Summer has arrived and we are getting ready to pause our weekly zoom sessions for July and August. Many thanks to those who host the sessions. We would very much welcome some support in this area. Perhaps you might be willing to join the team and host a zoom session once every five or six weeks? Please get in touch if you would like to find out more.
Our Focusing Refresher evenings have been running since last September. Each month we've had an opportunity to sense into a different aspect of Focusing in partnerships. We're very appreciative of our Focusing trainers who facilitated these evenings. The last Refresher session (and our last zoom session) will take place on Monday 30th June. Fiona O'Meara will facilitate The Power of Prompting: Ways of reflecting without interrupting the process.
We'd love to hear your feedback about these evenings. Would you like another round of Refresher evenings after the summer? What did you find helpful and enjoyable? What would you like to see more of? Please email Kay at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. with your responses.
Earlier this year our new Guidelines for Zoom Focusing Sessions were shared by email with all our members. The guidelines, which can be found on our website (by clicking here), were drawn up by the committee in order to nurture and maintain a sense of safety within our community and to promote respectful connection. If you haven't already done so, please take time to read the guidelines.
We now have a dedicated email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for anyone who requires support or advice in relation to our online Focusing sessions, or who wishes to raise a concern.
Finally, we are very excited to host a Children and Focusing Introductory day in Dublin with Rene Veugelers and Elaine Goggin on June 28th. We invite you to support this initiative in whatever way you can - by attending or by sharing the news of the event with your family/friends/colleagues and on social media. This day is open to everyone including those who don't know Focusing so this is a great opportunity for us all to spread the word about Focusing within our communities and to reignite interest in Focusing with Children in Ireland.
Where ever you are in the world, we wish you a beautiful summer and look forward to reconnecting with you on line in September.
