Product Description

Learn the seven ways to tap into a state of pure joy, at any time, with up-and-coming spiritual teacher Catherine Ingram.

• Passionate Presence takes the reader on a journey of the heart that is an immediate experience of seven awakened qualities: silence, tenderness, embodiment, genuineness, discernment, delight and, finally, wonder.

• These qualities are based on the author’s observations over years of working with thousands of people in silent retreats and public interactive events (Dharma Dialogues).

• In developing our capacity to deeply relax and simply ‘be’, a natural intelligence emerges, regardless of genes, IQ or age: an intelligence of the heart, completely free from dogma, ideology or religion.

• Catherine Ingram demonstrates that we can all have access to this powerful, pure state of being – this passionate presence – without formal meditation practice or a spiritual teacher.
