Presence is the hidden key to successful leadership. The more present we are in ourselves, the more present we can be with someone else. This month-long program offers experiential work designed to help you pay attention to the subtle cues you receive from your body and the surrounding environment all the time.

Learning to build this capacity within your navigational field enables you to have feelings and learn from them.
Please bring a journal for reflection time and notes, as well as a binder for handouts. Included study guide: Copyright Healing From the Core®
