From Congregational Colleagues

“When the congregation I was serving became embroiled in factionalizing conflict, the skilled colleagues we brought in only made things worse. It was only the approach, materials and process that Rev. Cat used that gave participants a common language and shared perspective to understand themselves and each other, enabling and motivating them to move forward together. It was transformative. The congregation came together and continues to practice and deepen the skills Rev. Cat shares.” - Rev. Mary Grigolia

“Rev. Cat’s in depth work with the congregation I was serving gave us not only a new understanding of tools and processes for effective conflict resolution, but brought about a true shift in how we managed difficult issues. The culture of the congregation changed in a meaningful and long-term way. Leaders became both more confident and more skilled in helping to navigate challenges, find solutions everyone could live with and get back to a shared sense of unity and purpose.” - Rev. Nan White

From Workshop Participants

“This workshop gave me new hope for resolving the challenges in our congregation, our world - and in my own family! I greatly appreciated interweaving of conceptual learning and exercises for practical application. Rev. Cat went deep and kept it light at the same time. I’m looking forward to more!” - workshop participant

“This workshop helped me to understand and question the stories that I tell myself… and also to understand the very different stories that others tell themselves and why that might be. It helped me find empathy for myself and others and at the same time release my certainty to discover other options.” - workshop participant

“When we got to the part where Rev. Cat asked us to bring in our own challenging situations so we could practice applying the process, and people were bringing these really gnarly problems, I kept thinking ‘She won't be able to find a way to work with this one.’ But every time she did!” - workshop participant

“This work is slow….but profoundly powerful and sacred. For me it has brought about deep inner miracles." - workshop participant
