9/28/2014 Meeting Program
NEW YORK METRO FOCUSING
Sunday, September 28, 2014
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
4:30 pm Registration and networking with light refreshments
5:00 pm Welcome: Susan Deisroth
5:05 pm Community Announcements: Susan Deisroth
5:15 pm Introductions of the Evening’s Theme and its Facilitator: Naomi Glicken
Welcoming the Body’s Implicit Wisdom with Drumming, Focusing, and Movement
Coming to us from Boston, Lillian Sober-Ain, Drummer and Focusing-Oriented Therapist, will gently guide people into embodied, expressive, and powerful experiences in rhythm. These experiences will be explored in connection to our Focusing practice and conversation. This workshop will create a supportive drumming circle that interweaves Focusing with rhythmic movement and the playing of hoop-shaped hand drums. While immersed in the world of sound, we will experience how drumming and movement can deepen our connection to our body, help us access our felt sense, and facilitate the carrying forward process.
This evening’s facilitator:
Lillian Sober-Ain, Ph.D. is a Focusing-Oriented Therapist whose work incorporates collaborative hypnotherapy, EMDR, and meditation, which are her many modes of bodily work with trauma. Lillian studies hand drumming with teachers which include Grammy-winning Glen Velez and she performs with 2 choruses and a small band. She has completed a three-year training program on the creation of embodied experiences of rhythm. Lillian practices in the Boston area.
