What we’re about
Welcome to Simplicity of Being, a space dedicated to exploring the clarity and peace that come from resting in the awareness of the present moment.
In a world full of distractions and complexity, this group offers a supportive environment to let go of mental striving and reconnect with the simplicity that is always here. Through guided inquiry, silent reflection, and open sharing, we explore the effortless nature of being—free from the need for intellectual analysis or conceptual frameworks.
We meet weekly in person to explore together.
Whether you’re new to self-inquiry or deeply familiar with practices of presence, this group is for anyone seeking a direct experience of the peace and clarity found in the simplicity of now.
What to Expect:
- Open-ended questions that invite direct presence.
- Silent sitting to ground the group in presence.
- A welcoming space for sharing insights and challenges.
We look forward to exploring presence together with you.
