CHANGES:a Monthly Drop-In Group For Focusing & Listening To The Deeper SelfFacilitated by Joan Klagsbrun, PhD. at The
Arlington Center, Focusing, developed by Eugene Gendlin, is a mind/body/spirit process for accessing the body’s innate wisdom and cultivating compassion towards oneself and others. Focusing is useful for decision-making, clarifying life issues, moving past blocks, enhancing creativity, deepening spirituality, and knowing oneself more deeply in each moment. This monthly drop-in group provides an opportunity for both those new to Focusing, and experienced Focusers, to practice within a supportive community. Newcomers will have an opportunity to be taught the Focusing process. A voluntary donation of $8 helps cover the rent. All meetings are at The Arlington Center, on Sundays from 2-4 PM, and are open to both experienced Focusers, and those with no previous Focusing experience. The dates for CHANGES in 2010 are:
