​...One begins without understanding the parts or the whole very well. Only the whole gives the parts their roles and meanings. But of course we arrive at an understanding of the whole only part by part. A better grasp of any part can change the sense of the whole.... The meaning of the parts is not fixed; they must grow in meaning. 
Eugene Gendlin, "The Responsive Order: A New Empiricism", 1997 (referring in part to the work of  Wilhem Dilthey, 1833-1911) 

This concludes our five-part series, Engaging With Eugene Gendlin's Words and Ideas. We'll be rolling out some highlights from our previous sessions and inviting ourselves to assimilate them as a whole. You will be free to process whatever comes in whichever way seems right for you: silently, vocally, in stillness, in movement - interacting respectfully in the serenity of our venue. Whether or not you have participated in the previous sessions, the evening will be enriched by your presence! 
​
​Facilitated by Larry Hurst, a NYC-based Focusing trainer and workshop leader and a co-founder of New York Metro Focusing.

ABOUT THE THEME of our 2018-2019 programs, 
Engaging with Eugene Gendlin's Words and Ideas

Spending time with Gene's words expresses our deep appreciation and a desire to be closer to, understand and integrate more of what he has given to us into our lives. Each program of the series can stand alone, and the season as a whole may bring us on a journey of deeper understanding.  Please join us for some or all!
