Journey to Wisdom Part 1 (BFA skills course)
30th September 2025
Focusing Skills Certificate Workshop/Event
In Journey to wisdom, you will learn an embodied skill known as Focusing. Many of us have never learnt to notice our feelings – or our body. We may have never been taught that we have answers inside of you and instead override our needs and innate wisdom. Focusing is a life long skill that opens you to everyday tools to access your own wisdom and offers a route to deep self compassion. Once learnt it can be used in every aspect of living: Self connection, decision making, healing emotional wounds, creative process, empathy with others.
The Journey to wisdom course is split into two 10 week courses, with a break in between. Part one covers the essentials of Focusing and Listening – enabling you to apply Focusing into your everyday life and practice in partnership* with others. Part two goes deeper into focusing by working with parts, deepening your skills as a companion and exploring Focusing in everyday life. You can book both together or try part one first. By completing both of these, you will receive the BFA Focusing Skills Certificate
