“Enjoyed the whole darn thing”

- participant, Dialogues of the Heart, Mount Shasta, CA

“Everything about you both and your home and work and the "space" you create, the beautiful nourishing food included, is lovely and full of integrity, a real joy to behold and participate in.
The games are fun, the practices valuable, but what I notice most is energy. I have been a student and practitioner of subtle energy fields for twenty years and the positive energy shifts with the people and groups you are working with is amazing ! Congratulations !
Change a few individuals, change the world ! “

- Sharon, Dialogues participant, Chapel Hill, NC

“Catherine and Jesse embody a living process of ‘relationship in action’ using the consciousness of NVC, their spiritual practices and personal qualities. Their honesty, openness and transparency before the group is uplifting.”

- Phil Toms, New Zealand

"I came with a sense of hopefulness, that I would be able to gain some tools to make my communication with my partner more open,less angry, more loving and life affirming. What I have received is another big piece of the puzzle on the journey to full humanness."

“WOW! What a weekend. Thank you so much... My Heart is FULL... I am left with a feeling of deep love and compassion for all beings.”

- Barbara Shepard, educator, Dunsmuir, CA

"The depth of feeling and communication was at once exhilarating and embarrassing - embarrassing in front of a group. (But I wouldn’t change it!)"

- Jeanne, Shambhala Center, Washington D.C.

"I really enjoyed the format for Dialogues of the Heart. I got the support to be with the sadness I was feeling at the time, and also to move through into the lightness. The games of the day all seemed to build on what I've learned in NVC, and I love that way to connect with others and with me . The dance lodge at night brought it all together through movement, expression, the felt experience without words. Home in my heart again.

Thank you very much, Jesse and Catherine. Please hurry back!"

- Lesley, Maleny, QLD, Australia

"Your teachings of NVC, specifically “OFNR” gave me a feeling of awareness and freedom to move through the relationships in my life in a different way. Thank you for bringing this into the fabric of my life.
Namaste."
