Refreshing and Deepening Relationship with Sidra Stone & Hal Stone

Program Description

Our relationships can be a source of great joy or much discomfort. Do you want a fresh, brilliant new approach to making your relationships work? Do you want to transform your intimate relationships into joint ventures based on cooperation and equality, mutual respect and empowerment? Sidra & Hal Stone remind us that relationships are an energetic event. The Stones are the creators of Voice Dialogue and have been teaching thousands of people for several decades how to keep that glow in your partnerships as you mature into fullness and head into the stormy complexities of life. “All judgments are pointing to something we need to learn. We’re all each other’s teachers.” (Hosted by Justine Willis Toms & Michael Toms)

Sidra & Hal Stone have taught together, both nationally and internationally on the subjects of Voice Dialogue, relationship and the selves, and the psychology of the aware ego. They are the authors of Embracing Our Selves (New World Library 1989), Embracing Your Inner Critic (HarperSanFrancisco 1993), and Partnering: A New Kind of Relationship, How to Love Each Other Without Losing Yourselves (New World Library 2000).
