Jon Fordhouse

Jon was raised in South Wales in a Quaker family, so was exposed to broader ideas of the spiritual from an early age. Initially exploring shamanism and psychedelics, Jon travelled widely before returning to Britain to study sculpture. It was soon after this that Jon experienced his first Holotropic Breathwork, at the age of just 21, also undergoing a spontaneous Kundalini Awakening during this first session. His spiritual journey accelerated from that point. He continued practicing breathwork regularly, also working with Amerta Movement Meditation with Suprapto Suryodarmo and Mala Sikka, as well as energetic healing, studying with several different schools.

Jon later shifted his studies to contemporary art, also visiting India, spending a lot of time at Sathya Sai Baba's ashram receiving darshan twice daily. Jon also practiced Vipassana and other meditation during this time, though he found spontaneous, freeform meditation to be personally most effective. After returning to India and Sai Baba's ashram, Jon went on to visit Guru Subraminium's Skanda Vale ashram in West Wales multiple times, benefiting from the multiple pujas practiced there.

After concluding his studies, Jon moved to London and thrust himself into the world of contemporary and performance art, later going on to complete an MA in fine art. While his spiritual journey continued during this time, it took a more Western route, focussing on periods of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy, along with several courses focussing on leadership and management.

While Jon's Kundalini process continued throughout this period, he had shifted away from specifically practicing breathwork, and towards the end of this period he felt drawn back to focus on the practice, also sensing he was now ready to offer breathwork to others. Undertaking breathwork training with InBreath and Seven Directions, Jon also trained as a Kundalini Activation facilitator, though his own personal journey with Kundalini and the gurus and temples he has spent time with give him a much more direct connection with Kundalini.

Jon's more recent personal work, alongside his continuing Kundalini process and breathwork practice, includes working with Shakti Catarina Maggi, an Advaita Vedanta or non-duality teacher.

Jon now offers breathwork and spiritual guidance, both of which also naturally involve his wider spiritual experience.
