Workshop: An Exploration of Grounded Presence

By Ruth Friedman and Lara Peumans

Brussels: 29 June 2016

What does it mean to be really present; grounded in your self and in your environment; the whole of you, really here?

What happens when two people meet in a grounded way and open up to explore the question “How can I be ‘me here’, in this situation right now, in connection with ‘you there’?”

During this interactive, participatory workshop we will explore how each of us can find a sense of our own grounded presence. Ruth and Lara will invite you to experience this way of being, and to explore what happens in our connection with each other, when the whole of me is here with the whole of you.

Come along to the workshop to find out more.

Grounded Presence is a term that comes from Relational Whole Body Focusing and we will draw on this method during the workshop.
