"This training will change your life. You will learn about yourself and others at levels you didn't know existed - to where a rich and sacred tapestry of human connection and differences holds the universe together. Even more importantly, you will learn the skills that enable you to carry this magic into the world."
- Eliott Cisneros, Intercultural Competence Training & Mediation
Fort Collins, CO

"I have an Ivy League degree in psychology, a Harvard MBA, training as a psychotherapist, and extensive training with Young Presidents' Organization Forum groups, yet the 21 days I spent in the training provided me with valuable and sustaining perceptions and skills that none of these had provided."
- Terry P.: CEO, Chicago, Illinois

"The saying - "walk a mile in someone else's shoes" - the Matrix group allowed me to follow the path of someone else and her ancestors - for hundreds of miles, across oceans, over decades, even centuries, without ever giving up my own shoes, my own ancestors, my own truth."
- E. Smith, Boulder Introductory Weekend Participant

"I have only completed the first of four weekends and I am already beginning to integrate the insights and tools into my consulting and training practice. Without having to open a book to review the content, I feel as though my awareness of groups has shifted. I can't wait for the next installment!"
- Simon D'Arcy, President and Founder of Business Success Teams

"The basic model of this training with creating one-on-one individual healthy connections in a group is so simple, and yet proves to be amazingly transformative and healthy change in the groups which I facilitate."
- Stefan, California Foundation Training Participant, 2007

"This training is having a tremendous impact in my life through the way I relate to myself, my deepened connections with family, friends & colleagues, and the way I participate in groups. There is something so mystical, powerful and practical about the Matrix model - combined with an amazing experiential workshop to practice these tools immediately - that I believe this body of work has the ability to help hospice the old world view of separation and competition, and help midwife a new world view of inclusion and interconnectedness."
— Ling, California Foundation Training Participant, 2007

"I learned powerful tools and practices for enhancing my leadership, applying systems theory, and tapping the rich diversity that lives inside groups."
- Tarra Christoff, MA, Life Coach & Organizational Consultant
Campbell, California : After Introductory Weekend

"Matrix offers an incredible model for creating deep and nourishing connections while tending to the intelligence of the group field. It was amazing to reach such a profound level of intimacy, belonging and creativity in a new group. I think this training is valuable for anyone who works with groups, organizations, or is interested in embodying social artistry for personal and social transformation."
- Tarra Christoff, MA, Life Coach & Organizational Consultant
Campbell, California : After Phase I of California Foundation Training 2007

"It has now become clear to me that a big part of my discomfort in groups has been my difficulty holding onto my differences, my uniqueness, my perspectives while still staying in close loving connection. I'm learning so much about this - how to honor my differences and your differences without believing I'll lose or leave the relationship."
-Anne Wagner, Boulder 2006 Foundation Training Participant
Wyoming

"I have learned that our separateness is a culturally imposed illusion, and that reconnecting in full and healthy ways to others will be the most profound healing work that I could do for myself, my community, and the planet."
- Tracy, California Foundation Training Participant, 2007

"The more I do the Matrix work, the more ease I experience when in groups; a wonderful change from the petrifying fear that used to be my norm."
-B.W., Boulder 2006 Foundation Training Participant

"This is not just learning about leading groups, and this is a learning to communicate from our heart."
-Mari Adachi, California Foundation Training Participant, 2007

"This training helped clear some minefields I had been living with around group leading for a long time - enabling me to imagine a way to share who I really am on a huge scale."
- Scot M., Matrix Leadership Intro Weekend Participant
Boulder, Colorado

"A member of a training in Chicago in 2000, I am here, standing tall and here to tell you that every moment of my training was a challenge. I found it enlightening, consuming, heart-filled, frustrating, exhilarating, annoying, joyful, terrifying, comforting, irritating, restoring, hysterical, healing and transforming. My experiences ran the gamut of human emotions and experiences, all of which can be summed up in two words: Life Altering. Issues of trust (in self and others), community, tolerance, growth - and more. Yes, 'life altering'. Definitely. Would I do it again? In a heartbeat. This time, I'd enter freely vs. kicking and screaming! As one insightful co-participant said: 'This program could change the world.' True."
-Lois Hobart, Certfied Life Coach
Chicago, Illinois, written Nov. 2006

"There was an incredible feeling of interconnectedness and we realized that everyone is an absolute necessity if the group is to manifest its full expression. It makes me question whether all groups could feel like this. What are the limitations I see and bring to groups, communities and the world? Just Matrix it baby!"
- Chris Loose, Financial Consultant : Introductory Matrix Workshop Participant

"To me, MLI is a wonderful learning process for business and community leadership development. It opens a person up, increases one's personal choices, creates flexibility for responding. One develops emotional intelligence and becomes more resourceful in all types of settings. It is the stuff MBA programs never touch."
- Dieter A., Organizational Consultant
Evanston, Illinois


"MLI was an incredible experience that helped me grow tremendously personally and professionally. As a clinical psychologist, I had studied group process before. However, this was the experience that most helped me understand myself in new ways. The training was not easy nor simple but was one of the most important experiences in my life. Thank you for your caring, your expertise, and your loving leadership."
- Sue L., Ph.D., Clinical Psychologist
Evanston, Illinois


"Profound and inspirational It transforms in all the ways we live, learn, and work. My partner and I have been compelled to weave the learnings into the work we do in the world. With the Relational Matrix, we help organizations improve their collective relationship to change, and empower people to arrive wholly present in their work."
- Frank B., Organizational Consultant
Naperville, Illinois

"This work has given me new insight into the 'we are one' theme. How very interrelated we are and what we do to one, happens to the entire community. I learned the difference between intention and impact, and to have the courage to check these things out with people. I learned to take back projections I had on others. I learned about the 'field of love' and in this nothing is impossible."
-Debra

"Matrix is the missing link! I have participated in many trainings that focus on individual growth and development, but until Matrix, I never understood how to communicate effectively with a group of people. I experienced and learned how to interact with myself, with one other person, and with an entire group of people. It is a powerful, loving and essential training for anybody who wants to communicate and to be heard by other human beings."
