FOCUSZART The Focusing Studio was founded to bring Felt Arts (our term for experiential arts) to the world
Our mission aims to not only promote personal growth, joy and healing through Felt Arts but also to initiate shifts in cultur bound thinking, feeling and acting modes
We claim Felt Arts being a doorway for change in cultures (cultures of the psyche, Focusing cultures, educational and therapeutic cultures, and cultures in organisations and communities)
We strongly believe Felt Arts being a portal for transcultural development. Felt Arts can be a vehicle to ride the freedom of cross-cultural learning from bottum-up right-brain activities
In Felt Arts the body is taking the lead in aesthetic activities (therapeutic and non therapeutic). The aesthetics belong to both the materalistic and the spiritual realms of life and therefore have special transformative qualities leading to an understanding of the transcendent
According to our view, these qualities of the transformative are a strong argument to implement Felt Arts in Focusing and Focusing-informed approaches, as well as in Focusing related fields of education and research
