I also loved how her wonderfully instructive and delightful case studies so effectively brought home her points. I don't know of any other book that so thoroughly, thoughtfully and easily presents the ways to create and use a personal sanctuary, along with such creative tools to use there.  Silvia's imaginative integration of the "sanctuary" with so many of the "alternative" healing approaches popular today presents a set of skills useful to all.

I have already used her approach with some of my clients, and the outcomes have been very positive and rewarding to all of us. I strongly recommend this book as a 'must' in any professional or personal
library.

Michael C. Pollack, Ph.D.

The more I read Silvia Hartmann-Kent's incredible book "Project Sanctuary", the more possibilities I see. 

This work exhibits not only an incredibly deep knowledge and appreciation of the nature and power of metaphor, but also amazing creativity.  

As far as I can see, working with metaphor in the way she suggest is ten times more powerful than standard metaphorical applications because it makes the unconscious itself into the creator or builder.  It's also more fun and a whole lot more gentle and respectful.

In my opinion, this is "must read" for any psychologist and personal development practitioner.

Jane Simmons, MCBH, HLP, MNGH

I've introduced sanctuary work into my practice.  It is a great trance inducer, in a very natural way, and I find my clients getting some surprising personal revelations from their own "visions" and the meanings they ascribe.  The dream records that precede and follow the therapy sessions are quite interesting, and evidence that the unconscious is using sanctuary work and dreaming to move forward on the healing journey.

Deana Wilcox, Clinical Hypnotherapist, Holistic Counsellor

What makes this work even more valuable than that however, turning it into a "must have" book, is that its simple, conversational, presentation makes it easily accessible to the beginner, yet offers a unique and powerful tool for all healing professionals"

I must confess to having heaved a heavy sigh prior to opening the document. As a neurolinguist, I find much of the New Age writings lacking in content and structure.

From the start, your use of language amazed me. I was determined to track the structures,  state chains, post hypnotic suggestions and loops, but in spite of my best efforts, I kept being "sucked in" by the content and found myself drifting off right into wherever you wanted me to be at the time.

This is not an experience I have had before with any book to this degree; I can only conclude that your use of the processes of languaging is nothing short of masterful.

As to the process itself, it is very interesting and rests on some very intriguing pre-suppositions. 

Although I don't agree with all of them, it makes for a mind expanding experience. I have tried the process for myself, and I can honestly say that it is easy to use and most baffling in it's intricacies. I also believe that it is probably more powerful than you think it is. 

I sincerely hope that your language survives the editing process intact. 

To sum up, this is a most unusual book in every sense, bursting with creativity, ideas and imagination. I defy anyone to read it and not be changed by it.

Thanks for letting me experience it and I'm sure it will be a runaway success

I found your style very personal and warm which would engage the reader in the process with some sense of human connection and support. This would allow entrance into the process to be
less fearful. The constant implication and statement of safety and personal power are important aspects, in my opinion, which encourage the use of this tool for personal growth. 

The use of many and various case examples would give each reader multiple chances to meet aspects of self which could benefit from using the Global Metaphor Therapy as a personal tool, not just another mental construct with which to play intellectual; a real tool, for real work, for real movement and change.

Walk in Peace,

I found the book to be easy reading and written in a very practical tone. I can quite easily relate (both from having personally being there as well as professionally in dealing with clients and co-workers in the field) to how people tend to mess themselves us and are forever looking for problems or believing that their problems can never be solved.

I believe that the book reflects the desire and fulfills the need of contemporary people who are sick and tired of being sick and tired trying to solve their apparently "unsolvable" problems - or as you say, those who are "running after their problems" all the time. The law of energy is that whatever you put your attention, your energy will follow into it - thus more problems. You get what you "pray" for. I definitely agree with the idea that a true spirituality  is grounded in reality, is extremely necessary if an individual is grow on a real basis. 

Your book shows people how they can change their internal "metaphorical world" and thus effect outer event. I believe this to be a most empowering technique, because it puts the power back in the hands of the "client", where it rightly belongs.... It gives them hope that they can bring about changes in those special stuck situations. or those in which they have painted themselves into a corner.

I believe that every person who has gotten to the point of wondering why their life is not working like they wish it would, needs to read this book! They need to make Project Sanctuary their primary project!

This is a must reading for all those who are serious in making change in their life. I, for one, am definitely going to incorporate these principles in my own life and my professional work.

"Project Sanctuary" is a piece of work in which every therapist of every persuasion ought to be vitally interested.  It provides an unprecedented opportunity to communicate with one's unconscious mind through the generation of symbol and metaphor, thus having rapid, ecological effect on the "real" world.  Best of all, it offers work which _every_ client seems to _want_ to do!

"Project Sanctuary" is a piece of work every NLPer should rush to buy.  If Design Human Engineering (tm) has never made sense to you, maybe because you didn't want to turn into a "machine-head" -- get this book.  DHE becomes the way it should be:  effortless.

"Project Sanctuary" is a piece of work every layperson should have their hands on.  It's a problem solver extraordinaire, it's a personal growth tool par excellence, it's a creativity generator like nothing else I've ever encountered, it's an all-up incredible companion to life's journeys.

If this book isn't purchased in the millions, the world's got rocks in its head!
Best wishes, and thanks for giving me the opportunity to review your wonderful work.  

I hope it sells millions, not only because I wish you wealth, but because I wish the world its contents.
