About Us
Heart of Presence is a co-creation of Miriam Kislak and Adam Sippola, a married couple living, creating, and working out of Basel, Switzerland. They offer relational presence, therapeutic skill, soul inspiration, and embodied wisdom, supporting the growth, transformation, and integration of individuals, couples, groups, and organizations. They help you discover the depth of connection and relationship you desire with yourself, others, and the world.
Adam and Miriam are devoted to embracing wholeness, the evolution of consciousness, inner union, and heart-centered, soul-oriented service through love. Together, their union as partners, lovers, and co-creators brings forth a potent relational field that welcomes and inspires truth to emerge layer after layer.
With a shared background in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy and Relatefulness, Miriam and Adam are aligned in a Way of Being that honors the inherent intelligence, wisdom, and sovereignty of each person’s bodyworld, and which also embraces interdependence, collective intelligence, and inter-sovereignty.
They bring a wide range of expertise and experience in bodywork, trauma therapy, soul journeying, relational mindfulness, conscious communication, parts work, shadow work, inner child healing and re-parenting, group facilitation, music, theater, dance, and writing.
They are here to guide and support you in your personal, relational, and transpersonal healing and wholeness.
In Heart of Presence, we encourage and support re-attunement to the inner compass of the heart to know what is true and aligned and right for us as each next step in life – as each next truth to feel and reveal. We support people to listen deeper into their hearts to know where to move in life and how to navigate what is present in their relationships, work, and being.
We invite a return to the simplicity of relating and the interconnectedness of being with all aspects and all parts that are present, visible and invisible, that are at work as we come together with each other to weave the threads of our being and becoming.
Heart of Presence Values
Heart Presence – Alignment with the Essence of Love. Coming into midline awareness and resting in the heart as a bridge of intelligence in the body and a bridge of connection with others.
Authorship – Taking responsibility for our present experience, moving toward choice, freedom, and sovereignty. (This does not mean minimizing or denying the impact of others on our lives.)
Interoception and Embodiment – Practicing body awareness, embodied transmission, and expressing the wisdom of the body.
Curiosity and Attunement – Cultivating openness and wonder as we tune in to the experiences of ourselves and others and explore the known and unknown.
Orientation to Truth – Finding what’s true for us in the present moment. Being with what is.
Surrender to Mystery – Allowing the non-rational, magical, and mysterious nature of reality to unfold through our collective intelligence.
Staying in Relationship – Staying in observing, connective presence with what arises moment to moment in ourselves, each other, and in the relational space between us.
