A Full TAE Seminar – Developing your Field of Knowledge through the Philosophy of Focusing

Out of Focusing, a branch grew — TAE: Thinking At the Edge.

The tools are similar:

consulting with the Felt Sense (FS), radical acceptance, curiosity, specific invitations, trust in Positive Implying, and more.

But our orientation moves beyond the therapeutic field, and begins to explore the fields of inquiry, creation, and action.

Both as someone accompanying processes and as someone being guided through such a process, this perspective is expansive and deeply enlivening — it opens possibilities and generates richness and power.

In Focusing sessions, we usually begin from a starting point of a “problem,” difficulty, or a situation that is not “as it could or wants to be,” and we use the wisdom of the whole body to bring insights and recognition of the next right step.

In TAE, the starting point is different.

We begin with something we feel passionate about.
We begin with something that carries a sense of expertise, direction, deep knowing…

Often, this deep knowing may still be vague (or shy), not yet formulated concisely or even coherently — but it is absolutely there.

This is an opportunity to take a field of knowledge that is yours — unique and one-of-a-kind, just like you — even if it is tiny, even if it is still unformulated, but already alive and active.

There is a passion there for creating that workshop.
There is still your own way of touching people, processes, facilitation.

There is something that wants to grow and take up more space and influence in the world — especially through the possibility of transmitting your unique and singular knowledge onward.

The seminar I am opening after the holidays will include a full movement through this remarkable thinking practice, gathered into 14 steps or procedures that emerged from and conceptualized Focusing.

On one hand, they are very structured and clear.
On the other hand, they are deeply profound and capable of “gathering” knowledge from the whole body (body-emotion-mind-spirit-all the experiences and situations we have lived through — and so much more beyond that).

Each participant will begin with a personal desire / expertise / field of knowledge.

The aim is to formulate these into new concepts — clear and communicable — a kind of “mini-theory” regarding the field of knowledge, allowing us to act from this knowing once it becomes more accessible and communicable to the world.

A mini-theory is a system of connected concepts with the power to act in the real world, both within this context and across other human spaces.

In short:

to take a project or a personal angle of knowledge and carry it forward through the unfolding of your unique knowing.

From past experience, the “outcomes” of the process often become transferable into additional fields or expandable within the original one.

We will meet as a group for a shared learning process and an individual development process, also supported by two private meetings with me.

The first — before the seminar begins, in order to define the starting point well.
The second — toward the end of the process or within a month after its completion, in order to support the process in reaching its fullest completion.

At the same time, the group itself is present and helps bring forth the human field within which your ideas will eventually move and act.

What might someone begin with, for example?

What you bring into the seminar could be:

A question such as: “Who am I as a person / woman / therapist?”
A question about your own specific way within your field: “What is it that I know about how I do things, that is unique and meaningful?” (even if tiny and nuanced…)
A blockage in your work that carries frustration (and therefore also knows something about a truer direction). Imagine “inviting it to the worktable” — into brainstorming, reconciliation, and an action plan…
A vague felt sense asking for contact — giving it the symbolic, human, and focusing-oriented space it needs in order to become all that it wants and is able to become.
And more…

Into this goodness, I want to invite you too,

and the knowledge hidden / implicit / emerging within you and your work.

A seminar process has just now concluded. You are warmly invited to contact me to inquire about upcoming dates.

A series of 15 meetings, each lasting two-and-a-half to three hours, plus two individual sessions with me (one before the seminar begins, and the second during the process or within a month after the seminar ends).

True, this may sound a little unclear — perhaps even somewhat misty.

That is true.

Because this is a somewhat new and different kind of human movement — but one that is also highly practical, applicable, and exciting.

— Is it possible to find a way to be both practical and “efficient,” while also remaining whole and faithful to our full and wider truth?

If this feels intriguing or attractive,

I invite you to speak with me,

and perhaps schedule a Zoom conversation where you can sense whether this approach and our connection feel relevant to you, and whether there is potential here to support the development of both yourself and the thing seeking expression through you…

This is an individual meeting with me (at a reduced cost, which will be included in the seminar fee if you join), and it is clarifying and beneficial in its own right. Together, we can begin mapping the inner field asking for attention, and perhaps discover the essence of the inquiry or personal project.

I would be happy if you called (regarding TAE, or בכלל).
