April 27, 2026 | April 28, 2026(1 event) – 🤗 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.

What past participants had to say:“Last weekend I finished the most amazing course I have done so far. Words would never be enough to express my journey throughout The Possibility Fellowship. The course was a story-filled exploration of what's possible for me and my communities, for reimagining new possibilities for me, others and the world.” “When I started I was in limbo. Do I walk back on the path I was going on, or do I try to find something different, something new? I learned that my community work doesn’t have to be grand, that it can start from the people all around me. The Fellowship experience gave me clarity about my gifts and confidence to give them.” Port Kennedy Community Centre Please apply here Buy Tickets | May 10, 2026 |
