A Hybrid Course:
21 Days in Navigating Transitions, Grief, & Loss
3 Weeks of Daily Online Content: Video Trainings + Community
Plus 3 Live Q&A Calls
I’ve sat with many people over the years who were navigating grief and loss. The death of someone beloved, the end of a relationship, a life that no longer looked like the one they’d imagined. And what I’ve noticed is that the hardest part isn’t usually the feeling itself. It’s the sense that you’re not doing it right. That you should be over it by now. That moving forward means betraying what you loved.
What I’ve learned is that grief needs to be accompanied. When something inside you finally feels truly met, something shifts. That’s what this course offers. Not a map through grief, because grief doesn’t move in a straight line. You’ll get a way to be with yourself inside it, with more steadiness, more self-compassion, and more access to what’s actually alive in you.

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.
Our next program starts in April 2027

Helps with: Untangling | inner critic | relationships | healing emotional pain from the past | shame | increasing self-compassion | blocks to action
