“Gracious Space is defined by respect, dignity, curiosity, creativity and innovation. It has impacted the leadership and community building work we do in rural south Texas--the space changes how people interact, build and dream together.”

- Francisco Guajardo, Professor, University of Texas Pan-America
“I attend many meetings and planning sessions where less than optimal results are gained because of difficulty in dealing with conflict. In times of great budget crises the lack of trust becomes magnified and discussions become a ‘if you win then I have to lose’ mentality. When groups are willing to use the concepts of Gracious Space it leads us from raw debate into actual productive dialogue.”

- Karen Heikel, University Dean, Montana State University, Billings, MT
