COURSE DETAILS...

We built the foundation of this in Level 1 which is a prerequisite for Level 2.

When we begin our journey as a companion in our Focusing partnerships, questions arise like:

Am I doing this right?

How do I pace this?

Reflecting too much/not enough?

Getting in the way?

Ann Weiser Cornell (1996) says “ you may discover that you are out of practice as a listener. You’ll almost certainly find that listening will be very rewarding to you.”

• Date: October 12/19/26 & November 2 (Total 12 hours)
• Time: 10:00-13:00
• Fee £135 BOOK HERE

COURSE DETAILS...

In this 3rd Level of the BFA Skills Certification we learn more about the role of companion. 

Level 1 and Level 2 are prerequisites for joining this module.

By now you have experienced the richness of Focusing with a partner, simply being present for another creates a unique experience.

However, our Companion can also support us in our Focusing process.

In this module we’ll learn:

As Focuser:

How to request from our companion what we need for our journey in each session.

Blocks to our Focusing process, what happens if we get distracted or if we can’t sense anything

As Companion:

Guiding in

Reflection; suggestions and reminders.

Expanding our language of reflection: “something in you”, “you’re noticing”

DETAILS...

Join Bethany Rivers and Paula Charnley during the festival of Imbolc, as we sense and celebrate the first stirrings of spring within us and around us. In this nourishing 4-day retreat you can look forward to deepening your connection: to the wisdom within yourself; nearby woodlands and lake; and inspire your own creativity.

In This 12 hour course our focus will be working with and understanding parts.

Focusing becomes embodied when we can stay with and stay curious to all those parts of us.

Imagine that at the very same time there is a part of me that feels 'scattered' and another part that feels 'grounded' how is that even possible?

The gift of Focusing allows us to be with all of this in our everday lives.

Prerequisite to this Level 4 course is to have followed BFA Level 1-3 with an accredited BFA teacher or equivalent. Please email me to chat this over if you haven't worked with me before.
