The Presence Process – Women’s Workshop begins
January 11 @ 9:00 AM – 10:30 AM
WHAT: This is a 15-week journey through The Presence Process, a book that provides clear framework for using the breath to surface and release suppressed emotional imprints, thereby increasing embodied authenticity, empowered responsiveness, and — you guessed it — Presence.
WHO: Women with ACA experience. As with the Traits Workbook, prior completion of the ACA 12 steps is strongly recommended.
WHEN: Sundays at 9AM, January 11 – April 19 (15 weeks), CLOSED after January 18. After completion, segueing into an open women’s ACA meeting at the same time/location.
WHERE: In-person only at 104-B South Park Way, Santa Cruz (affectionally known as The Barn). This is the building behind the home at 104 South Park Way; enter via the courtyard off Agnes Street.
Book: The Presence Process: A Journey into Present Moment Awareness by Michael Brown, Revised Edition – June 22, 2010
From page 26: “When we enter The Presence Process, we begin moving from doing to being, looking to seeing, hearing to listening… reacting to responding, inauthenticity to authenticity, fragmentation to integration…to experiencing present moment awareness.”
Format: Book study and discussion, in-class instruction, breathwork at home
Cost: By donation, to meet the cost of materials and rent
Contact: Clarissa at 509-528-7010
This process is ideal for ACA women who:
a) have a spiritual foundation, an inner loving parent, and some understanding of trauma (having completed the 12 steps of ACA)
b) seek to deepen their authenticity and spiritual awareness
c) have the capacity to give and receive support, with self and others
d) want to weave and commit to a closed circle of women for 15 weeks
