In this module, Olen Gunnlaugson delves into his recent research and work in Dynamic Presencing with an experiential-led process of engaging the four grounds of presence. Building on the change method of Theory U, Dynamic Presencing is an in-depth apprenticeship for developing presencing capacity in your work and life as a whole. As a vehicle for helping presencing take root in your awareness as a core way of being, Dynamic Presencing serves practitioners from a wide range of fields: coaches, leaders, facilitators, change makers, educators, therapists, artists and social innovators.
In this experiential session, Olen illustrates how uncovering and embodying the deeper ground of presence directly informs the We-Space and opens up a powerful inroad for practitioners to access key dimensions of the We together by exploring the territory of the Real, the Witness, Essence, and finally Source. Olen’s precision in activating presence through language makes this module a helpful one for participants who are interested in exploring the depth dimensions of presence as a gateway into a more robust, embodied, and lived into understanding of the We-Space.
