THE STILL POINT ~ Presence

PRESENCE

A three-hour Summer gathering

Pause → Arrive → Be here

Can I return to the pace of my body amongst the busy?

Just before Christmas, life can feel especially full. Our attention is drawn towards plans, responsibilities, people and everything still asking to be completed.

Presence offers a deliberate pause within that pace—three hours to return to your body, your senses and yourself.

Life often moves at the pace of the mind—or faster. The body has its own pace.

The mind may understand that it is time to pause, while the nervous system often needs time, rhythm, movement, sensory experience and repeated opportunities to feel supported before it can begin to respond.

Across three hours, there is room for the pace of the mind and life to unwind. For layers of holding to soften. For the practices and information to be felt and integrated, creating greater spaciousness within.

Presence is a practice of noticing your internal state, recognising when you have moved away from yourself and exploring what helps you return.

Can I stay connected to myself amongst the busyness?

This warm and gently embodied gathering may weave together:

• Breath and nervous-system nourishment

• Somatic movement

• Sensory-awareness practices

• Seasonal teaching and reflection

• Guided meditation or visualisation

• Reiki

• Space to receive and integrate

The exact weave will remain spacious and responsive, guided by the central inquiry, the energy of Summer and what is present within the group.

Presence opens the Summer rhythm of The Still Point. It will be followed by Vitality and Vision, while each gathering remains complete in itself and you are always welcome wherever you meet the journey.
