“The more presence you are the more you give others the freedom to be present. Taking responsibility from our own presence gives life to the presence in another.”
– Kristie Ellison
"I cheat on presence. I find myself having an affair with other priorities instead of being exclusive to presence.”
–Ronnie Gatrey
Note. You will get the most from this episode if you download the free e-book “The Connoisseur of Time” and complete the “Listening” self-assessment. It takes 5 to 10 minutes.
Building upon previous “Connoisseur of Time” podcasts, this and the previous episode supports listeners in completing the “Listening” exercise (pages 19-23). This is the first of dozens of contemplative exercises in the Quest for Presence collection. “Listening” sets the stage for everything else to come. So, listeners are encouraged to download the free e-book and review the very brief “Listen” chapter (pages 19-23).
This episode has both Kristie and Ronnie sharing their experience of Art’s working through the exercise and sharing their own experience. Most importantly, we learn that there is a great range of experiences when it comes to one’s attitude toward time.
Ronnie (Practitioner) talks about setting a boundary to create more time and the need to be more effective in managing time (Self-accountability). Kristie (Seeker) talks about her soul work that has led her to be much more in the moment than previously in her life. At the same time, there is some anxiety. “Presence gets scary so it is easy to be busy.”

Quest for Presence: Returning the Soul to Wellness with Joel Bennett, Organizational Wellness & Learning Systems
SESSION DESCRIPTION
The perceived lack of time is often the most significant barrier to engaging and sustaining wellness practices (as persons, workplaces, and cultures). Burn-out, stress, compassion fatigue, lack of psychological safety, toxic culture—much of this is due to time pressure and a misunderstanding of the skillful applications of time management. It’s time to return to the soul to wellness. This intensive is primarily for personal contemplation and renewal, and the soulful capacities can inform wellness activities in diverse settings (from coaching to team wellness).
