“Your body needs the rest. Once your body is allowed to be itself, un-cramped,

    it has the wisdom to deal with your problems.”    Eugene Gendlin

This residential weekend retreat is open to anyone wishing to deepen their embodied experience of focusing and companioning. We will explore the following areas together:

• Letting the innate intelligence of the ‘whole body’ guide our focusing
• Inviting movement
• Welcoming silence
• Opening to a deeper felt connection between focuser and listener
• Focusing in nature
• Connecting with the fun element of focusing
• Practicing felt-sensing ‘on the hoof’ with a view to gliding this skill into your home life

The programme will include focusing time in pairs or triads, optional movement before breakfast each morning and a spacious Saturday lunch break for a walk or refreshing nap.
