Find new possibilities in life with Thinking at the Edge
The world is calling us to shift our thinking.
We can’t address the existential problems we face by relying only on conventional concepts and beliefs. Felt sensing opens us to a larger reality.
Our human bodies know what is going on in our lives.
We can access that knowing by pausing our regular thinking patterns
and noticing our bodily felt sense of situations.
That moment of pausing and sensing brings us in touch with the life process inside us. The life process knows what we are going through and what next steps we need.
Eugene Gendlin, PhD, the philosopher/psychologist, noticed this constant experiencing process and described it. At first, the bodily felt sense of a situation is vague and difficult to put into words. When we stop to listen to it, the vague feeling becomes words, gestures, images, memories, that show us meanings and possibilities that we had not seen before.
Thinking at the Edge (TAE) shows you how to use felt sensing to:
- Deepen your personal life and relationships
- Articulate things that need to be said
- Give voice to new ideas
- Find what has meaning and motivation for you
- Explore how you want to contribute to the world at this time of transformation
TAE Mentor Beatrice Blake has been teaching Thinking at the Edge since 2013. Our video course is composed of:
- 8 short lectures
- Videos demonstrating TAE steps 1 to 11
- A curated selection of Nada Lou’s videos of Gene Gendlin doing his own TAE process
- Transcripts of all videos
- Class materials and workbooks
If you are a Focuser, you can get two copies of the course for $200, one copy for you and one for your Focusing partner.
Thinking at the Edge is a revolution in philosophy
To participate in Thinking at the Edge is to directly experience Eugene Gendlin’s earth-shaking revolution in contemporary philosophy. You’ll be empowered to actually think, create and contribute from your own experiencing.
You don’t need to study philosophy in order to do this. All you need is to discover the vast realm of development that opens up to you when you allow yourself to dwell in your bodily felt sense of an issue or situation.
In Thinking at the Edge, you Focus about an issue over time
In TAE, you receive the attention and space you need to grow. The understanding you start with evolves throughout the TAE process. Your felt sense will take you to moments in your life that give relevance and insight to the issues you face today. You’ll discover how the unique pattern of each experience enriches your understanding.
You can’t reach this by intellect alone. As you immerse yourself in the process, TAE becomes a journey of transformation.
