Living Presence Festival
THE LIVING PRESENCE FESTIVAL is a celebration of our human potential, and the beauty, magic, and wonder of being alive, right now!
We are thrilled to welcome you to a festival held in the spirit of Zen Coaching; authentic connection, awakening to the Living Presence that we truly are, deep listening, healing and transformation, relating from the heart, celebrating the beauty of life, and living and acting from Being and Presence in the world.
This is a space for summer enjoyment combined with deep transformational learning, with an impact that will last long after the festival is over. This week, we will sense together, experiment together, and imagine together, grounded in presence, friendship, and lived experience. A nourishing and inspirational week accompanied with a variety of high quality workshops, live music, movement and togetherness.
Ängsbacka has been hosting the Zen Coaching training since its beginning in 2005, and thousands of people have come here to experience the life-transforming power of saying yes to what is. If you’ve spent even a little time at Ängsbacka, chances are you’ve encountered Zen Coaching – woven into the atmosphere, the presence, and the living heartbeat of our walls here…
With this festival, we celebrate the maturing of the Zen Coaching network into an empowered global community of LIVING PRESENCE grounded in a shared vision and purpose: living life as meditation and co-creating the world we wish to live in.
What to expect
Come and experience a festival where qualities of connection, curiosity, attunement, and trust invite you to tap into the freedom and celebration of being you—in the deepest and most essential way you can imagine. Explore how it is to find yourself welcome – with all that you are, and then, expect the unexpected.
The week will be filled with:
- Depth and friendship through meditations, stillness, deep listening, transformational workshops
- Creativity and play through creativity workshops, art performances, outdoor play, and spontaneous co-creative activities
- Sweet connection and authenticity through inquiry, coaching practice, sharing, touch, and simply by being together with a shared intention in a beautiful place
- Zest for life and aliveness through dance, live music, open stage, exploring your life purpose and passion, and many inspiring people
Beyond personal enjoyment, this is also a week of shared exploration into how we can support each other in being agents of positive change in the world, rooted in the practices of presence that we share.

Meet the facilitators
-
Kåre LandfaldI consider myself a student of life. I work as a teacher, group facilitator, and coach. After years of working in international relations, I left my career to explore the inner landscape. My philosophy is that we all have something to share, and that we don’t need to wait to share it – we can do it now! In this spirit, I founded Zen Coaching, and it has become my life’s work.

“What I particularly loved about the way the teachings were carried out, was that there was no teaching/talking about something. The meeting was the teaching, so to say, which makes the whole workshop an extremely powerful and “present” experience.”
