PROGRAM
NEW YORK METRO FOCUSING
Sunday, December 2, 2018
NY Metro Focusing meetings offer an opportunity to engage in a felt sensing, interactive exploration of topics of interest. We value diversity and welcome everyone’s voice. Our conversational process encourages 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.
MEETING PROGRAM
Living Your Uniqueness: Speaking and Acting from Your Felt Sense
The implicit intricacy is really different in each person. Each person is a completely different take on the universe. (Eugene Gendlin)
We will spend the evening with the ideas of Eugene Gendlin as our guide in finding our way to our own voice. We will explore these ideas and what they may open for us. We will have a chance to focus on what is stirred within us and to sense if something more needs to come.
4:30 Registration and Networking with Light Refreshments
