Launching Focusing as a Practice requires a combination of:

  * Weekly Partnership Exchange
  * 1:1 and 1:2 Coaching for individual attention
  * Community Focusing Workshops
  * 3 person 3 hour (3p3h) applied focusing

Workshops are 4 hours (5 hours if the group is larger than 6) and happen every 2 months. They are taught by Robert Lee and staff. They include:
1. 12 Avenues into Felt Sensing (Domain of Felt Sensing)
2. Thinking in Focusing (Domain of Issue/Situation)
3. Getting help from Self-Empathy (Domain of Self-Empathy)
4. Advanced Listening. Listening differently to the domains
5. Phases of focusing-starting, linking, entering, shifting, acting

Weekly partnership exchange. New partners at each workshop. About 1 hour/week. Exchange can be on the phone or in person.

Coaching - four coaching sessions 1:1 with staff. These are 1:1 sessions for an hour.

Community Focusing Groups with staff- Five of these - 1.5 hours each-- one month after each workshop on conference calls on the phone.

3p3h Applied Focusing Sessions. In these sessions each person works for a half hour in an applied domain focusing session and each person observes two other sessions.
