Dear Focusers,
I would like to share with you a very special gift I got from my son, Ben Azar. Ben gave me a Focusing Song he composed to Eugene's words.
Ben is a musician and studies Music in Berkley Music School in Boston. Together with Nadine Mansour they created a beautiful one minute song. Ben is an Israeli young man who comes from an Hungarian and Iraqi origins. Nadine comes from German and Egyptian origins. They cooperated together for the Focusing Conference in Israel. As you know, music enables those fascinating encounters …
Eugene wrote:
"We think more than we can say
We feel more than we can think
We live more than we can feel
And there is much more still."

Our topic "Coming Home to Peace Inside and Outside" represents our hope that Eugene Gendlin’s philosophy and the Focusing Process will become an integral part of the people living in this region.
Historical Israel has held extraordinary significance for the Jewish, Islamic, and Christian faiths throughout the region's long and complex history. As such, Israel offers variety of biblical and archaeological places to explore.

As is our custom, we will strive for a balanced and flexible format offering:
- Focusing workshops and other presentations: as in previous years, focusers will offer all kinds of interesting presentations, sharing their latest work, inspiring others.
- Home groups: groups gathering just for Focusing, intercultural, multinational, transcending language barriers.
- Interest groups: groups of focusers with common interest, like Focusing and bodywork / coaching / children, movement, meditation, etc.
- The Follies: our famous talent show. Be happy to show us your special gifts in the form of acts, songs, poems, stories etc. You’ll have the most friendly, attentive, non-judgmental, receiving audience you can dream of!
- And of course: talking, walking, biking, dancing and other dynamic or relaxing activities.

Capernaum (Kfar Nahum), Tabgha, Mount of the Beatitudes and others. You will also have the chance to visit Beit Igal Alon that hosts projects on peace efforts between Arabs and Israelis, yearly. Beit Igal Alon also holds the ancient Jesus boat which was found in the sea of Galillee near the hotel.
