What if the part of you that longs to let go… isn’t quite ready to be let go of?
There’s something so human in that edge, the place where change wants to happen, but something in us isn’t ready. In Focusing, we learn not to push past it, but to sit with it. Gently. Warmly. Curiously. And from that place of deep presence, something new begins to move. Life shows us the next step, not imposed, but emerging from within.
This programme offers a slow, rooted path into your own inner knowing, where sensing and ecology meet. It is for those who feel called to be more in tune with their bodies, the natural world, and the quiet inner threads that guide us forward.
Sensed Ecology Focusing
Sensed Ecology grew from years of listening and study, not only inwardly, but outwardly too: to forests, weather, soil, birdsong, and the slow language of place. It is a way of experiencing ourselves not as separate from nature, but as sensing participants in its unfolding. Just as a forest listens and responds to change, we too have an inner ecology, subtle, alive, and deeply relational that is inherently available.
This practice opens the door to becoming nature, to remembering ourselves as living organisms within a greater web of life. Through attuned sensing and presence, we discover that our inner knowing is not isolated but connected to all that lives. It offers us a space of emergence, where we can meet other beings, human, and more-than-human, with openness and possibility.
Above all, our bodies carry a unique way of relating with life, distinct and alive in each of us. Sensed Ecology helps us find that thread. It’s a return to the body as a place of wisdom, and to the Earth as a co-guide in our unfolding.
Rooted in the philosophy of Eugene Gendlin and informed by ecology, perception, and somatic presence, Sensed Ecology encourages a way of learning and being that emerges from relationship: with the body, with place, and with what is alive in the moment. It’s a way of listening not just with the ears, but with the whole body, with skin, breath, imagination, and instinct.
In Sensed Ecology, Focusing becomes more than an internal practice, it becomes a conversation with life itself. A walking-with. A sensing-with. A being-with. A way of reweaving ourselves into the living web of things, and allowing new understanding to arise from that wholeness.

- End of year Sensed Ecology Retreat – 22nd to 25th of April
How We Meet: Online, Gently Held
We’ll meet on Zoom in a shared space that feels warm, relational, and grounded, even though the screen. Each session is recorded for your own reflection. You don’t need prior experience, just a willingness to slow down and listen to what is quietly waiting in you to be known.
Contribution & Commitment
The total contribution for the full programme is €1500, which includes a final in-person immersive intensive at the end of the training.
This closing gathering will take place from 22nd to 25th April 2027, offering a space to deepen, integrate, and complete the journey together within the living field of Sensed Ecology. This would have an edition €250 to cover expenses of the retreat. ( Full board 3 days in the West of Ireland ).
To reserve your place, a €150 deposit is required upon registration (from now until September).
The remaining €1350 can be paid in one of the following ways:
– Monthly instalments: spread across 8 months (September to April)
– Per module: 5 instalments, paid at the beginning of each module (approximately every 6 weeks)
Once you register, your place is held for the full cycle of the programme. This is a commitment not only to your own process, but to the shared field we will be cultivating together.
Certification
Upon completion, you will receive a BFA Certified Foundation Course Certificate, which is also recognised by The International Focusing Institute (TIFI). This training serves as the foundational step toward becoming a certified Focusing Practitioner/Facilitator, or simply a deeper journey into your own self-accompaniment.
Ultimately, this course is an initiation, into a gentler way of being with yourself, a clearer way of listening, and a more whole way of living.
“Your physically felt body is in fact part of a gigantic system of here and other places, now and other times, you and other people – in fact the whole universe.”
