Focusing Skills Course Level 1 to 5


Deepen the art of listening to yourself and another

Focusing - Develop Emotional Intelligence

Join levels 3-5 of my current Focusing course.

My next online course will be held:
Mondays, Oct 28 2024 to April 28, 2025
For details, see below.

Relate to yourself and others with freshness, emotional intelligence, and an open heart.

In this gentle and meditative process, both the Focuser and the listener provide a deeply welcoming space for whatever arises. The Focusing way of being in contact with your ‘body’, with your inner sense of something, opens up insights, a knowing that is much deeper and vaster than the emotional and mental dimensions alone can offer.

With this foundation, the way your life unfolds is experienced as deeply meaningful. Even in difficult, confusing times, there is an underlying sense of rightness, of following a natural flow.

What we do in Focusing
Focusing is a gentle and meditative process in which the person going through the process, the Focuser, occasionally (verbally) shares their inner experience. The listener is deeply present, listening with their whole being, and reflecting back from an inner space of welcoming friendliness.

During this safe and gentle process

We all have many moments when we feel stuck, confused, or indecisive. We may then hide from others, or feel irritated, reactive, and disconnected when we are with others.
Immerse yourself in this respectful, transformative atmosphere where you may feel more heard than ever before – by others, but even by yourself. Tap into your deepest places of knowing by cultivating and maintaining a friendly relationship with yourself and others.

What happens in this online course
There will be lectures, demonstrations, partner and group practices, sharing, and Q&A. You will receive written material, and you will be able to listen to the audio recordings online for up to 6 months after the course ends. In addition to class time, participants practice with each other on a weekly basis.

Three one-on-one sessions are part of this course.
This is my unique style, as I have found that repeated one-on-one meetings are of great value. Each student can more easily find their unique Focusing style, and I as a teacher, can better understand each participant’s interests and needs.

You will be in awe of an increasingly deep and meaningful process that will begin to touch all areas of your life. Allow Focusing to fully become your own. Become part of the worldwide Focusing Partnership network.

Student’s Feedback

“My focusing experience with you was deeply meaningful, in large part due to your presence, patience, pace, kindness and teaching. Many thanks.”
Diana, Clinical social worker, January 2024

“… I’ve enjoyed the Focusing Skills Course and the group so much!  I’ve found it enriching, hugely stimulating and really nourishing.  Amona, I’ve loved you holding and the nuance of the content.  Your years of experience and your wisdom are evident to me in it all: resources, session structure, content, and holding of group dynamics.  I see the effects of this practice popping up all over my life and interactions with others.  …”
Roz Bird – Facilitator and conflict mediator, August 2023
