Welcome back, friend.
It’s been a little while. I hope you’ve been well. I’m writing to share something I’ve been quietly working on that I think you’re going to love.
To help us develop our presence shifting mastery more simply and more powerfully in 2026, I’m introducing a new format here at The Presence Shift beginning January 4th: The Presence Shift Masterclass.
The video above is the official trailer for The Presence Shift Masterclass Movie—a 2-hour cinematic masterclass that brings the story and science of presence shifting to life. The movie, and the book it’s based on, anchor a new, year-round, science-based training to live with more presence through 5 Inner Steps that become second nature.
I’m calling 2026 our Year of Presence.
At the heart of it are 5 Inner Steps that become second nature with repetition:
Answer → Intend → Focus → Flow → Begin
When these 5 Inner Steps become second nature in your nervous system, you gain a reliable way to settle your body, bring your attention fully into the present, and flow into the next step of your day that matters to you—even in moments of anxiety, grief, conflict, or everyday stress.
Think of it as being able to Presence Shift yourself into a good day anytime.
In this year’s Masterclass, I will guide your presence shifting with a comprehensive approach that leads you to feeling more fully present in your daily life.
Paid subscribers will receive access to the full movie later in 2026, along with the book, audio Masterclass, and weekly Presence Shifts in 10 / 5 / 2-minute versions as part of The Presence Shift Masterclass system.
If you’d like to walk this Year of Presence with me, become a paid subscriber to get the full Masterclass system as it launches.
Stay present,
Sean
