Most people practice presence with their breath and call it done. This summit goes also to the areas most seekers avoid: money, judgment, sex, business, our body, grief, laughter. Each speaker has taken a decade+ to master one area, and guides us to master it too in just one immersive session.
Join the Waitlist →There comes a moment when you realize you've gotten very good at avoiding the one room that actually matters.
You may have done years of inner work. You may already know, intellectually, exactly what you're avoiding. You may have built real success while quietly staying absent from the one area that scares you most.
And yet...
You still flinch at the same conversation about money. You still perform confidence instead of feeling it in your body. You still keep certain people, certain topics, certain truths at arm's length. You still call it "not my priority right now" when it's actually the room you've never entered.
What if the areas you've been managing around are the exact places your next level of presence is waiting?
It's time to enter the room.
Every speaker here didn't study their room. They lived in it until they mastered it.
This isn't a highlight reel of insights to nod along to. Each session is built to do one thing: put you inside the exact exercise that shifted the speaker's own relationship with money, sex, business, grief, laughter, whatever their room is, so you leave having practiced presence, not just heard about it.
You won't just understand your avoidance better. You'll have already taken one real step out of it.
We don't lack information about presence. We lack the willingness to stay present with the specific thing we've spent years avoiding.
So instead of a general theme, each speaker takes one domain, the one they've actually lived inside, and teaches only from there. No borrowed material. No unmastered theory.
Twelve years as a monk taught me this: presence with what you judge most in yourself is the whole doorway. Everything else follows.
This is the opening keynote, and the thread underneath every room in this summit. You can't be kind to a part of your life you've never actually met. Every "be kind to yourself" I've ever taught was hollow until I sat with what I was actually avoiding, my shame, my mother, my fear, without flinching or fixing.
Presence is what comes first. Kindness is what becomes possible once you're there. Every speaker in this lineup will be asked the same question inside their own room: how has presence with this specific thing made you more successful, not despite it, but because of it.
A working list. Some are confirmed, some are conversations in progress, some are still open.

More speaker bonuses are in the works, we'll keep adding to this.
Loto spent twelve years as a monk in the Advaita Vedanta tradition before founding Hawimi™, a global kindness movement. He's the author of La Felicidad es Fácil / Happiness Is Easy, and has spent over two decades studying presence as a practice, not a concept. Permanent Presence is the summit he wishes had existed when he was still avoiding his own hardest room.
Two ways to be part of it.
