Skype Distance Learning Focusing Course

Wednesday afternoons 2pm – 5pm

Started 29 June 2011

Skype is free-to-use software, enabling a group online conference facility.

For 2 - 5 people maximum.

This distance learning opportunity is for you:

• If you can’t get away at weekends

• If you can’t travel to courses

• If you would prefer to learn in shorter weekly chunks

• If you would prefer to learn Focusing without leaving the comfort of your own home

It works by Skype conference call. You can hear and see the others on the call. The Focusing Skills Certificate Course leads to a Certificate in Focusing skills and is the foundation for professional training. It is divided into a series of 4 x half-days of 3 hours each. Then there is a break for 5 - 6 weeks for you to practice and to integrate what you have learned. There follows another series of 4 weekly seminars, which comprise the next Level or module. There are five modules in total, so the course takes several months to complete. Focusing works best when you learn and absorb slowly, over a period of time.

After introductions and meeting the others on the course, you learn the specifics of Focusing, see a demonstration or do an exercise and get instructions for practice. Then you ring off and call one of the other people for a short practice session, or we may practice in the whole group. After the session we come back together as a group, hear how it went, any feedback and learning to share and further discussions.

The Focusing Student's and Companion's Manual by Barbara McGavin and Ann Weiser Cornell costs £34.50, plus postage and is a requirement for the course.

The entire Focusing course by Skype is £550.00
