DYNAMIC PRESENCING COACHING

Beyond Letting Go and Letting Come

Abstract

Emerging from the ontological gesture of Letting Be—first articulated in the development of Dynamic Presencing (DP) (Gunnlaugson, 2020–2025) and later integrated at the heart of Dynamic Presencing Coaching (DPC) (Gunnlaugson, 2024a–2025)—this article introduces three holding gestures that deepen presencing from a mode of knowing into an embodied and participatory way of being. While Letting Go, Letting Be, and Letting Come establish foundational process movements for deepened presencing, the addition of Holding Presence, Holding Depth, and Holding Emergence introduces three ontological holding environments that stabilize and catalyze this transformation. These gestures unfold through a dimensional progression of three phases—Enfolding into Presence, Indwelling in Presence, and Unfolding Presencing Emergence—each corresponding to a distinct stage of presencing: Presence, Deep Presencing, and Dynamic Presencing. When integrated, the letting and holding gestures form a dynamic choreography between receptive openness and generative participation. Embodied within the DPC Process-Method, this integrated movement invites a deeply sourced and sovereign engagement with the relational, somatic, and emergent dimensions of presencing, enabling practitioners in leadership, coaching, and related fields to cultivate new forms and stages of presencing mastery.
