Leonard Jacobson has been guiding people into the transformative power of Presence for over 40 years, teaching how to become fundamentally present and master the mind and ego so they no longer pull us out of the moment. His work emphasizes that true awakening is not a future goal or the result of spiritual striving, it is available now, in this very moment. As one awakens to the present, thought subsides, the mind quiets, and a profound inner peace emerges what mystics and Masters have described through the ages.

A unique aspect of Leonard’s teaching is his deep insight into the ego, showing how to come into right relationship with it, allowing it to relax and integrate into a conscious, awakened life. He embodies the depth of Presence he teaches, reminding us that life only truly exists here and now. Leonard is the author of six books, including Journey into Now, translated into eight languages, and In Search of the Light, which won the Indie Children’s Book Award. Based in Asheville, North Carolina, he offers teaching sessions, workshops, and retreats across the U.S., Europe, Australia, and Asia.
