As coaches, leaders and people in service to society, we continually strive to perfect ourselves in service to positive transformation for our clients and the larger world. However most of us find that the real transformation most easily happens when we are in the “zone” – a state of effortless presence and flow where our intuitive wisdom reflects our client’s process in an often uncannily appropriate way. Presence is emerging into popular awareness as a somewhat mysterious yet by-now commonly recognized factor which connects us to our true selves, our soul purpose, others and their purpose, and to the greater whole. In this course we’ll undertake a deep exploration into questions such as what, exactly, is presence? What is the relationship of self to presence? What does it mean to “hold presence” or “hold space”? How do we connect to our client’s inner being and soul purpose? How does our state of presence assist in liberating the deepest potential in individuals, teams, and society?

Through integrated lenses of wisdom traditions (including Buddhism, non-duality, tantra, and Indigenous traditions), interpersonal neurobiology, quantum theory, transpersonal dynamics, trauma integration, and craniosacral biodynamics, we’ll take a deep dive into a zone of self-discovery, integrating our discoveries into our practice as coaches, leaders, healers and innvoators.
