CRUMBS OF LIGHT – LOVE in a FOCUSING way

29th January 2025
Other Workshop/Event Online English
I invite you to spend time with: LOVE, COLLAGE and LIZ BARING, my focusing teacher and a friendly smiling soul! Liz is a licensed psychoanalyst and creative arts therapist, a practitioner of “sandplay” and a Focusing oriented therapist. For 20 years she has been running a private practice in New York, working with children and adults with a wide range of emotional and behavioral difficulties, combining sandplay, creative arts therapy and Focusing with traditional psychotherapy. She says that art therapy is an ideal companion to focusing as they both invite non-verbal forms of communication. And she is a wonderful, warm person, who moves softly, gently, and confidently in the world of metaphor, symbols, creative play, and therapeutic improvisation, generously companioning those around her with her presence, curiosity, caring and trust.
We will start with a collage – so I invite those who are interested to start collecting scraps of newspapers and magazines that catch your eye… and there will be more … then in coming months we will wander through various creative ways of expressing and supporting your felt senses through art … I also want to assure everyone who has lived so far with the strong belief and feeling of “I don’t know how to draw … etc.” right away, that these skills are not necessary … all we need, as usual, is a bit of curiosity and openness to encounter something new…
This workshop is for therapists, teachers and anyone looking for change and interested in deepening and improving their relationships with themselves and others … we will immerse ourselves in the experience … this time creatively pasting scraps of old newspapers into new, vivid images and patterns … in this strange mixture of coming home and carrying forward at the same time … this approach makes us feel safe and not forget …
This Wednesday will be the first in a series of monthly workshop meetings with Focusing in various versions, with extraordinary teachers from different parts of the world, who integrate the embodied everyday practice of pausing, evocative listening, opening to all that wants to live more lightly and freely (the focusing way of being:) with their professional lives with lightness, gentleness and loving dedication … I have met them on my focusing journey and I decided to invite them “to us” … so I will be your host and translate this meeting from English to Polish … and I hope that you will find enough time and curiosity at the end of the day, in the middle of the week … next Wednesday 🙂
