Embodied presence supports us in maintaining or returning to a Focusing attitude - open, curious, and welcoming. For all of us, there are times when this is quite challenging. Whether in a spiritual tradition or in any other context, embodied presence reminds us of the Focusing attitude, often opening the door to "the larger space."

When sensing: support of the earth, breathing and tuned to our external situation, a Focusing attitude is reliably available. We notice when openness, curiosity, and welcoming are present or if we have slipped into defensiveness, control, or fear. Embodied presence is a learnable capacity. In this seminar, through both theory and practice, we will strengthen this way of Being.
