Autumn Weekend 2025
Presence and Purpose
At The Norton Park Conference Hotel
Near Winchester, Hampshire, UK
10-12 October
Everyone knows their presence, but most don't know that they know it because it's unconscious in them. If you're not conscious of your presence, your purpose in life will slip into 'aims and goals'. Your real purpose is only known now, in presence. So, to live more conciously is to know your presence and your purpose at any moment. This weekend we will practise being conscious of presence and discover a more real purpose to life. That's to say, you'll reconnect with whatever is most meaningful to you, with an innocence you've maybe forgotten, or never before realised.
“For all the help, love and deep encouragement, and the strength of truth and purpose that I received during your weekend, for what you are, and the other people, and the whole happening of the event, I can only say I am deeply grateful. It had so much value for my life that I cannot measure it in any way.”
