Are you a professional guide, therapist, or educator looking to enrich your practice with Focusing and creative methods? In this intensive masterclass, you’ll discover how to help clients—young and old—create inner movement in stuck processes. You’ll learn how to support sustainable change through a Focusing-based attitude, subtle interventions, and body-oriented attention.
Central Questions
How can you unconditionally be present with a client?
How do you support an inner process when it’s blocked?
Which interventions deepen without forcing?
How do you stay attuned to yourself while guiding others?
What You’ll Learn
Strengthening self-care, autonomy, and inner wisdom—for yourself and your clients
Working with Focusing as both a method and a foundational attitude
Recognizing the phases of a Focusing process, in yourself and others
Applying non-verbal communication, symbolization, and creative expression
Navigating critical processes, blocks, and disruptions

Deep listening: in three directions—with your body, heart, and mind
Who Is This For?
This masterclass is for professionals (therapists, teachers, coaches, caregivers) interested in Focusing who want to deepen and enrich their guidance skills. No prior experience with Focusing is required—just an openness to experiential learning and self-reflection.
Approach
We work experientially and practice-oriented. You’ll bring your own cases, work with personal learning goals, and reflect on your attitude and actions. You’ll learn by doing, feeling, and articulating, in a safe and stimulating learning environment.
