Is Focusing a Spiritual Practice (and does it matter if it is or isn't)?
A Focusing Exploration led by Susan Rudnick and Ruth Rosenblum
What happens in Focusing that some people seem to touch into and experience as a spiritual moment? What is a spiritual moment? What is it about the idea of spirituality that attracts or repels you? In this workshop we create a Focusing space from which to ask questions about the essence of the Focusing process and how that touches and illuminates the ultimate questions that spiritual practices work with.
Ruth Rosenblum, LCSW, is a psychotherapist, clinical supervisor and meditation teacher in Westchester County, N.Y. She is aFocusing Coordinator, a faculty member of the Focusing Oriented Relational Psychotherapy (FORP) program, and co-founder of the Westchester Changes Group. She is a graduate of the Institute for Jewish Spirituality's Meditation Teacher Training and Rabbi Shefa Gold's Kol Zimra, a two-year leadership training program in Hebrew Chant and Jewish spiritual practices. She has also completed NYU's Post Master's certification Program in Spirituality and Social Work. In addition to her private practice and Focusing teaching, Ruth leads meditation and chant groups for Westchester Jewish Community Services's Spiritual Healing Center and created KUMI ORI: Sunday Morning Awakening, a monthly contemplative program. For years, she has loved exploring the crossings of Focusing, Spirituality and Relational Psychotherapy.
Susan Rudnick, LCSW, a Focusing Oriented Therapist, and long time Zen practitioner, has been deeply involved in understanding the interface of her spiritual practice and work as a psychotherapist. Her most recent publications include the chapter “Coming Home to Wholeness”, in Into the Mountain Stream: Psychotherapy and Buddhist Experience., Cooper, Paul C. ed. and,” Unnamable and Unnamed: A Personal Reflection on Diagnosis,” which appears on the Psychology Today Website, 7/29/10. Susan teaches and supervises for the FORP (Focusing Oriented Relational Psychotherapy) program in New York and South Africa, and has been a psychotherapist in private practice for the past thirty years in Manhattan, and more recently Westchester NY. She is currently at work on a memoir.
