We will learn the basic skills of listening to Children in a Focusing way, working with creative expression and non-verbal communication. The central goal is to achieve authentic contact and open connection through simple, structured exercises. Connection with yourself is an important part of the process too!

You will develop an understanding of personal bodily felt life experience from both theoretical and practical perspectives. This course will help you find ways to identify, articulate, and follow your own authentic sense of what the children in your life are experiencing whether this is in therapy, teaching or even as a parent. You will experience a model of facilitation which creates a safe environment with clear boundaries that respect the need for privacy and vulnerability inherent in much of childhood & adolescent experience. Integrating this experiential dimension into your work will also bolster your own resilience and competence in self-care increasing energy and decreasing burn out!
