About Simon

Presence, the quintessence that can be distilled from all the three paradigms of Mindfulness, Focusing and NVC has been a passion of mine since the time I taught myself meditation from Roshi Phillip Kapleau’s book 'The three pillars of Zen' in 1986.

Through a process of trial and error with these presence-based approaches I have gained balance, clarity and deep meaning in my life.

I am inspired to share what has proven to work, (personally, in business, education, government and charities) through these approaches offered here on Living Presence.

I believe there is nothing under the sun that can stop you from realising the longing in your heart into the calmest and creative version of you. These Presence approaches offer the catalyst and matrix for deep and profound transformation.
