Deepening your Spirituality with Focusing
Women’s Spirituality
An Online Workshop & Support Group for Women
Connect with other women to enhance your spirituality, give you new perspectives on life, and allow your creativity to flourish.
- Ancient traditions include much wisdom about our place in the universe as both embodied and spiritual beings. Two of these traditions can help us to deepen and expand our own spiritual quests through its connection to the rhythms of the year– The Jewish calendar and Chinese Healing Philosophy. Unique to the Jewish calendar, each month has a variety of corresponding qualities that have the potential for spiritual and psychological healing and growth.
- Focusing is a contemporary practice which also relates to us as embodied and spiritual beings.
- This new program combines the two approaches to spiritual work. The aim of the group is to open these approaches to a wider audience while at the same time providing a support group for women seeking to deepen and enhance their lives.
We’ll begin with a discussion of a few basics related to the topic:
- What is the relationship between spirituality, religion, and the divine?
- What is unique about women’s spirituality?
- What role can spirituality play in creating fuller, more fulfilling lives?
- How can we enhance spirituality in our everyday lives?
We’ll consider all of these questions and more from a Focusing oriented perspective. Woven throughout will be Focusing exercises to help us to delve more deeply into subjects ranging from women’s spirituality to Kaballah (Jewish spirituality) to Chinese healing and wellness philosophy. We’ll consider the mystical significance of each month of the calendar as well as what Chinese philosophy can teach us about how to best balance body, mind, heart and spirit through the seasons of the year.
- Who is this group for? Women who have a sincere desire to deepen their connection with their spiritual selves through Focusing and Jewish spirituality.
- Are there pre-requisites? While there is no need to have prior familiarity with any of the approaches listed above, the group will also be beneficial to those with proficiency with them.
- Each session will include group Focusing, lecture, sharing, discussion and time for Focusing partnerships to deepen and expand your own relationship with the material.
- For a list of themes for each session, please be in touch with Ruth
The group will meet 8 times, approximately once a month for 2 1/2 hours each meeting. All sessions will be recorded and a link to the recording provided within 24 hours of each class session.
