PSYCHOTHERAPIST & QUEST GUIDE  |  SONGWRITER & CONTEMPLATIVE | INTERDISCIPLINARY EXPLORER

Simon Spire

Welcome! I’m Simon.

I work with people one-on-one as a licensed psychotherapist (LCSWA) or facilitator within a depth-oriented, contemplative, and somatically-informed context.

I facilitate in-person and online journeys,
including Liberating the Natural Breath
and the Emergent Quest.

I write as I explore cultural evolution, human development and initiatory trajectories, and new ways of being in the world.

I create music.

We’re thrilled to announce that we have completed the launch of the updated and expanded version of Liberating the Natural Breath — LNB 2.0 — our comprehensive online course and community designed specifically to help those struggling with air hunger restore their easeful, natural breathing. Along with the launch of LNB 2.0, we have created a number of new public resources and made them available on YouTube and within the breathing section of our website. We welcome to our online course and community and to these public resources all those who struggle with non-medical breathing dysfunction, chronic breathing tension, hyperventilation, breathlessness, shortness of breath, pseudo-dyspnea, difficulties in getting a full breath, or chronic sighing.

The Spring 2021 Emergent Quest will run April 4–June 27 in North Carolina. Learn all about the program here. This program is an opportunity to fully embrace the unfolding initiatory journey at the heart of one’s life. With a special emphasis on further discovering and living your most authentic direction and offerings in the world, this quest-based journey amplifies what’s waiting to emerge on the continuing path into one’s deeper nature and greater purpose. Up to eight participants will gather in person over the course of three months as we move toward a three-day quest ceremony including a full-day wilderness solo based on the pattern of the pan-cultural vision quest.
