Deep Thinking to Move Life and Thoughts Forward

A Training & Certification Program based on Experiential Focusing and Thinking at the Edge

The Program 

  • combines Focusing and Thinking at the Edge (TAE) as two practices coming out of Eugene T. Gendlin’s Philosophy of the Implicit,  
  • provides an alternative route to the TIFI certification "Focusing Professional/Trainer,"
  • harvests more of Gendlin’s philosophy by generating more 'practices' from it,
  •  brings felt-sensing to a broader audience by widening the applications.


Sign up for the FREE Information Session on February 8th, 2024, at 1pm EST.

The two-year program consists of four courses:

01 Experiential Focusing for Creative Thinking and Personal Growth

  • Being in relation such that a felt sense can form and jell; avenues into felt-sensing
  • Playfully moving between felt sense and symbolization, shifting and receiving
  • Listening and reflecting, partnership
  • Applying felt sensing in daily life 

02 Thought-Movements with the Felt Sense 

  • Integrating TAE and Focusing and enriching  each other and their applications
  • Combining deep thinking and personal growth as two strands that can cross
  • Bringing more of the philosophy into practice and new applications

03 Dipping, Crossing, and Thinking Together

  • Variations of crossing and applications 
  • Formation of a conceptual structure by crossing 
  • Crossing Personal growth and deep thinking 
  • Crossing in teams: Taking in without losing the own point

04 Integration: A Project

  • Introducing TAE as a comprehensive thinking process with its variations and adaptations. 
  • Letting a felt sense form of “something in one's field of knowledge that has not yet been articulated” and explicating from it with the tools already learned
