Beyond emotional intelligence, this experiential workshop invites participants to explore presence as the essential and vitalizing element at the heart of being, the potent force animating the full spectrum of human development from personal to professional. The transforming power of presence in human development and vital relationships will be explored and embodied through lecture, inner practice, exercises, panel work in the Narrative Tradition, and guided interactions. This workshop will be especially useful to therapists, counselors, spiritual guides, and coaches.
