🤗 Welcome to Befriending Within 2026
Befriending Within (BW26), 10-Week Embodied Listening Course begins in April, and expressions of interest are now open. This gentle introduction to Focusing offers a grounded, body-based practice of deep listening… a way to slow down, meet what’s here with more kindness, and grow trust in your own inner knowing. It’s especially supportive for changemakers, community connectors, peer support folk, and anyone longing for a steadier, more compassionate way of being in relationships and community spaces. Tuition is pay what you feel (by donation), with a $50 fixed materials cost, and places are limited.
As part of the enrolment process, you’ll be invited to a short pre-course taster session with Nicola, a chance to connect, explore what’s drawing you to the course, and get a feel for the learning space. Past participants have described the space as “safe and spacious… and I always felt very held”, and shared that “it helped me be more present… less reactive”, that they felt “gentler with myself… and that changes how I am with others”, and that it’s “a gift I can take into other spaces… a tool I can use to support myself, and support others.”
If you’re curious, you can download the flyer HERE, and/or submit your EOI online in the link below.
