Presence as an Act of Compassion and Love

Mindful presence is the necessary ground of compassion and care. With presence, we courageously enter an intimacy that connects us with ourselves, each other and the world, body, heart and spirit.

The beautiful truth is that presence and love can grow and blossom through the practices of meditation and mindful loving awareness. Let’s join together to do this, with teachings, meditation, and heartfelt sharing!
