ABOUT THE PROGRAM:
Embracing Human Diversity: Community Empowerment -- Connecting Across Difference Through Focusing
Saying that these are unprecedented times doesn’t begin to express the profound uncertainty, polarization, and fracturing we are living through both personally and communally. As focusers, we believe that Focusing is a vital ingredient of forward movement, so powerful that it can work to heal the fractures, connecting us with ourselves and the life force that unites and empowers us.
This is a workshop exploring the attitudes and skills that can enable us to stretch our capacity to embrace otherness and difference, expanding our imagination to encompass “the large US.” We will tap into what individual and community connectedness can look like.

Feel free to INVITE friends and colleagues. While NY Metro Focusing meetings are not introductions to Focusing, we hope newcomers will get a little taste of the Focusing experience and become motivated to learn more by taking an Introduction to Focusing workshop.
