NEW YORK METRO FOCUSING
Sunday, March 18, 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
Registration and networking with light refreshments
Welcome and Introduction -- Larry Hurst
Attunement -- Susan Deisroth
Recollection and Appreciation -- Cynthia Callsen
Overview of the Evening -- Naomi Glicken
Gallery Walk Introduction Followed by Gallery Walk -- Rachel Alexander
Guided Solo Focusing Followed by a Focusing Conversation - Larry Hurst
Creating Our Future Together - Marcella Calabi
Celebration Until 8 p.m. Departure
10th Anniversary Celebration
Creating our Future Together
The present faces in two directions. Strands from the past come together in this particular moment in time, and something occurs, out of that moment, into the future.
Focusing is a way of attending to that profound reality. What does that mean -- what is next? -- for New York Metro Focusing? What is next for you?
For a whole decade, our planners and facilitators have looked to understand and create opportunities for Focusing as a shared experience; in turn, through those experiences with all of our participants, NYMF has been continually becoming what it is. So now it makes perfect sense to do two things at once: celebrate this wonderful milestone and Focus to bring forth what is waiting to occur.
It doesn’t matter if you have attended any of our events before. Long-timers and newcomers alike: you are part of the spark. The shared space is not the same without you.
Tonight we will engage with a gallery of the topics and experiences of the more-than-fifty (!!!) past NYMF events. Responding to what we see, we will Focus individually and share in conversation collectively. This will not only show us the way forward: it is the way forward. For each of us and for NYMF, the becoming continues.

New York Metro Focusing Mission Statement
The mission of New York Metro Focusing is to embody and carry forward the practice of Focusing and the philosophy that supports it as developed in the work of Eugene Gendlin and others. By holding regularly scheduled meetings, NY Metro Focusing will offer members of this local geographic community ongoing opportunities to connect, share and grow in their appreciation and practice of Focusing. The group will welcome newcomers by offering them an opportunity to learn about the life-enhancing practice of Focusing. In this way, NY Metro Focusing will help to engender a thriving and visible presence for the practice of Focusing in the New York Metropolitan area.
We are interested in keeping the conversation going, both in person at future meetings and online. We invite you to share what might still be happening for you or what you might like to return to at a later point. Please write to contact@nymflists.com.
