with Ann Weiser Cornell
If you could make one big shift for the coming year, what would it be? Join Ann Weiser Cornell for a special, one-year program where she’ll help you move toward the life you’ve always dreamed about.
Times of change and uncertainty also hold opportunity. And that opportunity is about finding a way forward that’s unique to who you are. This program isn’t about a big goal. It’s about a big shift.
That means a big shift in your inner sense of who you are and how you show up in the world… more in alignment with your deepest longings. This could be exactly the right time to reinvent yourself and step up, into the life you were born for.

Getting Free: A Year of Untangling
1-Year Live, Online Program for Advanced Focusers
Ann Weiser Cornell and Barbara McGavin developed the Untangling® method over more than 25 years of research into what really works when facing impossibly tough life issues.
Their own inner work, as well as their work with clients, made them rethink everything they knew about trauma and change… and Focusing. Combined with their deep study of Gendlin’s ground-breaking Philosophy of the Implicit, the result was Untangling® – a powerful set of processes to untangle any Tangle.
