Your present was made in the past. Your future is created....

... NOT by what you do tomorrow but…

…by what you do and don’t do today
…by what you say and don’t say today
…by what you see and feel and think today
… by what you miss, deny, ignore, distort today

Presence-in-Action (TM) is for leaders, coaches, supervisors, health professionals, parents, students - in fact it is for EVERYONE committed to doing something to change themselves, their lives, their relationships, their prospects.

What you learn, will equip you to act wisely, wholeheartedly and joyfully in all aspects of your life.

You will learn to use the P6 Constellation as a Presence-in-action map to assist you in deepening and extending your efficacy and artistry in and with life. Through practice you will become better able to see, adapt, communicate and take coherent action in any circumstances. You will develop the wherewithal to get unstuck and to liberate yourself into flow. With practice you will find yourself ever more skilled in navigating the complexities and challenges you face, whatever the context. For practitioners working with others, you will quite literally find your personal and professional practice increasingly transformed by the insights you gain.

Irrespective of your roles in life, this programme will open up new ways of seeing, understanding and being in the world. It will deliver joys and surprises; it will be challenging and sometimes a bit confusing. This is the nature of learning. It will call on each of you to let go of what you think you know in order to discover what is currently beyond sight or reach. Through this process you will find yourselves increasingly liberated from the fictions that bind and blind you - that prevent you being and becoming your full potential.

During our time together we will make connections between ancient wisdoms and new sciences - helping you to connect to wider patterns in nature and the wider world. We will...

...dive deep and stretch high

...reach outwards and touch inwards

...explore what happens within and between us

...engage lovingly and boldly with our deepest selves

...experiment with ancient wisdom and embodied knowhow

...play wholly and wholeheartedly as ourselves, in action together

...connect where the sacred meets the systemic within, between and beyond

Throughout our time together, we will share, experience, reflect, play, practice and learn together. I will introduce you to models, frameworks and theories that can help you make sense of your experiences and insights. You will engage in solo work, paired practice and whole group activities. We will take advantage of all our senses and sense-making - using our bodies, minds and spirits, not in isolation but as the integrated whole beings that we are.
