Loving Presence is a way of being. Ron Kurtz described it as pleasant, good for your health, and rewarding in and of itself. It is a state in which the heart naturally opens through appreciation, and we become genuinely interested in another person’s experience. This workshop offers a practical, experiential approach to cultivating this quality of presence, helping you develop a way of relating that leaves both speaker and listener feeling seen, understood, comforted, and refreshed.
Loving presence is often understood as holding the intention of being loving toward others; Hakomi illuminates this concept by introducing intentional appreciation. This added element transforms effort to effortlessness, and creates a flowering rooted in the soil of intention, the intention to focus on appreciating something about another, about one’s self.
Loving presence empowers us to meet the big, wild world, most of it beyond our control, with great curiosity, care, and positive intent.
This two-day module includes study, experiential exercises, and partner practice. This training is offered online via Zoom.

Sunday, Oct 4 | 12:00 PM–5:00 PM CT
