Everything that I do, noticing myself in the world, trying to be effective as a businessperson — this program showed me that there’s a way to address it that allows me to handle all of it, to encounter all of it and not freak out.
The two people who offer it are such a brilliant counterpoint to each other — they come from such different stories. These people are really not talking about the product being something that you can package, sell, produce, charge for. They’re talking about your value, you as an individual, and they’ve got the bones and the heart to do it.

I’d never done anything online, or by the phone. And I thought, hmm, how real can it be? People portray themselves as anything online. And I’m a pretty sophisticated psychological person, and I thought — nobody can help me.
Well, I played out my no one can help me thing. And you both just stuck it out, and called me on it, and named it, and I recognized it. Now I’m able to have perspective, to observe myself. That helps keep me from being overwhelmed and overtaken by my distress. So I’m less likely to discharge feelings at my staff or my friends.
It works. I’m surprised that it worked. And I can’t really explain how it worked. But I notice a change in myself. A change for the better. My staff and friends — I think they’d say, Jill’s happier. Yeah. I’ve never felt this good in my whole life!

You are masterful at hearing what someone is saying and truly understanding them. Your ability to actively listen and tune in to not only the words but the emotion, what that person is really saying, makes the person truly feel valued. Jon and Grace get what I was saying, they get where my place is, where I am right now. You guys are true pros at it, you really do a great job. Regardless of what else was going on in the call, whoever was speaking, you knew that Grace and Jon understood where that person was.

There’s some kind of balancing factor that happens with this program, that keeps pulling me back to try to keep the whole picture in focus, instead of just the compelling issue of the moment. I have a feeling of community, an awareness of fellow searchers who are trying to find a way to be who they are.
There is a an expanded sense of breathing space in my life. It’s as if doors and windows are opening that I didn’t know were closed — that I didn’t know were there.

I acknowledge you both for the simple, clear, and profound doorways that you present. The level of integrity, compassion, and safety that was created was palpable. I really appreciate the way you don’t make it about “you” and thus this helps me not make it about “me.”

The calling within you, the resonance of what’s true for you, is deeply rooted in Silence.
This isn’t the silence that’s just absence of noise. This is the Silence that’s always there, underneath everything.
When you rest in Silence, the realization of what’s true for you is self-evident and inescapable.
The commitment to yourself. The commitment to show up, to be who you are.
It’s a commitment you make over and over again. It’s not a resolution; it’s not a rule; and it’s not an instrument to punish yourself with.
It’s a commitment to your own truth.
Allowing everything to be as it is begins to free you from the demons of “should” and “what if.”
Allowing everything to be as it is, without trying to change, transcend, or deny it, liberates you. It opens your perspective to options and potentials you can’t otherwise imagine.
The space created when people come together with a common purpose is powerful. It holds an energy of connection, of witnessing each other’s truths, and of discovering the experiences we share as part of our human-ness.
We all — the facilitators and each individual — stand on common ground. This realization helps us open to deeper trust in ourselves and to the profound truth that we’re all already whole.
Guided by experienced, compassionate facilitators who live the process themselves, it creates a space for exploration, realization, and transformation.
And you find yourself coming home again, home to who you really are. Home to a deep trust in yourself and in the natural, vibrant aliveness of life.
