BioSpiritual Focusing: day of Presence
With Donna O'Connor and Mike Smoolca
October 26, 2024
“When you seek me, you will find me. Seek me with all your heart.
I am in the story you are living and you will find me there.”
Bits of Light and Grace, Kathy Sherman, CSJ
This workshop is an overview and introduction to the history and practice of BioSpiritual Focusing. Through prayer, presentations, experiential exercises, reflection, and discussion, you will become more aware of your own sacred story and the movement of God in your life. You will deepen your connection to the One, “in whom we live and move and have our being.” No prior experience with Focusing is needed.
This workshop is a prerequisite for other BioSpiritual Focusing programs.
