BioSpiritual Focusing: Day of Presence
With Donna O'Connor and Dawn Turgeon
October 3, 2026
Imagine a space where science meets spirituality, where your body becomes a conduit for divine wisdom, and where every breath draws you closer to the essence of your being. Embark on a profound journey of self-discovery and spiritual awakening through the practice of BioSpiritual Focusing.
“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.
