Thetaland® - The Game of Inquiry Toolbox

is now available at The International Focusing Institute's Store

Thetaland® - The Game of Inquiry is based on "Thinking at the Edge (TAE)," a practice that emerged from Eugene T. Gendlin's philosophy of the implicit.

Thetaland® is applicable wherever thought is creative. It provides valuable triggers to nudge you beyond your usual ways of thinking and to tread new paths of thought. Thetaland® invites you to turn your attention to topics or themes in your life that may still be unclear or even contradictory. It offers ways to tap into your inner wisdom and express it with precise and precious language.

The components of the Thetaland® Toolbox are:
12 dwellings (dividers) in 6 colors
144 question cards, 12 per dwelling
24 photo cards
12 manual cards, including 1 prologue card and 1 epilogue card

With each purchase of the Toolbox, you support TIFI with $ 5.

Deep Thinking to Move Life and Ideas Forward

A Training & Certification Program based on Experiential Focusing and Thinking at the Edge

The Program 

  • combines Focusing and Thinking at the Edge (TAE) as two practices coming out of Eugene T. Gendlin’s Philosophy of the Implicit,  
  • provides an alternative route to the TIFI certification "Focusing Professional/Trainer,"
  • harvests more of Gendlin’s philosophy by generating more 'practices' from it,
  •  brings felt-sensing to a broader audience by widening the applications.


Listen to the FREE Information Session. 

The two-year program consists of four courses:

01 Discover Focusing - Deep Listening to Yourself and to Others

  • Being in relation such that a felt sense can form and jell; avenues into felt-sensing
  • Playfully moving between felt sense and symbolization, shifting and receiving
  • Listening and reflecting, partnership
  • Applying felt sensing in daily life 

02 Thought-Movements with the Felt Sense 

  • Integrating TAE and Focusing and enriching  each other and their applications
  • Combining deep thinking and personal growth as two strands that can cross
  • Bringing more of the philosophy into practice and new applications

03 Dipping, Crossing, and Thinking Together

  • Variations of crossing and applications 
  • Formation of a conceptual structure by crossing 
  • Crossing Personal growth and deep thinking 
  • Crossing in teams: Taking in without losing the own point

04 Integration: A Project

  • Introducing TAE as a comprehensive thinking process with its variations and adaptations. 
  • Letting a felt sense form of “something in one's field of knowledge that has not yet been articulated” and explicating from it with the tools already learned
