If you’re just getting started with Inner Relationship Focusing (IRF), join us for our foundational IRF training program:  Your Path to Lasting Change. In this program, you’ll learn the IRF process and experience the quiet confidence that comes from loving and trusting yourself. You’ll have support from compassionate instructors as well as the benefit of learning in a community. We also offer additional course content for healing professionals with our Healing Professionals track.

If decisions seem to pull you apart, join us for At the Crossroads: Finding Your Way to Calm Clear Decisions. This course is open to anyone who wants a grounded way to move forward when decisions feel difficult.

In our Demonstrations of Facilitating Focusing course, you’ll be present in the room (on Zoom) when Ann Weiser Cornell guides a person through their first Focusing session, once each week, and afterwards discusses the session with the group.

If you’ve completed all of Your Path to Lasting Change, you’re eligible for our advanced offerings: Ann’s brand new program Living a Focusing Life, Getting Free, The Untangling® Intensive, and our Certification as an Inner Relationship Focusing Professional program.

If you’ve taken Getting Free, attended an Untangling® retreat, or are in our Certification program, you can join Ann and Barbara for their Advanced Untangling® Demo Course.

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 2024
