You practice ways to foster a mindful, proactive space in which clients will organically tap into their inner ability to heal and grow.
You develop a quality of presence that allows clients to face what might otherwise feel uncomfortable or even unbearable and allows new possibilities to emerge.

In this ten-week Focusing course, we learn to use self-regulation and co-regulation to affect the interactions in our relationships. You can explore any relationships, including those that include power (leaders and employees, teacher and students, parent(s) and children).
The goal is to use emotional regulation to create safe and connected relationships that allow for creativity and action to flow.

Please join me on a unique learning journey of the power of the healing relatedness of the therapeutic ‘us’. The larger unfolding relational process that Gendlin called “the big therapy process”. Designed for therapists, healers, and helpers of all kinds who have some familiarity with Focusing guiding &/or Focusing-Oriented Therapy (FOT) and are ready to explore the larger, unfolding process that Eugene Gendlin called "the big therapy process."

By exploring both the similarities and the differences between two process-oriented approaches— Focusing and Feldenkrais—we can deepen our appreciation of the learning conditions already cultivated in Focusing and discover fresh perspectives offered by the Feldenkrais lens. This can make Focusing even more effective.
Amona's presentation is especially relevant for those who already practice or teach Focusing or other experiential, process-based approaches. It is also for anyone curious about learning, in parenting, in teaching. Some prior experience with Focusing will be helpful but is not necessary.
