Focusing for me is both a guide to living fully and a spiritual practice.

On an almost daily basis I am in touch with one of my Focusing partners, sharing my Focusing through teaching a phone class, or expressing my feelings or experience in a Focusing way with my friends or my life partner. After a long life (I am retired from careers in teaching and in law) marked by considerable introspection and work, I have been consistently amazed by the surprises which Focusing brings -- whether about my deepest heart's desires, my capacity for change, or new directions for growth. And I find that being now in a committed relationship, after 24 years of 'singledom', provides constant opportunities for exploring all three!

On another level, I find that Focusing constantly reinforces and strengthens my ability to be in the Now, and to apply the 'Radical Acceptance of Everything' to whatever arises in me, or in my life.

Because of the joys and strengths that Focusing has brought to me I particularly enjoy sharing it through teaching, whether to groups or individually. And I am grateful that because of the process that it is, the teaching of Focusing can provide yet another way to practice being in the world authentically.

I am available to teach Inner Relationship Focusing Levels I or II by phone, either one-on-one, or to a group of two, at times to be arranged at our mutual convenience (generally during weekday hours, Pacific Time). Larger groups can be accommodated on request.

Classes for Levels I through IV can be arranged at Hood Canal (Union), Washington, approximately 1 hour 45 minutes southwest of Seattle, near Alderbrook Inn and Harmony Hill Retreat Center.

Changes Groups: Generally hosted in north Seattle (Broadview neighborhood) once a month on Monday evenings.
