2023 Midwest Focusers Gathering
Friday, Sept 29 – Sunday, Oct 1, 2023
Lindenwood Retreat & Conference Center
Plymouth, IN 46513
We* are excited to announce the 2023 Midwest Focusers Gathering, to be held IN-PERSON, Friday, September 29 to Sunday, October 1, 2023.
We gather together to support each other in living Focusing within our daily lives. Together, while creating a space for listening, we practice attending to our bodily-felt sense, sharing what we learn, while being in community with each other.
Participation is open to individuals who have some experience as a Focuser and as a Listening Companion, with each person fully supported to Focus in their own way. Attendees are invited to offer and/or suggest a Focusing-related presentation, workshop or discussion topic during the Gathering.
This year’s Gathering is being held at Lindenwood Retreat & Conference Center, 9601 Union Rd. in Plymouth, IN 46513.
