10:55 a.m. Bio-Spirituality-Focusing – Louise Hageman OP
Focusing is a way of coming home to one’s self. It is not complicated, just unfamiliar. This is an opportunity to learn to sense how an issue feels in your body, not just what you think about it. You will also learn to befriend and make space for the issue so it can tell its story, thereby finding a doorway for grace to surprise you. It is not the logic of reason and control which operates here, but some awesome power, direction and purpose different from anything we could ever imagine
1:00 p.m. Spiritual Formation Group – a time to process what’s been happening in classes; sharing one’s journey; inquiry and feedback.
2:15 p.m. Focusing Practice – Louise Hageman OP
This time provides an opportunity to experience the focusing method developed by Eugene Gendlin, which enables self-acceptance, relaxation, and openness to inner integration.
