AWARENESS: THE PRESENCE EXPERIENCE
Our presence is our greatest gift in life, in our relationships and in our connection to the sacred. Yet our presence is easily diminished by our lack of awareness.

We will recognise that it is in the experience of presence that we relate to others and the depth and happiness we long for.
