Learn To Be A 'Teacher of Presence'

A 12 Month Training Program at Yellow Rock Sanctuary.

Starting September 2026.

Marcus McKeown &

Guest Speakers.

A Teacher of Presence reflects the truth that nothing is missing within you, dismantling the illusion of needing to "become" something.

 

Unlike conventional teachers, they don’t offer methods or answers but guide you to realize that Truth is already present. This path isn’t about self-improvement but seeing through the false self and conditioned beliefs. Presence isn’t attained; it’s recognized when seeking stops. The journey involves letting go of mental constructs, embracing stillness and embodying direct experience. Mystics like Rumi, Laozi and St. Teresa of Ávila walked this path, pointing to the boundless nature of Truth.

 

This training integrates practices like meditation, breathwork and body awareness to anchor Presence. A session with a Teacher of Presence is simple: sitting in stillness, allowing clarity to arise naturally. If you’re ready to stop seeking and recognize the perfection of the present moment, this is your invitation. Presence is not something to achieve—it’s who you already are.
