“Listen, O drop, give yourself up without regret,
and in exchange gain the Ocean.
Listen, O drop, bestow upon yourself this honor,
and in the arms of the Sea be secure.
Who indeed should be so fortunate?
An Ocean wooing a drop!
In God's name, in God's name, sell and buy at once!
Give a drop, and take this Sea full of pearls.”

Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi

How do these guidance and facilitation sessions work?

Simon is highly intuitive and congruent with the practice of Embodied Relational Presence and works live to follow your needs directly, both of the group and individual. Fun, play, safety, small group meetups, plenaries, interactive, emergent, exciting, community together-orientated and totally live is my style. There is plenty of room to process - there will be conscious pauses to breathe and settle, to savour the experience and deepen connection - and enjoy connecting and learning in an easy and relaxed way.
