YOUR HOLINESS was birthed from a deep place in Debbie Ford. Everything she did came from deep inside of her. Because of her own personal transformation, which was both radical and heart-opening, she felt a deep longing to put into words the wisdom and the processes that finally changed her life.
The path to self-love that she discovered and the processes she went through are what she leaves for all of us in her books, programs, products, and coaches who guide people through her revolutionary work.
We at The Ford Institute are honored to continue Debbie's legacy so that you can continue to experience the profound genius of all that Debbie Ford created.

Step Two: Come to The Shadow Process Workshop
When Debbie appeared on Super Soul Sunday with Oprah Winfrey in February of 2012, she said, "If I could, I would take the whole world through The Shadow Process." This workshop, the gold standard in transformational, experiential workshops, is the cornerstone of our work and the synthesis of all that Debbie learned and valued.
We are offering The Shadow Process twice in 2018: April 6th to 8th in Los Angeles and September 14h to 16th in Miami. Click to learn more.
