Excerpt from Dr Louise Livingstone's (Founder of Heart Sense Research Institute) research:
​
"Taking seriously and engaging with the thought of the heart... [means] being willing step into life with one’s whole self and learning to move with what it has to offer in all of its uncertainty and imperfection. Remaining patiently in the present, embedded in life, our hearts release us into the possibility of new spaces for interaction and communication as they respond continuously to the calls of the world in all of its glorious complexity and infinite mystery - inviting us to step into the dance and move with life as best we are able."
(Livingstone, 2019, p.301)

All our work (research, training, art, consultancy, individual mentoring) arises by firstly sinking into the heart-space and committing to think with the heart in direct relationship with life and its challenges. Working in this way creates possibilities to bring forth a radically different way of perceiving and engaging with the world in its fullest living context; enabling us to bring in, and make sense of, subtler realms of experience that are often missed through traditionally accepted ways of engaging with the modern world. In deep conversation with the heart, our research has:
