A Shared Pausewith Gabriel Garcia
A private hour for presence, observation, and reflection.
An invitation to step out of the rush of your day and give attention to the life happening now.
We meet online, one to one, for 60 minutes. I offer gentle guidance to help you bring attention to the present moment, with room to notice, reflect, and share quiet together.
Before we meet, a short form helps me understand what draws you here and prepare for our time.
You don't need meditation experience or a particular question.

A little room in your day
You might welcome time to slow down, step away from the rush of what comes next, or give more attention to ordinary moments.
Perhaps you already spend time in meditation or quiet reflection and would appreciate exploring presence with another person. A question or something in my writing may have stayed with you.
Or you may simply want a dedicated hour to pause.
You can share a theme, choose from a few suggested ones, or let me know you would welcome guidance.
Our time together
We begin with a brief check-in, informed by what you shared in your request.
From there, I offer simple invitations to observe. We might listen to the sounds around us, notice where attention goes, or spend time with a question as it relates to your experience.
I listen, ask thoughtful questions, and share reflections when useful. There is room to speak and room for silence, with a balance we can adjust together.
You can keep your eyes open, move, or decline any invitation. There is no fixed curriculum or particular feeling you need to achieve.
Before we finish, we leave time to acknowledge what stood out and anything you would like to keep noticing in everyday life.
Your facilitator
I'm Gabriel Garcia, founder of Live Fully Present and author of You Were Never Absent.
The same attention behind my writing shapes these meetings: noticing the life already here.
My role is to prepare thoughtfully, guide gently, and explore alongside you. What you share and notice helps shape our time together.

After we meet

During the four- and eight-week options, you are also welcome to send one brief email check-in between meetings. A reply to your follow-up email can serve as that check-in. Fuller exploration takes place in our scheduled time.
A few questions
Do I need experience?
No. You are welcome whether this is new to you or already part of your life. The form helps me understand your familiarity and preferences.
What if I don't have a theme?
That's fine. You can let me know you would welcome guidance. We can begin with simple observation and explore from there.
Will we be silent for the whole hour?
We make room for both reflection and quiet. Your preferences help guide the balance, and we check in as we go. You do not need to fill the hour with talking.
How are the weekly meetings structured?
We agree on dates before confirming your booking. Each meeting lasts 60 minutes. There is no prescribed sequence of lessons; the weeks provide continuity and space to revisit what matters to you.
Where do we meet?
We meet by video call, in English or Spanish. You'll receive the joining details after your booking is confirmed. A reasonably quiet place where you can speak comfortably is helpful.
Is this therapy or counseling?
A Shared Pause is a space for contemplative exploration. Personal experiences may naturally arise, while our focus remains on presence and everyday life. It does not provide therapy, personal counseling, or crisis support.
Do I need an introductory call?
The request form is usually enough to begin. If clarification would help, we can arrange a free 15-minute introductory conversation before booking.
What if there are no current openings?
Requests remain open. If my calendar is full, I'll share the next available starting dates.
Request a Shared Pause
Tell me a little about what you would welcome and when you are available. A few sentences are enough.
I'll read your request personally and email you about the next step and available dates.
Submitting a request does not require payment or reserve a meeting. We'll agree on the format and dates before you receive payment details and booking terms.
