Testimonials
This is more of what I always wanted us to do and I can see so many areas for furthering Focusing in what Melinda and Pat are doing. One gap I had not realized was that of targeting organizations, such as the UN, and how that would ensure that Focusing goes beyond one workshop. Melinda and Pat are designing these kinds of connections into organizational structure.
I feel joy in hearing Melinda and Pat talk about their plans and how they envision connecting more people across languages and continents, and including the internet and social media. Melinda is getting to work collaboratively and the excitement shows on her face. It is clear that she and Pat are synergistic. I want everyone to know that I support their work and their ideals. I watched them use Focusing in their discussions with us and know that this is the way we want to see Focusing used–as natural as breathing.
