H.O.W. TO FACILITATE WELLNESS CIRCLES:
HEALING THROUGH WE-ING
by crossing we create in each other what neither of us was before.
Eugene Gendlin
Focusing in groups and sharing our felt experience in community adds a new dimension to it.
It creates a special energy that is palpably alive, and which helps call forth and further expand each person’s own living energy.
This greater felt sense of our We-ing directly affects our personal healing.
We are social mammals, whose ability to bond and to love has directly evolved into new powerful ways of connecting and relating.
As our ability to relate authentically improves, we continue moving forward as one human family as well as individually.
Welcoming, embracing, touching into, and receiving this “We” aspect of our human beingness is essential to the full expression of our natural potential.
In this Healing Through We-ing workshop on H.O.W. To Facilitate Wellness Circles,
we will share from our felt sensed space, gifting the group with our precious experiencing.
As each person receives our felt process, their inner felt responding carries their own process further.
There is a fresh sense of “us” as part of a whole. Not alone and apart from, but part of a greater whole, a wider human experience.
Likewise, as we listen, the group gifts us with its thick energy and shared body wisdom.
Healing becomes one shared, living process of felt sensing, listening, receiving, and carrying forward together.
Focusing is about attending inside and enjoying meaning making and the bodily-felt release that accompanies it.
In community, these shifts and insights move out into the shared sense of “US,” and the wisdom of the group opens up more meaning in us.
Both our own individual process and our sense of “the whole of us” get carried further along into a new, right way of being, into a fuller sense of wellbeing.
Thus, in group Focusing, we gain in breadth what we lose in depth; meaning, our Focusing may not be as deep as in partnership, but we
widen our inner experience by identifying and resonating with each other.
H.O.W. TO FACILITATE WELLNESS CIRCLES WORKSHOP - Via Zoom Webinar
This workshop is an experiential introduction to my model for Focusing in support groups, which came out of my Recovery Focusing groups.
We will explore the primary movements involved
in facilitating wellness circles while we enjoy and explore
the three phases of the
H.O.W. We Heal model: Honoring, Opening, and Welcoming.
Those who wish to deepen their experience of the H.O.W. We Heal model can join me in a 10-week course on “H.O.W. to
Facilitate Recovery Focusing Groups.”
