Building upon previous “Connoisseur of Time” podcasts, this and the previous episode supports listeners in completing the “Listening” exercise (pages 19-23). This is the first of dozens of contemplative exercises in the Quest for Presence collection. “Listening” sets the stage for everything else to come. So, listeners are encouraged to download the free e-book and review the very brief “Listen” chapter (pages 19-23).

This episode has both Kristie and Ronnie sharing their experience of Art’s working through the exercise and sharing their own experience. Most importantly, we learn that there is a great range of experiences when it comes to one’s attitude toward time.

Ronnie (Practitioner) talks about setting a boundary to create more time and the need to be more effective in managing time (Self-accountability). Kristie (Seeker) talks about her soul work that has led her to be much more in the moment than previously in her life. At the same time, there is some anxiety. “Presence gets scary so it is easy to be busy.”
