What makes Heart Speak so special…

Heart Speak is a visual expression of Parker J. Palmer's classic book Let Your Life Speak — in collaboration with the author.

It includes more than seventy heartfelt images that convey Parker’s insights with whimsy and grace.

Heart Speak invites you to explore and embrace your limits and potential. It encourages you to tune into your inner voice and courageously follow its lead so you can align your work in the world with your soul’s calling.

This little red book is a unique sensory experience that invites you to explore your goals, values, and vocation with more purpose and joy!

Want to know the Heart Speak origin story?

It all started with a conversation with my husband’s grandmother Janet.

“Palmer’s words combined with Knezel’s illustrations carefully explore unconscious behaviors, patterns, relationships, and thoughts of everyday existence. This book provides a real road map for clinicians, help groups, parents, families, and friends to contemplate and engage in conversations that lead to movement, growth, and healing. But experience this book for yourself first. It’s a true gift!”
— Pardeep Singh Kaleka, | Coauthor of The Gifts of Our Wounds
