"I find One Two ONE to be comprehensive, profound, visionary, and down-to-earth practical. The book is clear, compelling and user-friendly. It is a rare and beautiful work. I love the photos of the authors: two people who are obviously (and tenderly) demonstrating loving intimacy. I also liked some of the personal examples drawn from the authors' life experiences. It is the one book in the field of human intimacy, commitment rituals, and relationships that I'd recommend most, above even the books of Gay and Kathlyn Hendricks, which are excellent."—Richard Whitehurst is a consciousness researcher, psychotherapist, and poet and author of The Internal Forest: An Experiential Guide to Maha-mantra Yoga
"In the creation of this inspiring work, David and Lila have drawn upon the wealth of their life experiences and depth of spiritual understanding, weaving tender personal stories with wise counsel and practical tools. My husband and I have already put many suggestions into practice as we advise couples and officiate at weddings. One Two ONE is a brilliant and valuable contribution to all couples seeking to experience their relationship as a spiritual practice and desiring to cultivate a conscious co-creative partnership."—Katharine Roske, co-author of The Co-Creator's Handbook, co-founder and steward of Hummingbird Community, and minister
"As a leader of relationship workshops, nationally and internationally, I am finding that people are hungry for just what the Tresemers offer in One Two ONE: uplifting ideas, realistic exercises, and a respectful, spiritual guide for couples wanting greater emotional intimacy and well-being. It is a treasure, opening many doors to love."—Christine Hibbard, Ph.D., clinical psychotherapist, professor of transpersonal psychology
"David and Lila invite us to explore and express our deepest yearning to be fully and vibrantly who we are in our sacred relationship. In service of this they bring tools—both concrete and mystical—through which they mentor us each step of the way."—Shana Parker, Ph.D., Heart Vision/Licensed Psychologist The founders of The StarHouse in Colorado bring us this guidebook for all aspects of intimate partnerships—beginnings, re-commitment, and even healthy endings. A relationship is an opportunity for growth an spiritual maturity, and the authors provide exercises for partners to explore themselves and each other more fully within the context of intimacy. One Two One includes innovative tools for designing rituals (weddings or other) that best express individual and universal aspects of loving relationships.
