This UNcommon presentation answers these common questions:


Voice Dialogue?

What is that?

What do you do?

Why? 


Experience why
Voice Dialogue
is being used
around the world by
life coaches,
therapists,
nutritionists,
body workers,
performers,
writers,
natural healers
& by people
who want to feel better
&
gain access
to their creativity.

Join us. 

Nearly everyone has experienced the phenomenon of the alarm clock ringing at 5:30 AM.
·        A part of you is adamant about staying in bed.
·        Another part of you is responsible and wants to get out of bed.
·        Still another part of you loves to play and is excited to get up BUT ONLY IF it means sneaking to the beach.

Inner struggle ensues.

This is a simple demonstration
highlighting that we are composed
of many Selves, many parts of
yourSelf, which is the basis of
the Voice Dialogue method.

Voice Dialogue
is a Jungian based technique
developed by the Drs. Stone in the 1970's. The premise is
our personality is made up of
a family of internal Selves
or Sub-personalities. 
As we grow up,
we identify with some
and reject others.

This over-identification with some Selves (examples include
your Protector Self or
Responsible Self or
even your Inner Critic)
and rejection of other Selves
(like your Lazy Self or Wild Self)
creates
imbalance,
blind spots,
stuckness,
and a general feeling of not being whole.

Zen Master Dennis Genpo Merzel,
author of BIG MIND-BIG HEART,
describes his process for
finding your way as having two roots:
zen
&
Voice Dialogue,
which he endorsed as
"...probably the healthiest

and best
therapy out there."

Voice Dialogue moves beyond
gaining insight. For many,
as the secret and powerful intentions
of the Selves
are revealed through facilitations,
keys to
problem-solving,
letting go,
gaining courage and more
are presented
to long unresolved dilemmas.

Voice Dialogue often melts
black-and-white thinking.

It is an extremely powerful tool
that helps separate from a
dominant point of view,
which could include
breaking habits of:
anxiety,
depression,
negative thinking,
catastrophizing,
addiction,
eating disordered behaviors,
lack of creativity...

...any of which
can be part of a lifestyle of:
poor relationships,
poor physical/fiscal health,
poor decisions/indecision
& more...

Voice Dialogue
can lead you to savor a life of joy
as you ease towards your potential.
Our New York Voice Dialogue workshops are co-led by both Co-Founders pictured above.
