HELLO. and welcome to the Focusing Way, podcast. I’m your
host, David Battistella. So, What is focusing? Why is it so
great? What got me into focusing? How has it helped me? These
are all the types of questions this podcast aims to peer into and
not so much answer, but be with and explore.
First, a bit about me.
I’m a filmmaker who’s been a part of many creative processes in
film. I first got into documentary filmmaking because of the
possibility that every film is like continuing education. I
want every film I embark on to be like a new university course and
I have used documentary filmmaking to extend my curiosity and to
share stories. Filmmaking has taken me all over the world but
focusing helped take me on a journey into myself, a way of better
understanding me. So what is this podcast about? It’s a bit like a
documentary film that follows new lines of inquiry and discovers
new things. Here, I aim to have what I call, “focusing oriented
conversations” with people who teach and practice focusing.
And it’s through these conversations that I hope you can learn
about all the beautiful things I’ve learned and I continue to learn
about focusing.
The Way is Love & The Focusing Way podcasts are conversations around Roman Catholic Faith.
The first followers of Christ were labeled as Christians which confused them because they referred to themselves as followers of “The Way”.
