About Conscious RelatingConscious relating is the practice of self discovery, or self unfolding, through deep relational presence. I organise courses and experiences that hep people connect with one another in true authenticity, deep personal honesty and presence.About Richard AshrowanI have worked with health and wellbeing for over 35 years. I was co-founder of Open Road, an addiction recovery charity, then therapy coordinator at The Stress Project in Hollway in London during the1990s. I trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine with a Cantonese doctor for four years - Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal medicine, working in private practice for several years. I also trained in Meditation and Spiritual Healing, Systemic Family Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy. I gained a PhD from Edinburgh University in 2016 examining the idea of transformation within Alchemy. More recently, I have worked as a mental health recovery practitioner for Devon MIND, in one-to-one work, facilitating DBT skills, and co-facilitating a long term historical childhood trauma therapy group. Three years ago, I experienced a great opening toward life through a plant medicine experience, which has led me toward exploring presence and relational connection through the practices of Circling, Authentic Relating and Transformational Connection. I am currently working towards accreditation as a Transformational Connection facilitator. I am also a film artist with a deep interest in the Alchemy of relationships.
