Embodied Listening: Using Focusing as a Technique in Circle with Marta Fabregat

  • Summary

  • For the video interview and transcript, go to In this interview with Marta Fabregat (https://martafabregat.com/), we covered - How the practice of Focusing works - Focusing is listening from the body, but can’t separate the experience from the environment - Focusing is about the art of living rather than a method or technique - Marta and Tessa both share a short focusing practice - Focusing creates a pause and stillness through being more fully present and honouring your experience - With practice, it becomes natural to keep company with what’s happening internally all the time - Marta shares an analogy of gardening and rewilding: the former is the way we’re conditioned to communicate and be with our experience through different lenses compared to there being no imposition, judgement or belief - For ‘true’ connection to happen we need non-interventional, non-judgemental company - Through this practice with the body, this is not ‘spacey’ but very much grounded - Your own experience of a moment, of a situation makes it a totally new thing just as a poet will experience their own poem newly some time later - As a facilitator, keeping company to what comes in a group situation is crucial, ideally with a beginner’s mind without psychotherapeutic training or whatever your background may be.
