Making the Vision Live

Martha: "In my work I try to impart a vision that is both deeply spiritual and immensely practical. Most people, when caught up in the stresses of ordinary life, lose touch with what they truly want, the things that are mostly deeply important to them. They have this knowledge buried deep inside, but they have forgotten it. There is a place we can go to that connects us with a higher purpose, a place of the Spirit. It is a real place, not a figment of the imagination. Once there we can connect with our partner in a wholly new way, a way that makes us truly allies instead of antagonists. When we do this, we align ourselves with our true purpose; we gain energy, clarity, and strength in the smallest details of our everyday existence. We bring Heaven down to earth. It is truly hard to imagine how much richer and more rewarding our lives can become."

"What I really try to teach is a way of loving unconditionally. Its not some lofty, unattainable ideal. Rather its a way of being that anyone can connect with at any moment. It doesnt matter whats happening, what our partner is doing, what our circumstances are. We dont need to be clever or articulate or exceptional in any way. We just need to feel that the universe is a safe place—which in my view it truly is. Thats why in the workshop I always try to hold that sacred space, where there is room for all our imperfections, and virtually no limit to the joy we can experience."

"In the work itself, my style tends to be intuitive. I place a lot of emphasis on listening. I especially try to be attuned to what people are manifesting, not through their words, but in the feelings and deeper rhythms underneath, which are often the key. Its important to me to be absolutely, totally, one thousand per cent present for everyone who comes to a workshop, no matter what theyre going through. I also try to see the strength and beauty in each person. This is frankly not hard for me, because in the struggles that people go through in a workshop, in their honest efforts to come to grips with their darkest demons, I see their most wonderful qualities revealed. I have always felt inspired and blessed by witnessing this; its a privilege I treasure."
