3. The Body in Felt Sensing (Module One course)
This is the third of the 6 courses that together constitute the Felt Sensing-Training. In this course we learn what “body” and “surroundings” are in Felt Sensing, and go deeper into “togetherness” and teh “We-space”.
We get to know more about why and how Gendlin claims that we can know “more” with our body than with our minds, and why it is useful to turn towards that which has not yet formed. We will discover that it is not necessary to be verbal or to always have to put into words what arises in Felt Sensing.
One goal is to get to feel more safe in your own body through Felt Sensing, and with your own expressions and feelings, as well as being in a “we”, both in Sensing Partnership and in life in general.
Prerequisite: The two first courses of this training.
