"I have gained an ability to just be in the present more than I have in a very long time, if not ever. It is a work in progress, but my work with Adam has given me tools and language which have helped me immensely."
— Amy H. course participant, Spring 2020
Introduction
We’ve all had fleeting moments of connection, being, or what may feel like an unfiltered aliveness—free from our typical interpretations, preferences, defenses, and struggles.
These moments are tastes of something precious and natural within us. There are many words that uniquely refer to this state of consciousness, like presence, being, awareness, love, and more.
We can deepen our relationship with this innate presence and discover how it supports every aspect of life—self, relationships, work, and beyond. And while books or podcasts can be helpful, there is something especially powerful that happens when we learn and practice together.
A Path to Presence is an experiential course inviting you to radically reorient towards everyday life, reduce stress and difficulty, and awaken to greater ease, joy, wisdom, and love. The teachings provide a clear, cohesive map supporting you to enter a rhythm within community for eight weeks—no matter how busy life may be. You will learn to make room for your deepest intelligence to inform everything that you do.
The structure of the course is based on the recognition that our inner lives and innate wisdom develop gradually—a bit like a slow cooker recipe. We might have no idea what’s happening at first and may even feel doubtful, but with time and consistent application, we eventually detect a wonderful aroma.
The learning and benefits grow from a “gentle yet steady” commitment to daily meditation, mindfulness, self-inquiry, and reflection.
This course is open to beginners and dabblers in meditation and/or contemplative practices as well as to experienced practitioners seeking to deepen their practice. All are welcome.

The Wednesday night sessions offer a chance to receive the benefit of guided practice, teachings, and community. Sessions include thirty minutes of guided meditation, small and large group discussion based on a weekly theme, and occasional brief talks or presentations.

Part of what makes this course so powerful is the community that grows among everyone in it.
