Abstract

Drawing from the recent developments of Dynamic Presencing Coaching (Gunnlaugson, 2024a, 2024b, forthcoming; Proches, C. et al., 2024), I introduce a framework outlining an embodied, phenomenological and ontological-based (EPO) approach to cultivating new forms and expressions of presencing mastery. Through each of the three EPO dimensions of practice, it becomes possible to effectively immerse in, embody and transform one’s way of navigating the depth regions of presencing coaching as an emerging frontier of mastery practice.
