befriending the now
together

Catch your breath,
Come to your senses,
Befriend the moment.

When we bring awareness to our present-moment sensations, we become more able to notice & identify “shapes” that are no longer serving us. 

This practice of awareness creates conditions for change and opens up the potential to connect to the very heart of life, a wellspring of renewal and possibility. 

To do this in community allows us to practice staying with ourselves while connecting with others – and discovering the gift of true witnessing.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

Present Sense is a group workshop to support you in:

  • Connecting to yourself and to life

  • Building capacity for authentic listening and relating

  • Nourishing the deeper parts of your being, in community!

Drawing on various wisdom traditions, we will connect with ourselves and with life, tend to our nervous systems, and cultivate basic skills for inner work – to practice & play in relationship with self and other. 

The workshop will involve some light movement, awareness practices, dyads or triads, and group reflection – nothing is compulsory.

Bring a journal, water, and whatever you need to be comfortable :)
