FOCUSING PRACTITIONER Unshakeable Presence PORTAL PROGRAM October 2026/27 BOOKING NOW

15th October 2026 - 14th October 2027 Zoom Online

Professional Training Workshop/Event

“Ready to go deeper?  Unshakeable Presence, one Portal at a time.”

Unshakable Presence

Embodied Focusing for Ecological, Social & Personal Renewal

Focusing Practitioner Training with Simon McKibbin

NOW OPEN THROUGH FOUR PORTALS

“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” — Mary Oliver

For the first time, this Practitioner Training is opening as a living, rolling path rather than a single fixed cohort. Four Portals turn through the year, each one a genuine doorway into the same journey toward BFA Focusing Practitioner certification.

Step through when you’re called, not when a calendar happens to align. Sample a single Portal to explore one theme, or move through all four in your own time, typically over 12 to 18 months. However you enter, you join a living community of fellow Focusers, not a fixed intake that starts and ends together.

The training is grounded in Embodied Relational Presence — Simon McKibbin’s own integration of 36 years of Focusing, Mindfulness, and Nonviolent Communication. It welcomes a genuine variety of people and circumstances, with flexible entry, flexible pace, and financially sustainable payment options, so that what stands between you and this work is never simply cost or timing.

Open to graduates of a Focusing Skills course, or those with equivalent experience.
