EFA’s Vision Statement

The European Focusing Association is a European network for Focusers, Focusing professionals and Focusing practitioners, who wish to develop Focusing and the Experiential Approach through collaboration, openness and mutual support.

We embrace diversity and multiplicity. While all members share the common ground of Focusing, the Association does not favour any particular understanding of Focusing.

Our aims are to:

• Support an ongoing dialogue among European Focusers.
• Explore ways of teaching, practicing and researching Focusing.
• Foster the exchange of research, theory and practice across language groups.
• Draw on our intercultural diversity to learn from one another.
• Exchange ideas with other European and global associations and institutions.
• Support and promote scientific study.
• Promote the Focusing paradigm.
• Support professional development.
• Actively envision and participate in future developments.
• Engage in socio-political processes to foster Focusing in health, social insurance, education, academic contexts and beyond.
• Develop training programmes appropriate to the multicultural and multilingual European context.
• Maintain a strong commitment the philosophy, attitude and ethics of Focusing.
