An Invitation to Revolutionary Practice

This is not simply a certification program—it’s an invitation into a movement of compassionate presence that addresses our world’s most pressing crises through embodied wisdom.

What Makes This Training Visionary?

Embodied Relational Presence (ERP): A pioneering integration of 34 years of Focusing, Mindfulness, and Nonviolent Communication that places felt-sense wisdom at the center of personal and planetary healing.

Ecological Consciousness: Focusing as pathway to restore ourselves to nature—reconnecting Homo sapiens to our ecological context in service of all sentient life.

Beyond Religion, Fully Human: A secular spiritual practice rooted in the body’s wisdom, the mystery of the felt sense, and our interconnection with all life.

Global Vision, Personal Expression: Join a worldwide community while discovering your utterly unique way of sharing this transformative practice.

The Journey

• One residential weekend at Braziers Park (historic Gothic mansion, 55 acres of Oxfordshire beauty)
• Ten 2.5-hour Zoom sessions across the year
• Twelve 1:1 mentoring sessions tailored to your path
• Continuous peer partnership and community support
• Self-paced completion honouring your rhythm (12-18 months)

Core Explorations

The Relational Field: Healing happens not in isolation but in communion—with self, others, nature, elements, and the cosmic whole.

Life-Forward Energy: Learning to trust the body’s innate wisdom to move from paralysis toward creative action, from eco-anxiety toward regenerative engagement.

The Fresh Edge: Always working live in the moment, following golden threads that emerge from genuine presence rather than fixed curriculum.

Language of Correspondence: How nature speaks through you when you recognize yourself AS nature—using relational language that dissolves subject-object separation.
