Find a Focusing Professional - Amona Buechler
After an introduction to Focusing as part of a course called “Working with People” in 2014, I immediately caught fire, and I have been Focusing ever since. Before I started Focusing, I had a 15-year foundation of daily meditation and regular Feldenkrais practice, both approaches in which the inner inquiry takes place "alone". I found the interaction in Focusing to be a precious added value. It is a real life-changing treasure.
Of German origin, I lived in Chicago from 1998-2015 and then traveled the world until 2021. I now live in Germany, Leipzig.
I have been offering courses, workshops, and sessions online and offline. In German, live, in English, online, and in English with Chines translation online and live in Taiwan. Since 1998. I am a Certified Focusing Trainer, as well as a Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner & Assistant Trainer. I have also trained in Systemic Constellation. Since 2023 I am a Focusing Coordinator in Training.
I offer Focusing Skills Certificate Level 1-5 courses (online and live) in English and sometimes with Chinese translation. I offer a two-year Focusing Professionals Training in English. And I co-facilitate retreats with my sister where we combine Focusing with Authentic Movement. I also offer continuing education programs in Germany "Bildungsurlaub" where Focusing practices serve to find ease at one's workplace. Areas of interest within my Focusing practice include:
- How does Focusing lead to steps of action?
- How to learn/teach listening from one's (embodied) whole self?
- How to let insights from the Polyvagal Theory inform our quality (inner) listening?
- How to combine Focusing with non-violent communication, so that the expression of our needs and wishes arises from a felt sense basis?
- The significance of inviting a larger whole in the Focusing process.
I am passionate to share this ever-deepening and enriching journey!
