CONTENT TESTIMONIALS

"The Heart of Design was the light that I’ve been seeking for many years. The course answered so many questions I had, affirmed so many ideas I was navigating, and inspired me to have the courage to pursue a creative and spiritual path.
The curriculum was so holistic, delving into how the spiritual, creative, practical, and community spheres are connected, and how we can develop them in harmony to approach design challenges. Through the weekly assignments, I practiced how to let go of perfectionism, and instead focus on beginning and iterating. As a “dreamer” who wants to be a “doer,” this course pushed me to simply start my ideas - through elevating my questions and purpose, using design tools like the Heart-Centred Canvas, and cultivating a community of like-hearted people to share with and learn from.
It was an honour to have Peter and his teachers as our guides. Through facilitating the course and sharing lessons he’s learned from other teachers, Peter led us with humility, empathy, expertise, and a bright perspective.
This was an enriching and refreshing five weeks that taught me how to move forward with my creativity, and how to use the creativity I’ve been entrusted with to serve others with hope and purpose. I would wholeheartedly recommend The Heart of Design program to anyone looking to do the same!"

"I'm an educator and Harvard graduate. It was a slightly new world to me, the introduction to design thinking, but in some ways I think that was ideal because I think if you have been in the industry for a long time then you get a little bit used to some of the concepts, whereas this was mostly new stuff for me.
I've been looking at starting a business and so I've been looking for lots of different models and the heart centered value proposition was the one I think did a wonderful job of bringing in the like-hearted, spiritual side of entrepreneurship, which is exactly what I was looking for."

"The Heart of Design with Peter Gould has been an unforgettable blessing.
Each week I was inspired to reflect within; whilst gaining new life long skills and reconnecting back to our rich tradition. This course will reawaken your inner creativity and align it with our true purpose both in spirituality and life goals.
Upon completing this incredible course, I was equipped with both confidence and heart-centred design principles to transform my vision for a project into reality. This was a dream come true."
