Social Oriented Focusing
Social Oriented Focusing Courses
In these courses, we will discover how powerful Focusing can be when it is used in the interpersonal-social circle. We will experience new forms of interaction and develop a new sense: A sense for social interaction that will give us the room and the freedom to be ourselves, to feel good in our communication with others and in our relationships.
About Social Oriented Focusing
Throughout one's life, interaction with others is an engine for growth and development. We are born in and from interaction, and within interaction the self is defined and evolves. In Social Oriented Focusing, we Focus on and in the shared interpersonal space and develop a sense for social interaction.

What Graduates Are Saying About SOF
"Social Oriented Focusing helps me look into things that lie in the deepest of places, subjects that relate to my being here in this world, to my desire to gain recognition, to be loved, to be wanted, to be significant, and the prices I pay for these things that drive me. Questions that relate to belonging, having a place in the world, harmony and disharmony, competitiveness, authenticity, pleasing, loneliness and being part of something much bigger than myself arose and became clearer during these sessions. Conflicts of feelings and actions that I need to find a balance between that is right for me at any given moment. The epiphanies that grow from the personal processes that take place during these sessions let us bring them forth into any space, into any social interaction, where we stay or act, to see what my story is and how I would like to update it in a way that would bring me to act in a more authentic and self-connected way in the world."
