Shifting Energy: The Gift of Integration & Presence

* Important note: external registration required for this event.

"Be Here Now"?

We all know we’re supposed to be grounded and present. But what does that actually mean? And how do we get there when our minds are constantly wandering — replaying conversations from last week, rehearsing scenarios that haven’t happened yet, or just disassociating entirely via social media or scrolling through endless mental to-do lists?
In this experiential session, we’ll explore:

• The energetics of “time tripping”: Why our attention so easily drifts to past memories or future worries, and what this costs us in terms of vitality and presence.
• The spacious present moment: What it feels like to actually arrive in the now — not as a concept, but as a direct experience.
• A guided practice for entering presence: A simple, accessible technique you can use anytime to return to the here and now.

Depending on the group and how time flows, we may also explore:

• unexpected risks that can come up when we travel back into past traumas
• how being right here, right now can be a stepping stone towards being “nowhere, in no time”

I’ll do my best to go light on information, and focus more on experience. The intention is to create a space for inner experience designed to help you feel the difference between a scattered, time-traveling mind versus being your whole self, fully alive in the present.

Who This Is For

• You’re curious about consciousness and inner development
• You’ve read about or tried mindfulness practices, and are open to developing your inner experiences
• You find yourself frequently lost in thought — past or future — and want practical tools to come back to center
• You appreciate in-person, human connection in an increasingly digital world

NOTE: External registration required: https://rogeroney.as.me/gift-of-presence-event $10 payable by credit card or paypal.

RSVP here on MeetUp will help the group be more discoverable, but is not sufficient to attend the event. (I'll work on better approach for this for future events.)
