Find a Focusing Professional - Monika Lindner

Biography

Monika Catarina Lindner, Dipl. Päd. Univ.

I got to know ‘Thinking at the Edge’ (TAE) in 2013 as part of a university training programme for teachers. Since then, I have been passionate about exploring Focusing, TAE and its philosophical foundations both practically and theoretically. My work as an educator and project manager in intercultural adult education has been significantly influenced by this. My own training path led me to become a Focussing Trainer (TIFI, Focusing España), practicing in German, English and Spanish. As an Experiential Concept Coach -Trainer (ECC, GwG), I specialize in the experiential coaching of individuals and groups based on TAE. I am currently developing training programmes as a coordinator in training (CiT, TIFI) to teach and train in Focusing, TAE and Experiential Alba Emoting. I am supported by my mentors Kjell Ribert, Heinke Deloch, Francesca Castaldi-Salas and Dr. Sergio Lara Cisternas. I have a deep interest in research and I am a member of the international research group "Embodied Critical Thinking" (ECT) and "Freedom to Make Sense" at the University of Iceland. As I value the worldwide Focusing community very much, I support The International Focusing Institute as a volunter on the Membership Committee. I contribue to the Focusing Netzwerk, a network of german speaking Focusing Trainers and Coordinators, who organize a yearly weeklong gathering (Focusing Wochen) during the summer in Germany (https://www.focusing-netzwerk.de). 

In my own Focusing practice and how I teach experiential thinking and creative development, I draw inspiration from organic (ripening and growth) processes, in this particular case mirabelle plums (a beautiful and delicious tasting fruit which actually grows in my backyard). Through Gendlin's philosophy we can better understand that we humans also live processes as plants do, that we also have a plant body and that we live connected in this organic world. If we engage with this, developments can arise which, although sometimes challenging, are nevertheless harmonious and which often surprise us in a magical way, in a word - mirabilis. In this way, I would like to support and accompany people who dare to live from their own inner source of life out of this lived coherence and, in doing so, courageously and creatively set about actualising and enchantingly shaping the world and its cultural patterns.
