Jumping with Joy

Voices of the WholeHeart Community

What is WholeHeart? Who is WholeHeart? Why love? For an organization who loves questions, these are the ones we keep revisiting to guide us. We keep turning to you to listen before we know where to move, how to jump, what to offer. Thank you for sharing your voices, your stories as we move into a new year of living together on the learning edge.

We are happy to share a few perspectives and responses on what is at the heart of this community work:

Wholeheart facilitators created a welcoming and safe container to do this deep inner work. The structure - using touchstones, poetry and prompts for reflection was incredibly supportive.

As always, I am grateful for the welcoming presence of a trusted circle and the ongoing support, encouragement, and active listening that we provide each other. I have found the opportunity to use what I have learned in my professional and personal life and for that I am grateful.

I enjoyed the creativity and caring of the WholeHeart team. I had never had such an experience like this on Zoom before. It was encouraging and informative in my own work as a facilitator.

This was very grounding and helpful to take time out of a busy schedule and life to listen in and share with other thoughtful people.

The openness and generosity of the leadership, the authenticity and hospitality of the community, and the consistency and wisdom of the practices/model, all supported me.

I am so happy that this space exists! I needed laughs and being with the BIPOC community.

I haven’t had a chance to participate in such events very often but find that taking time for ourselves can start with such an experience. To learn, to share, to reflect.

This program offered an opportunity to experiment and experience listening in a really different way. I loved the small group aspect. Creating an intimate space in a virtual world that felt truly special. The program offered such a respite in these tumultuous times.

Again and again and again I learn more about myself and get practice integrating and using what I learned in real time. I LOVED the deep honesty, originality....

This year has been utterly transformational and expansive. I am so thankful I stumbled upon WholeHeart at the time in my life I did!

I loved being able to take some time with a group of strangers, getting to know each other in intimate ways, and getting to know ourselves more. During the pandemic, it has been really rare for me to be in any groups, and this fed my soul in a unique way.

A spacious offering that leaves me feeling a deeper connection every time. A practice, a discipline, a cultivating of inner and outer connection is invaluable, especially in this time of divisiveness and isolation.
