“The Generating Transformative Change programme was a beautiful experience for my heart and soul. I was in transition, needing to find value in my voice and the container created within the participants became a safe space where I could voice and experiment with the person I was becoming. I had been holding back an authentic voice for fear of retaliation and the holding of the programme gave me permission to be authentic and vulnerable whilst still experiencing a loving community. The biggest gift for me was the attention and value given to presence. In a world where often more importance is given to an outward charisma or gravitas, this attention to cultivating deep presence for self, for others, for community was so affirming and joyful. I began to really see that there is no other and that I and the other give rise to each other and this deep knowing has allowed me to step into my work as a coach and facilitator as a co-creator, a curious listener and a true partner to my clients. The model of adult development that is part of the programme opened by eyes to what is possible on the leadership journey and gave me new facets to explore within myself. During the entire 9 months over which the programme takes place, I felt deeply nourished and energized and more aligned. I continue to hold this experience as one that created a deep and profound shift in how I see myself and the world.”

“If you allow it, GTC is ultimately about catalyzing and cultivating the sacred journey home. The journey to our common Source and Center. The journey through fear to Love. Only in this way can we ground more love and light in the world - and Be the change we seek. Highly, highly recommended”

—David Johnson

"GTC has allowed me to hold and work within paradox. I can look at collapsing eco systems, shocking economic inequality, and calcified political systems, and not lose hope but work with renewed vigor. Where before I felt despair and frustration and soldiered on, now I can hold those feelings together with optimism and joy and work from a place of service."

"In the context of true honesty and integrity and a deep caring for life,­ its beauty, wonder and possibility, ­ GTC is a place where I am ever more learning to become fully human. The crucible of GTC challenges me to take all that I am working with out into the world....it is about embodying presence, collectively and as individuals."

"The core teachers are among the most skilled, mindful and dedicated teachers that I know ... training a cadre of people who are integrally informed, deeply aware of themselves, culturally attuned, and committed to transformational action in the world."

Susanne Cook-Greuter

“….That consistent invitation from the facilitators, the consistent support and curiosity from my fellow students and the very practical exercises and powerful theory in the course sessions has opened me up in ways I hadn't imagined possible and set me on the next arc of my development - an arc which stretches over years, as far as I can see. I am grateful beyond words for the gift of the GTC programme.”
