Relational Presencing

Embody. Awaken. Heal. Evolve.

Relational Presencing is an integrative and adaptable group process of bringing presence to the personal, interpersonal, and transpersonal dimensions of our lives. Rooted in the understanding that we are inherently interconnected, Relational Presencing calls us to embody loving awareness in connection while cultivating our capacity to host, witness, be with, and integrate relational experience.

This pioneering process at the confluence of the relational, creative, and healing arts fosters authentic connection, relational growth, awakening, creativity, and embodied wholeness. It supports individual, relational, ancestral, and collective healing while inviting us to mindfully engage with the beauty and complexity of our shared human experience.

Domains and Pathways

Relational Presencing weaves together diverse domains of relational engagement and specific pathways of exploration in support of a relational field where we can deepen in presence and relational maturity. We’re invited on a collective journey to expand awareness, heal fragmentation, embody heart-centered leadership, and participate in life more fully.

Practices

The carefully developed practices of Relational Presencing provide intentional structures and formats for group exploration of the various domains and pathways. Through facilitated and guided relational and contemplative processes, participants cultivate attunement to self, others, and the collective field. These practices invite an ongoing dialogue between inner awareness and relational engagement and offer contexts for the co-digesting and integration of collective material.

Some practices center on inner presence, supporting participants in deepening interoception, grounding, self-witnessing, and inner union. Others emphasize relational presence, exploring authentic sharing, mindful and embodied communication, and the subtle dynamics of relating. Certain practices engage the intelligence of life in the body through presence-based touch, supporting nervous system settling and the integration of fragmentation. Others draw on the potency of collective presence, where the group field becomes a space of resource, shared insight, creative emergence.

During brief sessions or extended immersions, each Relational Presencing process focuses on specific domains, pathways, and practices to guide the group’s journey with intentionality and openness. This structural flexibility allows for co-creating experiences that nurture individual and collective potential.

Whether individually, in pairs, triads, small groups, or larger collective settings, the practices provide a dynamic foundation for healing, transformation, and the unfolding of deeper relational wisdom. They invite us to rest in the ground of Being, remember wholeness, and cultivate presence in our daily lives and wider service in the world.

Practices include: Inner Presence Meditation. Relational Presence Meditation. Grounding Practices. Presencing Essentials. Conscious Conflict Practices. Presence Touch & Collective Presence Touch. Personal, Portal, Progressive, Creative, & Collective Presencing Practices.

The Ground of Being and the Web of Life

We recognize that our inner realities, including our sensations, emotions, thoughts, qualities of awareness, patterns, beliefs, and more, are not isolated but deeply interwoven with the relational, cultural, and ecological systems in which we live. As we cultivate inner presence and embrace the full spectrum of our inner worlds, we embody a wholeness that ripples outward, expanding our capacity to engage authentically with others, navigate complex dynamics, and contribute meaningfully to the larger systems that sustain us. Relational Presencing widens presence from a personal experience into a relational and systemic offering, creating fertile ground for collective healing and transformation.

When we rest in the ground of Being - an open and grounded state of embodied awareness that reveals our intrinsic belonging with the Web of Life - the illusion of separateness dissolves, awakening us to the truth that we are Earth, inherently woven into its living systems and evolutionary flow. From this embodied understanding, we are called to engage life through a lens of reciprocity, care, responsibility, and integrity, tending to relationships at every level: within ourselves, with one another, and with the greater whole. This is the practice of active being - where the living stillness of inner presence informs conscious action through relational presence and where every moment offers an opportunity to align with the deeper wisdom of the mystery of life.

The Domains and Pathways of Relational Presencing

Mindful and Embodied Relating balances authentic self-expression with attunement to the interpersonal, fostering meaningful contact and relational maturity. We align inner presence and body wisdom with group dynamics and emergent dialogue. We co-create spaces for aliveness, transformative connection, and the unfolding of relational wholeness.

Relational Artistry embraces the co-creative intelligence that emerges through artistic exploration, inviting us to craft relational spaces that are alive, inspired, and transformative. When we connect consciously through the creative arts, we open to the flow of innovation and inspiration, carrying us into new and sparkling futures of collective possibility.

The core practice of Presence Touch has the potential to humbly teach us deep truths about relating and touching from the heart and is one of the most potent ways to make direct contact with the flow of Life and the pulse of Love. Touch in Community connects multiple pathways throughout Relational Presencing, including attunement, boundaries, consent, resonance, and somatic awareness.

Symbol and Soul Connection

This domain opens a doorway to the mystery and depth of existence by exploring archetypes, symbols, and universal patterns. By engaging with myth, ritual, dream, spirituality, and soul-centered practices, we attune to the undercurrents of life, awakening a deeper awareness of our mycelial interconnectedness. Symbol and Soul Connection bridges the tangible and the transcendent, inviting us to embody wisdom from the personal and collective unconscious. Through this domain, we traverse the landscapes of soul and spirit, bringing symbolic insights into the relational field to catalyze personal and collective transformation.

Relating to Systems and Ecology

Recognizing that we are both influenced by and co-creators of these systems, we engage in practices that cultivate attunement to cultural, ecological, and systemic dynamics. This perspective calls for adaptive and inclusive relational approaches that honor diversity, complexity, and interdependence. By weaving these broader contexts into our presence, we deepen our capacity to engage responsibly and creatively with the living Web of Life.

Community Healing

This domain centers on the remembrance of wholeness within individuals, relationships, communities, and collectives, recognizing that healing is at once deeply personal and inherently communal. By embodying compassionate, non-doing presence and attuning to the deeper rhythms and currents of life, we co-create spaces for personal and relational healing. We embrace the paradox that stuckness and fragmentation can be transmuted into flow and wholeness when we let go of a desire to fix or heal, allowing what is wounded to be washed in presence. Community Healing holds our collective being and becoming, grounding us in our shared humanity and our embedment in and as the Earth.
