During this weekend workshop, we will explore how our bodies teach us wisdom about how we really are. The Focusing process helps our mind listen to the wisdom of our body. In any situation, our body is sending information. Many of us don’t know how to open our minds to this information because it doesn’t follow the same logic as our cognitive mind.

We have deeper wells of knowledge within us than we consciously know. Focusing helps to give us access to all of it. It is the bodily knowing. Included in the retreat will be input on the topic, reflection time, practice and large and small group discussion. Come learn the wisdom of your body!
