I have used the concepts, group processes, and cooperative games [the Luvmours] teach in my work with my family, with teams, corporations, and our board of directors. Their work is life changing, and Josette and Ba approach people and groups with passion and heart, as well as the "kid" in themselves.
-- JAN GREEN BERNAU, Project and Staff Development Manager, Willamette Valley Vineyards

In addition to playing together with a spirit of collaboration rather than competition, our teachers find that de-briefing after playing these games gives us rich fodder to explore group dynamics.
-- PAUL FREEDMAN, Head of School, Salmonberry, and President, SelfDesign Graduate University
