Soluble When Listening



"When I have been listened to and when I have been heard, I am able to perceive my world in a new way and to go on.  It is astonishing how elements which seem insoluble become soluble when someone listens."   

-Carl Rogers    

 

Soluble When Listening  

Lately, I have had the honor and privilege to create and deliver a workshop on love and positivity for a handful of cancer patients and survivors. Our weekly curriculum is a combination of my years of love contemplation layered with the positivity training about which I have become passionate. It is the most deeply rewarding work I have done in years. I have given up the idea that I have anything to teach anyone, finally understanding that there is no telling anyone anything that they do not wish to know. Instead, I am in awe of the learning that happens within the shared intention of listening deeply both to ourselves and to the sacred intimate connections that emerge without effort, even among strangers when we ask authentic questions about who we are. Increasingly, I am convinced that any idea of planning how things will go is nothing but fiction that I busy my mind with and which ultimately distracts me from the moment at hand.

A Message from Our Founder 

Last fall, I had the honor of giving the first presentation ever offered on the topic of healing personal relationships at the annual Bioneers conference. Throughout the weekend, I heard from people how important it was for me to bring this work of healing relationships out into the world. As the entrepreneur of Good Clean Love, it is my intent to increase love on this planet.

 

A month after the Bioneers conference, I won an entrepreneurial award for the best developing company in Oregon. This award confirmed that my work on behalf of love needed to expand and that I had to step outside of Good Clean Love products to grow my message.

 

I have been working for months to define my educational efforts and am proud to share with you my new website:  Love with Wendy.com. Here I will experiment with many different media modalities and share the lessons on the Ecology of Love and Applied Positivity. Look for a new podcast series, a new documentary video series, and more webinars and books. Also watch for writing projects that expand to include: how to embody love and empower the ability to meditate on love. 

 

I am excited for the opportunity to share my strengths and see what the future has in store for me and my career in loveology. Please visit the new site and let me know what you think. Also like my new page on Facebook. Onward and upward- always following my heart- I know it will be a remarkable ride. Please join me!
