-sensing and spacious listening.

This Roundtable will invite an interactive exploration of how we might live in a Focusing way within the “real world” of everyday life, especially in those circumstances where Focusing is not already an explicitly shared cultural value and/or practice. In particular, our discussion will center around two integral components of Focusing practice: felt-sensing and spacious listening.
Mary Elaine and Christina will briefly share instances from their own lived experiences and offer a few brief exercises to illustrate the power of pausing to invite freshness in conversations with others, create space for instances of “natural” felt-sensing to emerge and invite new possibilities that may arise from spacious listening.
