"Observing without evaluating is the highest form of human intelligence."
– J. Krishnamurti

The Open Heart Series explores how a compassionate spirit coupled with nonviolent communication principles can transform our lives. These experiential training have defined structures for the mind, feelings exploration for the heart, and kinesthetic activities for the body.

This integration of mind, heart, and body, held in compassionate awareness, is designed to produce a sense of wholeness where we are able to welcome who we are unconditionally and experience our totality. We then recognize our kinship with others; our relationships and quality of life deepens, and aliveness burns brightly within the present moment.

The Storyteller and the Witness:
Befriending your inner voice.

Learn how to deliberately act rather than automatically react.
Recognize and change habits that confine you.
Tap the deep wisdom within yourself.

We human beings are storytellers. As events unfold in our lives we describe them to ourselves, assigning meaning, ascribing motives, and rendering experience coherent. We then share our stories with others and forge a common experience. We communicate. We create relationships.

Some stories highlight division, other stories promote connection. There are stories of helplessness and stories of triumph. When we become too deeply identified with our stories, we feel compelled to defend them, or to attack stories that seem foreign. We thus live in a world of strife.

When we learn to identify with the storyteller, the witness, rather than with the story itself, we learn to choose stories deliberately rather than reflexively. Foreign stories no longer threaten us and we have no need to defend our stories. They become rooted in compassionate understanding, serving us instead of confining us. We discover a world of loving intention, a world of forgiveness, a world of respect and companionship. We become free.
