The International Focusing Institute Inc is an international, cross cultural organization dedicated to supporting individuals and groups worldwide who are teaching and developing Focusing and its underlying philosophy.
We continued to offer a wide variety of online classes on a wide variety of Focusing topics by a wide variety of teachers. For the first time in 40 years, we brought the Advanced and Certification Weeklong program to Chile. The Weeklong is the annual event for those advanced in their study of Focusing.
The Gendlin Research Center gave its first grant to Siebrech Vanhooren at Leuven University in Belgium for a study exploring whether and how experimental openness is related to meaning in life, and demonstrating Focusing as a promising method for treating depression. The Center has announced a Saying What We Mean Conference in Fall 2020 at Seattle University. It is being sponsored by both the Psychology and Philosophy departments in cooperation with TIFI. The Center committee welcomed Joao Messias from Brazil to the team.
