Practicing Presence

Practicing Presence offers guidance for a way to step back from what’s happening and view it as story, metaphor, and pattern — allowing perspective to surface without over-processing or trying to “fix” anything, but perhaps understanding it differently — and adds a dash of fun.

Book or movie?
Hallmark movie… or Home renovation show?

(Orientation: Reading life like a narrative already unfolding)

What this is

This work helps people recognize where they are in a bigger picture frame, what themes are at play, how to use it for your own learning, and what may be quietly reorganizing beneath the surface — so clarity, coherence, and next steps arise naturally.

I like to think of it this way: When you have the Foundations and you apply it to what's showing up in life, then you become more aware of what to notice differently and thereby have more Presence/capacity for what you can bring to the moment and what it requires.

This offering is for you if…

  • you sense there’s a story unfolding but can’t quite see it yet

  • you’re more curious than stuck, but still need orientation

  • reflection feels more useful than advice right now

  • you want to understand what’s taking shape — without forcing meaning

  • you’re open to noticing differently through tools like metaphor, narrative, or imagery

How I work (Methodology)

My approach is mosaic-based. I listen for key fragments, notice emerging patterns, and help language land before it becomes over-edited or overly explanatory.

Much like a chef selects from a myriad of spices on the shelf, I’m scanning through the myriad of spice jars I have of interdisciplinary connections and dotted breadcrumbs of drop-ins and pop-ups, of experience recognition, and strategic questions for clarification and flavour clues.

By creating enough space and perspective, meaning often organizes itself naturally — much like watching a storyline unfold rather than forcing a conclusion in the moment.

How this connects

Often a starting point that opens the door to deeper learning, creative practice, or structured integration.

Be Here, On Purpose

Learning to see what’s already happening.

Teaching/Mentoring focuses on developing pattern recognition — how personal history, sensitivity, environment, timing, and attention interact over time.
This work is suited for people who are already perceptive, thoughtful, or creatively inclined, and want clearer frameworks for what they intuitively sense, or perhaps for understanding/helping others in their lives with similar qualities.

This includes:

·         Highly observant or sensitive individuals

·         Educators, creatives, caregivers, and integrators

·         People who think relationally rather than linearly

·         Those who want language and structure for what they already notice
