The Way of Quiet Presence

A path of inner stillness, somatic truth, and grounded clarity for humans

A Pathway Back to Yourself

The Way of Quiet Presence invites you into an inner landscape where settling, awareness, and inner coherence unfold through stillness, attunement, and embodied presence.

This path supports a return to:

  • Your natural breath

  • Your grounded center

  • Emotional clarity

  • Intuitive knowing

  • A deeper sense of Self

Quiet Presence is not withdrawal or passivity - it is a cultivated state of somatic intelligence and conscious regulation.

From this place, the nervous system settles, emotions become more digestible, and inner truth becomes accessible again.

What This Path Offers

Quiet Presence may be supportive if you are seeking:

  • Relief from overwhelm, stress, or burnout

  • A steadier nervous system

  • Space from patterns of over-giving or self-abandonment

  • Grounding during life transitions

  • Greater inner coherence and alignment

  • Clearer, more sensitive relationships (human or equine)

Through Taoist Inner Alchemy-informed practices and somatic meditation - supported by Reiki-informed grounding, simple presence practices, sound-based regulation, and nervous-system-aware pacing - you learn how to settle, listen, and reconnect with your own internal authority.

Foundations of Quiet Presence

The Way of Quiet Presence integrates Taoist Inner Alchemy teachings and somatic meditation practices into a grounded, coherent, and safe internal environment for integration and change.

These layers work together to support presence and regulation - not force or performance.

Core elements may include:

Taoist Inner Alchemy
Inner Smile practices, breath awareness, organ-based emotional work, and gentle internal Qigong to support emotional digestion and grounded presence.

Somatic Meditation & Stillness Practices
Practices that support the body in releasing subtle holding patterns and returning to natural regulation.

Reiki-Informed Grounding
Supportive energetic presence that enhances emotional steadiness and clarity without manipulation.

Shamanic Presence & Ritual Attunement
Simple, grounded rituals that support inner alignment and relational awareness.

Sound-Based Regulation
Carefully dosed sound practices using tuning forks and alchemical crystal bowls to support parasympathetic settling.

How Quiet Presence Helps

Participants often report:

  • Reduced anxiety and overwhelm

  • A stronger inner core of calm

  • Improved emotional resilience

  • Clearer boundaries

  • Greater self-compassion

  • Deeper intuition and sensitivity

  • A renewed sense of purpose

Quiet Presence does not impose change - it creates the internal conditions in which change becomes possible over time.

Ways to Engage

You may engage with Quiet Presence through:

  • One-on-one sessions (Zoom or in-person)

  • Small group sessions (Zoom or in-person)

Sessions may include guided practices, Taoist Inner Alchemy sequences, somatic meditation, sound-based regulation, and integration support.

Each session is responsive to your nervous system, emotional landscape, and stage of development.

Who This Path Is For

The Way of Quiet Presence is well suited for individuals who:

  • Feel pulled in many directions

  • Are healing long-standing patterns of over-responsibility

  • Are moving through loss, transition, or identity shifts

  • Seek greater nervous-system and energetic coherence

  • Work with people or animals and want steadier presence

  • Wish to reconnect with their authentic way of being

This path is a return - not toward who the world asked you to be, but toward who you truly are.

The Heart of Quiet Presence

At its core, Quiet Presence supports learning how to meet yourself with:

  • Gentleness

  • Discernment

  • Steadiness

  • Compassion

  • Sovereignty

Quiet Presence is a foundation that allows physical, emotional, energetic, and spiritual processes to unfold in their own time and way.

Quiet Presence Foundations

A 6-Week Taoist Inner Alchemy

Meditation & Qigong Practice Series

Quiet Presence Foundations

In-Person & Live Online

Quiet Presence Foundations is a Taoist-rooted practice series supporting inner stillness, embodied awareness, and a stable, respectful relationship with one’s inner life.

This series draws from Taoist Inner Alchemy teachings shared through Tao Alchemy Arts (Minke de Vos), including meditation, Qigong, Tao Yoga, Qi self-massage, Healing Sounds, and the Fusion of the Five Elements.

It is informed by the Biology of Consciousness perspective of Gilles Marin (Tao Touch Chi Nei Tsang), particularly the understanding that emotional experience is lived and integrated over time rather than fixed or overridden.

Practices are gentle, non-forcing, and taught with respect for individual capacity. This series is educational and experiential - not therapy or medical treatment - and does not promise specific outcomes.

This series may be supportive if you:

  • Feel overstimulated or inwardly unsettled

  • Prefer embodied practices over force-based approaches

  • Work with people or animals and wish to cultivate steadier presence

Format:
6 weekly sessions · In-person & live online · No prior experience required

This format is ideal for those seeking:

  • An accessible entry point into Quiet Presence

  • A regular rhythm of practice

  • Shared presence without personal disclosure

Online sessions are adapted to support grounding, orientation, and nervous-system safety.

One-on-one sessions remain available for individualized support.

​​​Lineage & Ethics

This work is grounded in Taoist Inner Alchemy and somatic traditions, informed by complementary energetic and relational modalities.

Teachings are offered with respect for lineage and transmitted through embodied practice, relational presence, and lived integration rather than force or performance.

All sessions are guided by principles of consent, nervous-system safety, non-coercion, and responsiveness to what is present.

Field & Scope of Practice

Quiet Presence is a Taoist Inner Alchemy-informed, somatic, and awareness-based practice offered within a non-clinical, educational, and experiential framework.

To maintain clarity, respect for lineage, and a safe internal field for this work:

  • Quiet Presence is not psychotherapy, counselling, or a medical or mental-health service

  • Practices are taught within their traditional intention: to support awareness, regulation, and embodied presence

  • Sessions are not filmed or recorded

  • Participants remain responsible for their own medical or therapeutic care, and are encouraged to consult the appropriate professionals when needed

Quiet Presence supports inner stillness, clarity, and somatic truth through a non-forcing, consent-based relationship with one’s own inner landscape.
This keeps the work clean, grounded, and honouring of its Taoist origins - and ensures that each practitioner, teacher, or clinician remains centred within their own field of expertise.

If the listed pricing is beyond what feels possible right now, please reach out. Quiet Presence is meant to meet people where they are, and a limited number of adjusted-rate spaces are held for those who sincerely need support.
