NEW YORK METRO FOCUSING
Friday, December 2, 2011
MEETING PROGRAM
6:30 pm Registration and networking with light refreshments
6:45 pm Welcome, Group Attunement and Introduction: Anne Shollar
7:00 pm Passionate Thinking – Ideas that Bring Us to Life
A Focusing Conversation led by Jenny Ross and Lynn Preston
In this workshop we will rekindle, or perhaps experience for the first time, the inspiration of our heartfelt ideas and the open space of the world of creative thinking. Focusing helps us to feel our way into our thinking and think our way into our feelings. Bringing thinking into the body felt sense realm brings ideas to life and brings us to life in a new way. After preparing the ground with some introductory remarks, we will find the ideas that have been meaningful in our lives and articulate, expand, and enhance them through a focusing conversation.
Lynn Preston, a focusing oriented psychoanalyst for over 30 years, is the Director of the New York Focusing Oriented Relational Psychotherapy (FORP) program and Co-Director of the Cape Town (South Africa) Focusing Oriented Therapy (FOT) training program. She is also Co-Director of the New York Training and Research Institute for Self Psychology (TRISP) evening program. She is deeply involved with exploring the relationship between philosophy, theory, and practice.
Jenny Ross has been involved with Focusing for the past 15 years and has studied with Gene Gendlin, Robert Lee, and Lynn Preston. Jenny is a graduate of a four-year psychoanalytic training program at the National Institute for the Psychotherapies, which has an emphasis on self psychology. She has been in private practice for 25 years and was previously Director of Crisis Services for a downtown NYC hospital.
