Living Presence Retreat Day: A journey towards authentic connection
What is Living Presence?
Living Presence is an experiential retreat designed for individuals to explore authenticity and deepen self awareness in a supportive group setting.
Living Presence is a co-created group space where we each give ourselves permission to explore being more authentic. Discover our own depths, and learn how we are experienced by others. It is based on a shared commitment to meet together and participate in a lightly structured, spontaneous process. In which, whatever emerges, allows each of us to experiment and grow in awareness.
What you can expect
- A safe space: Everyone is encouraged to express their thoughts and feelings openly
- Structured yet flexible: Activities may include check ins, open sharing, experiential exercises and mindfulness practices.
- Personal growth: Learn about yourself through your interactions and reflections.

Dear Mike,
Thank you for your interest in Living Presence. Apologies for the delay in reply. I had a problem with my website that I hadn’t noticed. If you are interested there will be another retreat day on the same topic in September. Provisionally Sat 27th. So pencil the date in and I will be in touch again when it is more concrete. Kind regards Rachael
Hi Rachael
