Presence is key to being together - we are all sometimes distracted and mentally elsewhere. We teach people to become aware of themselves so that they can become more focused on the person they are with. In this way people can appreciate the gift of giving another person their full attention.

We refer to the wisdom which has developed around the value of Mindfulness and we learn simple techniques for being fully present in one place at a time, moment to moment. This creates the potential for people to learn more about themselves and the person they are with. We invite people to cultivate 'beginner's mind' which means that people are together more fully with no assumptions or judgements.
