Joyce & Barry Vissell


About the Teacher

Why study with them?

Joyce and Barry Vissell are two people deeply in love since 1964, who have raised three children and “walk their talk.” Their 11 books have been translated into five languages. They lecture and have led over 20 workshops per year internationally to audiences who welcome their warm, relaxed and yet profound wisdom. Joyce and Barry have written a monthly column for over 40 years, which they email for free to their subscribers. These articles also appear in about 80 publications internationally, and countless e-zines, websites (including their own), and blogs.

Ram Dass describes Joyce and Barry Vissell “as a couple who live the yoga of love and devotion.” Marianne Williamson says, “I can’t think of anything more important to the healing of our society than a connection between spirituality, relationship and parenthood. Bravo to the Vissells for helping us find the way.”

The Vissells, since 1983, are the founders and directors of the Shared Heart Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to changing the world one heart at a time (SharedHeart.org).

Joyce and Barry live at their retreat center and home near Santa Cruz, California, where they counsel individuals and couples, and lead retreats and trainings when they’re not travelling.

Go to SharedHeart.org to sign up for their free heartletter and free weekly video inspiration, to read past articles on many aspects of personal growth and relation¬ship, to see their event or workshop schedule, or to contact Barry or Joyce.
