The Art of Being Present

After years of studying spirituality, exploring different practices, and working with so many people on their own spiritual journeys, I’ve come to believe that there is one thing underneath it all: presence.

Being present to our lives. Being present to ourselves. Being present to the people we love and to all the little moments of beauty, wonder, and magic happening around us every day.

And yet, being present isn’t always easy! Our minds are constantly taking us somewhere else. We’re thinking about what happened yesterday, worrying about tomorrow, replaying a conversation, making a list, or wondering what’s next. Sometimes we can be so busy thinking about our lives that we forget to actually live them.

That’s what we’ll explore together in The Art of Being Present, our next Wisdom Circle.

We’ll meet every other Tuesday for seven gatherings and use Eckhart Tolle’s classic book The Power of Now as our inspiration. But this won’t be a traditional book club. We’ll take the ideas from the book and bring them into our everyday lives through meditation, reflection, simple practices, and lots of conversation.

We’ll notice what pulls us out of the present moment, explore what helps us come back, and discover what happens when we give ourselves permission to slow down and simply be where we are.

🌙 Why Join? A Wisdom Circle is so much more than a book discussion; it’s a chance to step away from the busyness of everyday life and spend some time together exploring something meaningful. It’s a place to talk, listen, laugh, reflect, meditate, share what’s really going on, and learn from each other. The Art of Being Present is for you if you’re ready to spend less time searching for the next answer and more time experiencing the life that is happening.
