The social project of Gendlin is not yet fully complete but I think it progresses. The Partnership Focusing is already a significant achievement. This is a new social practice: two people available to turn a moment to listen. This practice is not free and governed by the Focusing Institute or any other proceeding. We encourage partnership and we offer people the opportunity to join our partnership bank. We offer introductory sessions to the practice of partnership, but each is free to integrate this process in its own way.
Listening individually by a trained, certified Focusing is also I think a new social practice. This is not therapy. Listening, however, may comprise part of the educational process. The tags are established between a listener who knows the process and can "guide" another person through the steps and people develop their ability to use Focusing.
New forms are currently under development and the resource group is one of them.
I will develop this theme in my Power Point presentation. If you're interested welcome to the presentation to be held Thursday, March 25, 2010 from 7:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at 2275 Prieur East Montreal and will be followed by a discussion (7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.) (Please RSVP by email ).
