Jon Fordhouse.
More than thirty years on a spiritual path — breathwork at the centre of it for over twenty-five. Quaker beginnings in South Wales, time in ashrams in Wales and India, and a working life in art and operations. None of it incidental.
Jon’s path began in his teens — Quaker silent worship in a South Wales childhood, then time in ashrams in Wales and in India, where he sat with Sai Baba. And breathwork at the centre of his path for more than twenty-five years, alongside meditation, energy work, non-duality, and a long, wide-ranging study of the traditions that take the inner life seriously.
It began in earnest at twenty-one — a first Holotropic Breathwork session, and a spontaneous Kundalini awakening. Much of what followed, from ashrams to psychoanalysis to art, was learning what to do with it. The breath is where it all returns.
For most of that time he thought of himself as anarchic — suspicious of lineage, taking his own road. Written down in one place, the road turns out to be a lineage of its own. He trained formally in Conscious Connected Breathwork, with Inbreath and Seven Directions, though most of what he knows was lived before it was taught.
Outside the breath, Jon has spent years in management and operations, in senior roles since 2018. That experience informs the practice: he holds the space with the same attention to logistics and human dynamics that complex work requires, and the same care for what lies beneath the task. He lives and works in London; sessions are in person and online.
Alongside all this, a life lived at full width — an MA in Fine Art and years as an artist, a father, a traveller. The work has never been separate from the living; it is what made the living fuller, and that is finally what is on offer here: not a technique, but a way of meeting your life more completely.
He does not describe himself as a healer. The breath does the work — Jon holds the space in which the work becomes possible. That distinction matters to him.
Something runs through all of it — the breath, the energy work, the conversation: a quality of presence, and an energetic field Jon holds alongside the practical work. It comes from years in ashrams and non-duality, and from the lineage of darshan — less a technique than where his attention, and his answers, come from. For those who feel it, it’s part of what’s here.
And there is the Kundalini — awoken long ago, moving still. If it means something to you, you already know what thirty years of it brings.
