Living Essence is about space-holding. We provide the place, people and practices that allow people to unfold, to be held and supported in their process, and to learn to live with mindful awareness and wholeheartedness in their everyday lives.

Living Essence is about space-holding. We provide the place, people and practices that allow people to unfold, to be held and supported in their process, and to learn to live with mindful awareness and wholeheartedness in their everyday lives. Founded in 2004 as a coaching and training practice, the offering evolved to include mindfulness teaching, and an urban retreat and training space.

Liza’s deep joy and calling has been curating the stylish, tranquil Urban Oasis as a retreat and guesthouse space in the leafy suburb of Craighall Park, Johannesburg. As a space-holder to space-holders, she also offers an exclusive training venue where teachers work with their students in their various modalities.
