Workshop - Akira Ikemi
Focusing East and West: Understanding Gendlin's Focusing and Asian Focusing Methods.
Akira Ikemi has practiced, researched and taught Focusing for many years, beginning from the time he studied with Eugene Gendlin at the University of
Chicago. His career started as a clinical psychologist in hospitals and in then in corporate mental health. Since then he has moved on to full time faculty positions at several Japanese universities. He has written over 180 articles and book chapters in Japanese and in English.
Inhoud en werkwijze
The goal of this workshop is to deepen our understanding of Focusing, in theory and in practice, and then to familiarize ourselves with what I call ‘Asian Focusing Methods’, a mindfulness-based way of Focusing.
The workshop starts with demonstrations and practices of Gendlin’s ‘Focusing Short Form’. The Focusing process will be further understood by the concept of ‘Experiencing’, and by ‘Crossing with Animals’, an exercise I developed to highlight Experiencing.
In the later part of the workshop, we will practice ‘Asian Focusing Methods’, which consists of three methods; Kansoho (observing thoughts), Kangaho (aka Kanga Focusing: observing selves) and Blue Sky Focusing. Participants can enjoy both ‘Western-Style Focusing’ and ‘Eastern-Style Focusing’.
