Presence Collective is delighted to announce that our teachers will be offering live webinars each Monday and Thursday. These sessions will include a teaching and practice designed to help support you during these challenging and uncertain times.  


Join us Thursday, May 21st from 2-3:00PM PST (5-6:00PM EST) for our next webinar with Dr. Sará King. She will be offering a meditation and discussion on “Opening Up To Well-Being and Post-Traumatic Growth.”

In this seminar we will explore the relationship between well-being and post-traumatic growth through writing, meditation, and mindful movement. Please bring a notepad of your choice that you can jot your thoughts down on. There will be the option to share what we discover within the group, while exercising and strengthening our capacity to be receptive, compassionate, and to practice mindful listening. Please also bring whatever you need to be as comfortable in your seated meditation as possible, such as blankets or cushions.

These webinars are offered by donation. No one will be turned away due to lack of funds.
