PRESENCEThe Biology of Availability

Presence is often understood as attention, calmness, or simply being in the moment. This presentation explores a different possibility: that presence is a biological availability to what is here. Through simple experiences, neuroscience, and clinical observation, we will explore how history, significance, state, and perception shape what becomes available to us — and how our availability influences what becomes possible when two people meet. Participants will be invited not simply to learn about presence, but to experience it.

Dr. Steven Ruden is a co-developer of Havening Techniques® and an international educator exploring the neuroscience of human experience and adaptive change. His work examines how sensory information, biological state, and relationship influence perception, accessibility, and adaptive flexibility.

The Double Duty of Care

You know you can help people, and you also know that people not knowing what you know — and how you can help them — is not much use to anyone, you or them. You owe them a duty of care to bring what you can do for them to their attention.

You also know you need to be able to earn a living doing what you do helping people, and you also know that pricing is painful for you and your customers — awkward, even. Yet if you don't price your services right, you'll never earn a living. You owe you a duty of care in this respect too. It needn't be this way. In this talk I will show you some ways through these dilemmas.
