Entering the Century of Dialogue
Universal Intention – accepting the challenges of today and taking action
A historic event was unfolding over Peace Weekend, Sept 20 & 21 ’14. The Dali Lama gathered the 9 religion’s of India together to discuss secular ethics and the environment of the world!
The Dali Lama declared the this Century the Century of Peace and how to achieve it – a Century of Dialogue!
Renee of Inside was inspired to create this image as she listened to the plenary sessions of this historic gathering. The leaders of the nine religions in India gathering together for a dialogue. What Renee heard from these leaders was in tune with her philosophy and life’s passion. Peace will only come through mindful dialogue. The three things she enjoyed hearing from these sessions was: 1. We are all the same. there is no difference between us. 2. We all need two things, grain and clean water. 3. If the water is polluted??????, If there is no grain??????
Inside perspective of why does a century of peace depend upon a century of dialogue?
Peace comes from learning how to build a friendship based upon trust. Good friends are ones that have experienced you as trustworthy. Bad friends are ones who have learned not to not trust you through experience. What determines trustworthy behavior? Ethical behavior based upon shared values.
Values are universal and shared by all people. We are all the same and we share the same qualities of human function. These qualities are the four aspects of self; mental, emotional, physical and belief. We all have the same needs for relationships, survival and happiness and are entitled to achieve happiness in our life. We are all entitled to relationships built upon respect and equality.
How can we create a culture of ethical behavior? Through education, practice and commitment. It begins with accepting the challenge and taking action. It is only through personal change that one can be the change they want to see in the world.
A great starting point is learning a vocabulary of values. Inside value programs are designed to start where you are and available for personal development, for the office, organization and education institution. They are available for both adults and children.

Finding Love, Being in Love & Remembering your love………
Love Questions:
- Does love just happen? (No, sex just happens!)
- Does that loving feeling last forever? (No, when the physical chemical wears off the relationships becomes a struggle.)
- Do you fall out of love with yourself when you love someone else? (When you let anything go without addressing it, yes you are no longer loving yourself)
- Who do you fall out of love with first, yourself or your mate?

A new way of looking at finding, being and staying in love!
New type of SUPPORT FOR FINDING, BEING AND REMEMBERING LOVE………….
Love is fresh, never old!
First lets look at what makes love old when:
- looking for it,
- being in it
- or trying to remember it?
If your answer was unmet needs your right!
Surprisingly our first step for finding love is hunting for it. It’s easy to hunt and be hunted. We are longing to feel connected, loved and chemically high!
Typically our second step is to conform ourselves to fit the model we think we should be.
Or, we demand our love interest conform to be who we want them to be!
Putting them or ourselves first turns today’s dream into tomorrow’s nightmare!
Screech……..STOP!
Let’s start over! Together lets take a look at your definition of love and find out if it is working for you, but first lets talk about why. Whether you are looking for a short-term fix or long-term relationship wouldn’t you want to experience the best of you versus the worst? To feel confident, beautiful and fulfilled replacing hurt, resentful and frustrated would be the ultimate experience in love’s connection. How can you achieve this? By making love in your life your priority. Considering it, defining it and preparing for it. The definition you have for love is different than anyone else on the planet. Yes, even your lover!
- If you know your love map you will choose better lovers.
- If you know your love map your lover has a better chance of being in connection and not having to be right or wrong!
- If you are in a right and wrong relationship and have forgotten the ‘er’ at the end of love stopping to define your love map will refresh your memory.
Love is a philosophy. Love is life. Love is a career.
Love is the field when the head, heart and body is in sync.
Are you focusing as much of your attention to your love as your own career? If not, why not?
Connect to find out how you too can deepen your connection to find, be and stay in love. Personal programs include creating your love map, defining love in your life, creating the space for love, attracting love to you and how to talk ‘love’.
Connect and ask about:
- Creating a love map (yes works for singles & couples)
- Home assessment
- Movements, mental & emotional aspects for releasing blocks to love
- Love Conversations
- Getting Married
- Ceremonies
(in person, by telephone & by conference call)
Love related workshops
