Untangle your life

An introduction to untangling®  
shrewsbury. apr 24-25th 2027

Are there places in your life that feel blocked, tangled and impossible?

Maybe you have tried everything… being rational, working hard, getting help… but nothing works .

And maybe you then fall into helplessness and self criticism… !

…this is a place to use Untangling®

Yet, there is a way that could untangle this and offer lasting change and self compassion. What if every part of us was not an enemy to battled with but an ally to befriend and learn from. At the heart of Focusing is the truth that every part of you is on your side… and that deep within you is wisdom waiting to be heard. This weekend retreat will dive deeply into Untangling® ( originally developed by Ann Weiser Cornell and Barbara McGavin) a special kind of Focusing that we use in the most tricky areas of our life. 
 Some of our themes:

  • Developing deep self empathy

  • Meeting inner critics and judges

  • Untangling patterns of protection

  • Meeting younger and wounded parts of you

  • The map of stuckness and tangled areas of our lives

  • Developing presence and “Compassionate self”

This being human is a guesthouse.

Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,

some momentary awareness comes

as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!
