In this episode of Lost in Language Jessica talks to Jonny Dury. This conversation takes us on a journey through Jonny’s life, from his experiences as a child, to discovering psychedelics and Sufism, his introduction to Bohm Dialogue during his Fine Art degree, and being diagnosed with autism and ADHD later in life, which led him to host in first Autism Dialogue in 2017, and most recently embark on a counseling diploma. Jonny shares how Bohm’s philosophy of wholeness, mirrored in other spiritual traditions, helps us understand the neurodiversity paradigm as a subset of biodiversity, recognising that everyone is different.Jonny is a dialogue facilitator, trainer, consultant and as a therapeutic coach, his modalities are mainly Transpersonal, Gestalt and integrative. He specialises in autism, neurodiversity, and regenerative approaches to combat systemic trauma and fragmentation of consciousness - aiming to empower clients to embrace their uniquenesses and see past any unhelpful aspects of labels and categorising. This year he is launching his book the Autism Dialogue Approach Handbook.
