Welcome to J'aime ona Pangaia's reading room. I've assembled all the articles and short teachings I've written to help you get a better sense of Voice Dialogue and also as a way for you to discover my way of seeing and sharing this work. I'm also including several articles by Hal and Sidra Stone, the founders of Voice Dialogue. You can find even more of their articles on their own website. This page here is regularly updated since I continue to write on Voice Dialogue and consciousness studies themes frequently. Check back regularly. I also post some of these shorter writings on my facebook page named Voice Dialogue, on which you're welcome to friend me.

  • The Basic Elements - gives the story of our journey and the way in which our work evolved. It was originally written in 2007, the year we reached our 70th and 80th birthdays. Our aim in this article is to share with you the combined personal and professional "joint venture" that has been our life's work. In it, we describe what we currently see as the most important aspects of our work, the history of its evolution, and trace back to our initial sources of inspiration. We have recently re-formatted this article and added photos to make it attractive as well as informative. We encourage you to download it and to print it out.
  • Dreams as a Window to your Inner Selves - (from Partnering: A New Kind of Relationship)
  • The Inner Critic - a clear description of how this self operates in us and what it sounds like
