Buckminster Fuller helped a group to achieve presence by having each of them look at their hand, and see it not as a 'hand', a noun, but rather as a 'Pattern Integrity' -- a verb, a manifestation of the universe's capacity to create and continuously regenerate, since the hand is always changing, even in the cells that make it up.
Many people report achieving greater presence through the practice of meditation, martial arts, use of mind-altering substances or walks in nature.
In times of collective trauma (e.g. natural disasters) groups can often achieve a remarkable degree of collective presence very quickly.
