Healing Presence is the ability to be entirely present and hold a place of compassion and equanimity for others, without intent,
or investment in and attachment to outcome.
Healing Presence creates a nurturing space for each individual to process and heal in the way and at the speed that is
appropriate for them. It creates an experience where both parties are fed by the interaction, preventing feelings of burn-out
and toxicity.
The goal of learning to be a Healing Presence is to:
- develop an understanding of the dispassionate nature of compassion,
- develop skills to be able to embody these skills, and
- apply them appropriately to a variety of environments.
Healing Presence also directly confronts the furtive, subtle dangers of the ego and of investment in the outcome of our
interactions with others.
Cultivating the Healing Presence is unique in its practical approach and its way of using our own body responses as a
guideline to know when we are in a state of Healing Presence, when we are not, and how to get there.
The use of body sense is employed as a reliable and readily available gauge for perceiving the state of well-being, dispassion
and calm characteristic of Healing Presence. In addition, these tools can be used for regulating oneself in relationship to
situations and individuals for creating a healing presence.
This work is profound, unique, powerful and incredibly necessary. I am excited to share it with others.
Classes in Cultivating the Healing Presence are an interactive experience offering guidance to anyone who desires a more
constructive way to engage with others in their life. It is of great use to those in the helping professions, providing a
fresh outlook on their work.
Cultivating the Healing Presence is an opportunity to develop techniques and approaches which assist you in embodying
the principle that a compassionate presence is a positive act of healing.
Instruction uses a variety of exercises, meditations and activities, as we explore such concepts as emotional resonance,
reaction vs. response, ego investment, development of compassion and loving-kindness, and adjusting relationship to physical
and energetic surroundings to facilitate the creation of a genuine healing presence.
Taught by body/mind therapy professional, Kate Sciandra, Healing Presence can be mind-blowing, affecting, and deeply satisfying.
It provides practical knowledge that can be immediately put to use for more effectiveness in work offering support for ourself
and others.
