Read Testimonials About our Workshops!
It is so important to find, and live from, that centered place within ourselves, to connect with our own heart and with others. The inner, emotional/spiritual work is vital, but it is not enough. We need each other too. We need our family, but we also need extended heart-family, a trusted support network. This inner and outer connection is a focus at all our workshops for participants wanting deeper levels of love and healing in their lives.
We feel our workshops provide individuals and couples with a safe, nurturing and healing environment which allows them to open to and process material usually well hidden in their daily life. We gently encourage rather than force the needed changes to come about from within each person. We lead processes with pairs, small groups or the whole group, leaving time afterwards for sharing and bringing more resolution to individual or couple issues. Music, singing, laughter and movement are woven throughout to allow deeper integration of feelings.

A message from Barry and Joyce Vissell:
Please join us in holding a vision of a world where women, men and children of all nations, races and religions can see and feel the divine in themselves and one another. Here is our current 2012 workshop schedule. We would love to see you at one of these events. Please remember how important this spiritual-emotional growth work is. Together let’s take another step on this journey into the heart of love and deeper awareness, where real world healing begins.
There are now scholarships or work-exchanges available for almost every event for those in financial need. Write us a letter describing your situation.
