‘We are always in the moment but seldom focused on it’

- James Clear

Practising Presence

A six week course that explores ways to cultivate presence in our everyday lives.

Bringing your attention to the ‘here and now’ is a way to calm the overthinking mind, reduce stress and anxiety, improve communication and relationships, manage pain and illness, bringing peace into your everyday life.  

  • ‘What a lovely way to spend a Tuesday evening. The relaxed participants were a reflection of the calm/ Zen atmosphere Anja creates.'

  • “Anja's appreciative and open way of listening and supporting me, has helped me realise that I have a choice about where I direct my focus. I am more able to pause in everyday life and choose a positive feeling such as joy. This makes my life increasingly lighter and happier. I always look forward to the next session.”

  • ‘I feel less stressed and experience more joy in my life. A light bulb moment for me was when I became aware of my internal resistance. It made me realise how this resistance stops me from being fully present in the moment and holds me back from addressing negative and challenging aspects in life.’
