The Intentional Presence Initiative projects address a wide range of contexts
in effort to acknowledge the common human trial of meaningfully engaging with another - whether that's at a family reunion or in a doctor's office. Our mediums include memoir-style anecdotes, research-writing and source-work, and practical-skills workshops.
