Releasing is a simple and very profound process that anyone can use. By letting go of negative thoughts, feelings and emotional blocks we immediately become more loving, peaceful, happy and successful.
Heart of Releasing, Inc. began as Center for Releasing, Inc. in 2015 by lifelong friends and Releasers, Kate Freeman and Rick Solomon.
Rick and Kate were both trained by Lester Levenson to be Releasing teachers in the 1980s. They were excited to share with the world in a much larger way Lester’s simple and very deep way of Releasing.
They trained many coaches and teachers, created varied courses and profound retreats. They shared this vibrant way of Releasing with so many around the world as CFR grew.
In 2018, Rick decided to bring his teaching of releasing into the business community through his company, The Center for Enlightened Business. At the same time, Kate changed the name to Heart of Releasing, Inc. and began to make BIG changes.

Kate's Journey with Lester Levenson
On a hot June day in 1981 Phoenix, I met a man who had already changed my life. He was a small, gentle man with silver hair and a soft voice. I met him the Sunday after a two weekend course that I knew would change my life forever. Lester Levenson came to the little ‘graduation’ that was given for the small group of us, maybe 10 or so, who had learned to Release. He talked softly, easily. Now I don’t even remember what he said, for there was so much that came after. Many meetings, deep lessons and many, many gifts.
Though it was just the beginning of my journey with Releasing, I knew the morning of that first day that it was a profound new way of being. I had always been overly emotional, with crying coming far too naturally, and seeking love, a love that would finally make me happy, my constant and most deeply held interest. I had never seemed to find a love that lasted and crying seemed to pour out of me as I looked for a salve that would make the pain end.
When I realized that first morning, that I could actually let the sadness, the pain and the sense of yearning go, it was as if the skies had opened up and the wind had blown the troubles away. I knew the world would never be the same.
Lester seemed to turn up often in the days and weeks after I took that course. I remember shortly afterward that Ram Das came to town and my husband and I were planning to go. As I got out of the car that was taking a group of us to lunch, I asked Lester if he was going too. “Oh no,” he said, “We leaders don’t have much to share with each other.”
I looked at him closely and the thought came, “Well if he is a leader like Ram Das, he is more than I had thought he was.”
So I started working with Lester at the Releasing office in 1982 and was chosen for teacher training in 1984. This was intensive and included ego confrontations and very deep explorations of what was in the way of being the best teacher we could be.
Lester would often have dinner with a group of us at local restaurants where we could ask questions and encourage him to go deeper into the teachings. He often spoke to people across the table from me but knew it was directly to me. He found ways to be very gentle with all of us while encouraging us to go higher and higher.
He had a way of very simply explaining things with 2 or 3 words that was very powerful. Even today, I remember things he said and realize what he was speaking about back then. It was like he planted seeds in us that would flower at the right time.
From the day I met him I knew I was meant to teach and he encouraged me in so many ways. It feels important to pass on this great gift of Releasing…to you!
