A Sense of Meaning, Purpose and Fulfillment depends wholly on the Quality of Your Relationships

Wise Heart offers Mindful Compassionate Dialogue (MCD) - a comprehensive system and map that describes the process and skills necessary for cultivating thriving relationships with yourself and others. Through a dynamic understanding and integration of intention, the nine foundations of selfhood, and the 12 relationship competencies you begin to live your relationships consistently with mindful engagement, agency, compassion, and wise discernment.

MCD was born from a moment of inspiration in which the basic map presented itself in an image similar to the one you can find here. This inspiration was proceeded by a deep grounding in Mindfulness, Hakomi (body-centered therapy), and Compassionate Communication (also called Nonviolent Communication or NVC). MCD provides clarity about stuck communication and relationship dynamics and offers practical tools that naturally open the heart. Learning MCD supports you in uniting your deepest values with a clear understanding of how to connect and communicate with yourself and others.

Everything we offer at Wise Heart arises from the deep intention to contribute to a thriving and compassionate global community. Our mission and passion is to help you prioritize and trust a quality of connection with yourself and others that fosters thriving interdependence. We help you cultivate the presence and skills to consistently attune to that which strengthens joy, love, and well-being. 

We believe wisdom, compassion, and creativity become accessible when you prioritize and trust in the quality of connection with yourself and others as the best strategy to meet needs. With dedicated effort and practice, this access will allow us to dismantle systems of oppression and create equity for all. Together, we can create a global consciousness that lives and breathes compassion and acts from wisdom.

Over the last 20 years, Wise Heart has helped thousands of people gain the skills and understanding they need to create honest, healthy, and caring relationships with partners, family, friends, and coworkers. Our Wise Heart team is now reaching students all over the world — offering free resources, an online community, live virtual workshops, and pre-recorded courses.
