ABOUT ME


My name is Meg Stein, and I use the pronouns she/they. I live and work in Durham, NC where I am a Focusing guide and teacher, a racial and gender justice facilitator, and a visual artist. 

I have been a regular, committed practitioner of Focusing since 2014. During that time I've taken classes from my first Focusing teacher, Mary Love May, as well as from Dr. Ann Weiser-Cornell, who is one half of the duo that crafted Inner-Relationship Focusing, which I practice. Additionally, I've helped teach several Focusing classes. I started my program to become a certified Focusing Guide and Teacher in September 2022, under the guidance of Focusing teacher Cathy Pascal, and will be in the program until summer 2024. 

In addition to being a practitioner, a guide and a teacher of Focusing, I incorporate the practice to all work that I do. For example, I integrate an embodied approach into my facilitation and artistic work by creating conversations and experiences that allow internal reflection and body-based awareness. If you’d like more information on my visual art practice, please visit megstein.com.

As a human in the world, I greatly enjoy being in nature and spend as much time as I can hiking, backpacking, canoeing, camping and being out amongst the trees.
