Summary
What does it mean to become truly present and why does it matter? In this midday Sunday session, we will explore radical presence, a state of being that understands that there is only–and only ever will be–the here and now. To enter radical presence means to grapple with how we self-exile: all the ways we absence our body, parts of our world, and even our life itself. We will consider how returning to the body, the moment and all the conditions of our life begins to restore a reliable refuge that has always been here, an eternal version of time.
