Be more creative, improve decision-making, reduce stress and enhance health! Bio-Spiritual Focusing is a simple and psychologically sound technique to assist in these areas. For Christians, the Bio-Spiritual approach provides a way to bring the body’s sense for grace and God into everyday awareness, helping you to become more fully present to self, others, and to God. Learning will take place in the respectful atmosphere of small groups. The weekend is open to both beginners and those who wish to renew their commitment to this bodily form of healing and discernment.
