Social Presencing Theater I Basic Berlin, Germany, in-person
Social Presencing Theater | The Art of Making a True Move, online

Join us

You are invited to join this in-depth training for Social Presencing Theater (SPT) practitioners who want to deepen the capacity to engage these practices in institutional or community transformation.

  • Facilitate social field change.
  • Learn how to create healthy, life-affirming relationships to positively create a sane and humane world.
  • Deepen your practice and skills.

The dedicated program consists of 3 modules: two in-person and one online.

In my personal life, the tools became anchors during relational tension. Instead of escalating verbally, I often sense into posture, breath, proximity, and impulse. The shift is from reacting to responding. SPT has become less of a method I “apply” and more of a way of orienting to systems, relationships, and my own interior landscape.

Luís Manuel Pinto

Just the idea of presence means that I am more intentional in the way I speak, move and listen. Those small shifts have made such a big difference in the way I show up in a room, or in front of any audience.

About the program

This program offers two in-person modules on the country side close to Berlin, Germany.
Program costs include full board and accommodation in single rooms. A collective shuttle service will be provided from and to Berlin Central Station.
The implementation of the practice in between the two in-person modules is supported by online meetings with the faculty and materials.


Module 1
(in-person): The Roots “Deepening / Embodying the Practice”

The first 4-day in-person intensive training focuses on understanding the foundations of Social Presencing Theater— embodied presence, basic healthiness in systems, creativity arising from nowness, social field cultivation, and the “true move” in everyday life. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the SPT practices and how to apply them in individual and collective contexts. Integrating these into our personal and work life becomes the basis for cultivating healthy, compassionate, and powerful social fields.


Module 2
(online): The Stems “Strengthening the Practice”

Online peer-learning with faculty mentoring. Participants will get an opportunity to practice SPT at three levels:

  1. Individually:
    Daily awareness and embodiment practices. Methods for heightening perception and personal presence.
  2. Peer-learning practice groups:
    Leading and facilitating groups in SPT practices with peer feedback sessions.
  3. Applying in local contexts:
    Creating SPT Practice groups in family, community, or organisations.

Faculty will offer regular Zoom calls to support learning and application.


Module 3
(in-person): Leaves and Flowers “Enabling the field shift”

The final session of the training is again a 4-day in-person module. We will deepen and expand all practices with focus on the “cultivation of the social field” to address personal, social, and environmental issues. We will use Village and 4D mapping practices as the core of understanding transformational shifts in groups. Participants will bring live case-studies to generate insights about shifting the systems from its current state toward its highest potential.

Module 3 will end with all participants designing their individual practitioner pathway forward and planning their future learning journey. They can choose to continue to engage in a Presencing Institute Practitioners Certification, Social Art Residency, or in other offerings.
