Presence Isn’t Perfect, It’s Honest

"Being present doesn’t mean having it all together. It means showing up anyway."

This month, we’re diving into presence - but not the curated, Instagrammable kind. We’re talking about the unfiltered, uncomfortable, deeply human version of presence. The kind that shows up in a messy room, a restless body, or a tear-filled savasana.

Because somewhere along the way, presence got tangled up in perfection. As if you have to be calm, grounded, and spiritually polished to be “in the moment.”

Let’s be real: sometimes presence is gritty. It’s raw. It’s choosing to stay when every part of you wants to numb, run, or pretend.

What Real Presence Looks Like:

🌀 Feeling distracted and still coming back to your breath.
😵‍ You forgot your affirmations—but you made it to your mat. 💬 Holding eye contact even when it’s uncomfortable.
🌧️ Letting yourself cry without needing to explain.

Presence isn’t about performance, it’s about permission.

How Retreats Help You Practice Unfiltered Presence

At REESET, our retreats are built for people who are tired of pretending they’re fine. You don’t have to fake bliss, hide your overwhelm, or pretend to be enlightened.

You can:

  • Sit in silence and feel everything.

  • Share your truth in circle and be witnessed.

  • Leave your phone off and finally land in your body.

Presence is the soft power that changes everything. It doesn’t ask for perfection. Just honesty.

And when we stop chasing the perfect moment, we actually get to experience the real one.

This September, we’re choosing presence. Not performance.
