NEW YORK METRO FOCUSING
Friday, June 7, 2019
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

6:30 Welcome - Susan Deisroth
Attunement – Jude Cobb
6:45 Program: The last in our series Engaging with Eugene Gendlin's Words & Ideas
Presenting the theme of the evening –Focusing in Motion: Carrying Forward the Gendlin Experience – Larry Hurst
Reading of Excerpt from Eugene Gendlin, "The Responsive Order: A New Empiricism,"
1997 – Planning Group Members
"...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)
