I shall remember Chris as an open, friendly and interesting personality who taught us the roots of Graves theory: ‘the Emergent, Cyclical, Double-Helix Model of adult behaviour systems and their development’. Since 2002 we organized with him and Natasha in The Hague each year these SD courses. It was always pleasant to hear all the […]

I hadn’t seen Chris since December 1998, hadn’t had a meaningful dialogue with him since 2009 and no communication at all since December 2012 (exchange of Christmas greetings). So it’s a measure of the man that I feel compelled to honour his life and his memory. The Beck & Cowan SD-1 workshops of April 1998 […]

I was privileged to know Chris Cowan, as a mentor, instructor and friend for almost twenty years…..I grew with every interaction! My favorite Chis moments, however, were those spent in relaxed conversation, sharing great food, laughs, hugs and feelings in beautiful Santa Barbara. I am grateful. Natasha, I wish you peace.

Chris thank you for what you have given the world…..I myself have learned so much from you and the discussions of films, Pleasantville and Tsotsi in particular, and will never be the same again. Hay Lam Yau August 2, 2015

Dear Natasha family and loved ones from Chris. I wish you all the strength and love that I experienced meeting Chris some years ago. His warm hart and compassion for his environment and the world as a whole inspired me. Just a few weeks ago I learned that he wasn’t coming to the Netherlands this […]

Dear Chris, I was expecting to meet you again, ask you questions about SD and grow thanks to your and Natasha’s experience. I was expecting to see your smile again in a course… I was expecting our paths were going to meet other times. But this is not gonna happen and I’m sad for this. […]

My memories of Chris are one of being warm, peaceful in relation to others and so passionate about the subject matter of his trainings – his beloved Spiral Dynamics. Thank you Chris for integrating as much of Clare Graves work as you could and then sharing that and making it available to other people. You […]
What I will keep in my heart forever is your kindness and generosity. You were an amazing soul, always available and gentle. You were really committed to understand humanity without judgment. I learned a lot from you, but this is what I’ll try to carry on… Keep shining up there and show us all the […]
I extend my deep, sincere condolences to Natasha and all Chris’s near ones. Also, that Chris is gone is a tremendous and very sad loss for us all who knew Chris personally and studied under his invaluable expert guidance and generous support. When I first got interested in Graves’s theory and SD, I chose to […]

Di Chris mi piaceva il modo che aveva di guardare le persone, con gli occhi sorridenti come se stesse sempre cercando di dirti “forza che ce la fai”, il suo senso umoristico e la sua innata capacità di inserirsi nel discorso con una battuta per aggiungere qualcosa di importante. quando facevi un corso con lui […]
