For Presence to arise in a session, it is important that ‘Sheryl the person’ steps aside. However, you might want to know a bit more about me, in relation to these sessions. Practicing Presence became a central part in my life, when I started to listen to the teachings of Eckhart Tolle. His teachings are the foundation of what I offer.
In 2018 I was led to purchase Eckhart’s 10-hr retreat recording ‘The Journey Into Yourself’. I could hardly put it down. I remember laughing so much at the many ways he described the ego at play, as I clearly recognized my own. It was such a relief and a beautiful invitation of Life to become free. Free of my suffering and limited sense of self.
Countless (audio)books and courses – by other teachers as well – followed on my spiritual journey, which went hand in hand with my healing journey. This healing journey started a little earlier, after I suffered a severe burnout in 2014, but accelerated since 2018. To me, the most profound teachings remained those of Eckhart Tolle. As well as the channeled work ‘A Course In Miracles’.
A transformation took place from a fearful person that was very preoccupied with ‘doing’ and ‘achieving’ as much and as fast as she could, in order to validate her worth, to a more embodied being who now enjoys a slower pace and feels a great sense of joy and peace, without the need to achieve and with a better understanding of who I truly am.
By no means do I now consider myself fully healed or consistently present. There is more to learn, undo and practice. But I know there is enough Presence awareness in me to share it with those whom Life puts on my path.
In 2023 I completed ‘The Eckhart Tolle School of Awakening: Becoming a Teacher of Presence’. This was a five-month training I initially took on for my own deepening of Presence. It soon became clear to me that I was also called to share Presence in a more formal setting. That’s how this website and service gradually came to life.
It is my wish to serve you in a way that supports and honors your own journey home to Self. In serving you, I serve Life, and it is my greatest pleasure.
