EMBRACING THE WHOLE,  WELCOMING THE NEW!
EXPLORATIONS IN COMMUNITY


​Special notice:

In the seventy-five meetings that NY Metro Focusing held between February 2008 and September 2020, we focused and learned together, and we developed and offered contributions to the Focusing world in our area and beyond. 

This site offers ongoing access to the substantive notes and ideas that grew out of our work. It also memorializes our existence, our purpose, and our values, which we hope will serve as an inspiration in some way in the future.
 
During the Covid-19 pandemic, in-person meetings were suspended and ensuing changes in the Focusing landscape offered many new and diverse opportunities for connecting and sharing. Hence, NYMF is no longer meeting, and the underlying structures have been dismantled. What you see here is an archived portion of our former website.

We refer you to the International Focusing Institute for additional resources. It is the international certifying body and the central hub for all teachers and resources. It has a comprehensive library of Eugene Gendlin's writings, a calendar and much more.   ​

There Is No Other Group Like It!

We are a community of individuals from many walks of life who share one thing in common:

A thirst for discovering more about ourselves and our potential through the practice of Focusing.

Focusing is an easily acquired skill that allows us to access our inner wisdom and creativity by listening deeply, attentively and respectfully to our body-centered 'felt senses.'  (What is Focusing)

Our mission is to embody and carry forward the practice of Focusing and the philosophy that supports it.  We offer our members ongoing opportunities to connect, share, and grow in their appreciation and practice of Focusing.  We welcome newcomers and help engender a thriving and visible presence for the practice of Focusing in the New York Metropolitan area. 

We gather at regular intervals throughout the year to learn and to share.  Our meetings offer an opportunity to engage in a felt sensing, interactive exploration of topics of interest - slowing down, listening from a felt sensing place, and letting what we hear resonate within to bring something new and fresh, both within ourselves and within the group.

Whether you're new to Focusing or an experienced Focuser,
                                                             
                                                                  WELCOME !

We hope you'll spend some time here and discover what we have to offer . . . . .
