What is Focusing?
Focusing is a pilgrimage of self-discovery, where the body becomes both compass and companion, leading us towards the wellspring of healing and the untapped realms of intuitive insight.
- It is the art of honouring the present moment, inviting us to befriend ourselves and, in that friendship, discover the profound and transformative beauty that resides within our own embodied presence.
- Focusing is the sacred art of turning our attention inward, listening to the whispers of our own being.
- It is the gentle dance between Presence and intuition, a profound journey into the depths of our embodied wisdom.
- In the tapestry of focusing, we weave a connection to the felt sense—a language spoken by the body, a guide to our inner landscapes.

- Develop Unshakeable Embodied Relational Presence.

'I highly recommend this online foundation course on focusing... such a magnificent year of journeying with other 6 companions. Which are now very much part of my close relations, above all they probably know me better that anyone else...Focusing gives you a quality of connecting and resonating with one another that is beyond friendship. It is like someone is there for you to give you back your own medicine. Exquisite sharing with you all beautiful humans.'❤️

‘I have found Focusing with Simon to be a deeply rewarding path to connecting with my emotional life. So many issues that were never allowed to be, just held inside me in a state of stuckness. Focusing has allowed me to release them and has brought lightness and joy to my being’
Andy Philpot
About Simon - Companion Coach Facilitator & Trainer
We are living in unprecedented times—both thrilling and unsettling with forces beyond our control at play on financial, global, environmental, and social levels. The lack of meaning in materialism has left our culture's social fabric empty, sowing confusion in our identities and a sense of lostness about what it means to feel secure, grounded in the natural order, and truly connected to others and the awe and mystery of the universe.
We live in a culture of atomization where technology promises connection yet alienates us further—moving from Cartesian "I am" to Apple "I-Phone," faces frozen and hypnotized by screens. The proliferation of information competes for our attention—it's hard to draw breath and sense our true identity as sovereign beings.
And yet... in every moment, the sun rises and stars offer their soft light. The ground remains ever faithful, lovingly supporting us. Birds continue to sing, trees remain rooted, oceans stay deep, and there is richness and beauty in every precious, tingling, vibrant moment. A silky breath slides into our bodies from the skies as the universe continues breathing through us, perfuming every cell with vibrancy and warmth. We are here now, alive—coming home to ourselves is the prayer of every star, every mote of dust. Something deep within knows how to return to its authentic original self—like a hidden gem stitched into a garment's lining, we had it all the time. Embodied Relational Presence offers a portal to true self-empowerment where we realize we are not foam buffeted by waves, but the ocean itself.
For over 34 years, I've supported individuals and communities toward greater personal and professional empowerment through Mindfulness, Nonviolent Communication, and Focusing—practices that unlock our capacity to live more fully, creatively, and courageously. My work bridges inner transformation with outer change, rooted in active commitment to ecological regeneration, social equity, and nonviolent living through grassroots organising and co-creation. I invite you into this portal of Embodied Relational Presence—where there is autonomous, sovereign, connected, and irrepressible life—to become both magician of your own wholeness and powerful ally for planetary regeneration and collective wellbeing.
