Facilitator: Tatiana Castellanos
Tatiana came to Canada from Colombia 14 years ago and made Montreal a new home. She is passionate about culture, art, human behaviour, social interactions, wellness and healing. Tatiana believes that creative expression is a key to self awareness and it is through the path of self exploration that she found meditation and yoga. For several years she has worked facilitating art workshops for children and adults and has had the opportunity to see the impact of artistic expression and the practice of meditation has in people’s life and health. While doing this work and cultivating her own mediation and yoga practice, she found the interrelationship between the two. Tatiana believes creating art is another way to access a meditative state of mind and benefit from the healing it brings. This experience motivated her to work towards the goal of making this medley of practices available to people, and offer it to their everyday lives. Tatiana has MBSR training from Respira in Colombia as well as the CFM at UMass Medical School, completed a 200hr YTT at Naada Yoga in Montreal, and continues to deepen her practice via retreats the Insight Meditation Society in Massachusetts and Spirit Rock in California.

Originaire de la Colombie, Tatiana choisit il y a 14 ans de faire de Montréal son nouveau port d'attache. Elle est passionnée par la culture, l'art et par l'humain: ses comportements, sa santé et son bien-être. Tatiana croit que le développement de soi s'exprime par la création et ces expériences passées l'ont menées naturellement à découvrir les bien-faits du yoga et de la méditation. C'est à travers sa propre pratique qu'elle découvre le lien entre l'art et la méditation. Durant plusieurs années, elle élabore différents ateliers pour adultes et enfants qui mélangent donc ces deux disciplines et lui font réaliser l'impact bénéfique que ce mélange a sur la vie et la santé des gens. Tatiana croit en effet que nous pouvons atteindre un état méditatif à travers la création artistique et ceci la motive à faire découvrir cette pratique aux gens dans le but d'améliorer leur vie quotidienne. Tatiana possède une formation MBSR et participe périodiquement à différentes retraites.

Why are we so hard on ourselves? We all try to hide it, but if you scratch the surface it's as if our society is plagued by an unhealthy hatred of the self. Through meditation and insights gleaned from various Western wisdom traditions, this class will give you techniques and practices to build a new loving relationship with yourself.

The word solstice means ‘the point at which the sun stands still.’ Of course that stillness doesn’t last long. Tomorrow it begins to swing back in the other direction but is there a better metaphor for meditation? Take the sun as your shining example today and find some stillness in a world that’s constantly on the move. 🌞

Bittersweet morning sit today as we send off James who’s headed to LA for 6 weeks. James has been sitting here almost every day since we opened in September and his presence in the mornings will be missed. Here’s what he has to say about his time at the studio so far:
“On the surface this has been the most challenging year of my life by a long shot: from crazy work/money stress, to challenging family issues (I'm a father of 2 boys under 6 trying to make my living as an artist.. nuff said), to watching one of my closest friends crumble from cancer. But somehow I've been able to face the intensity of it in a way I would not previously have thought possible. This past winter was the first in 6 years that I haven't been crushed by seasonal depression. I'm fairly certain it has something to do with making meditation a clockwork daily group activity. I had a solo meditation practice for a number of years prior to coming to Presence, but approaching it in a scheduled way with a group of kind, interesting people has been transformative. Thank you Andrew & the whole Presence gang!”
James is planning on sitting with at Against the Stream while in LA. Say hi if you see him.

Facilitator: Jonathan Stewart
Jonathan Stewart is a Montreal freelance writer and editor who's been meditating in different traditions for 20 years. He's meditated and studied everywhere from Christian monasteries to a variety of Buddhist retreats, and he's taken the MBSR course to see it all from a secular perspective. His primary passion is the Western Wisdom Traditions and he has an undergrad in Religious Studies and is a seminarian studying in an Esoteric and Gnostic community. He lives in the Mile End with his wonderful wife and his 14 pound cat and he's trying to get more into yoga even though he's convinced himself he can't bend that way.

The space is open and bright and sitting with someone leading the meditation keeps me focused, I just can't do it very well at home by myself. It's really nice.
I highly recommend dropping in to try, even if you have never meditated before.
I have now also joined a 6 week program on Wednesdays, and I am connecting to a new group of like-minded, compassionate people.response / report this review -

The spacious, gentle atmosphere at Presence is delightful and relaxing. I like the choice of daily guided meditations or just sitting, with different morning, afternoon or evening sessions allowing for particular styles of meditation. The community is easy going and friendly, and it has helped me get in regular practice. I recommend this centre to beginners or more seasoned practitioners.
