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, ashram years in India and Wales, and a working life in art and operations. None of it incidental.
Jon came to breath in the late 1990s through a combination of Quaker silent worship — which he had grown up with in South Wales — and a period spent in ashrams in India and the UK. The practice arrived not as a technique but as a recognition: that the breath had always been there, and that working with it intentionally was simply learning to work with what was already working on him.
He trained formally in the early 2000s and has been facilitating group and individual sessions since 1998. Over more than twenty-five years the work has included group Activations at studios, festivals, and corporate venues; one-to-one sessions in his London practice; and a growing private caseload for clients whose working lives require more discretion.
Outside the breath, Jon spent fifteen years in arts management and operations — directing large-scale cultural projects, living between London, India, and West Africa. That experience informs the practice: he holds the space with the same attention to logistics and human dynamics that complex projects require, and the same care for what lies beneath the task.
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.
He lives in London. Sessions are available in person and online.
