Dear Friend of Heartwork,
The months have been months of unfolding for many in the Heartwork Community.
HTP, AHTP, and The Death March got off to a GREAT start in May, and June brought
us a most inspiring Heartwork Retreat in New York.
The Death Marchers are marching! They are a small and very intensely focused group
of individuals who want to explore, as profoundly as possible, the depth and breadth
of Being - all aspects of it: the spiritual, the personal, and the interpersonal.
The Heartwork Retreat, as always, was awe-inspiring. Many participants were able
to open their hearts and minds in new and life-changing ways.
The level of dedication to the Heartwork process that many currently have is most
inspiring me to give more and deeper teachings to those willing to "walk the walk."
There is no greater joy I can imagine!
Blessings to all on your journey,
Dale

Inquiry Group forming
Inquiry is a dynamic, open-ended exploration into the immediacy of our experience
to more deeply understand the mystery of who and what we truly are. The practice
is based on a simple but profound principle: Being freely reveals itself to anyone
who loves to know the truth of reality and is willing to wholeheartedly surrender
to not-knowing and remain open to and curious about truth. To paraphrase George
Washington Carver's reply upon being asked how he discovered the thousands of uses
for the lowly peanut, "If you love something deeply enough, it will reveal all its
secrets to you."
We will meet for three hours once-a-month for six months.
Dates and times will be determined by the availability of the group members.
Fee: $300 for 6 sessions. HTP participants receive a 25% discount.

I and Thou Retreat - October 20-24, 2010
In this retreat, we will look at how our relationships serve as vehicles for personal
and spiritual growth. We will look deeply into the issues we have with others,
and see, mirrored back to us, aspects of our own being that we have rejected. We
can then embrace and reincorporate those aspects back into our being, becoming whole
again in the places where we have split off from ourselves. By opening fully to
our deep yearnings for what we don't have in relationship, we can access the deep
wounds in our soul and heal them at their core.
This is a 4-day residential workshop being held at a beautiful Commanders Point
Estate in Austin.
Body/Energy work will be offered by JoAnn Gorka and Margie Mensik.
A detailed brochure will be available soon... mark your calandar and tell your friends..

A/HTP Annual Program
Registration is still open
For details on the complete program see HTP Flyer
This year's HTP includes a very special extra program that is designed for those
who wish to plumb the depths of Heartwork. "The Death March" includes all aspects
of the AHTP, plus two two-hour conference calls each month. The meetings include
individual work, group work, and discussion, with a commitment to not hold back!
We look together as deeply as we possibly can - minute-after-minute, hour-after-hour,
meeting-after-meeting, month-after-month - using the energy of our collective intention
as a powerful support for our inquiry into Who and What we really are, and What
this is all about.
Words from two who are on the march:
"I enter the Death March and unzip! Without holding back, I jump right in and share/do
work on whatever is up for me and I can practically feel the group gently holding
me in their safe space. We've only had two phone calls and already the connection
among the participants is strong and the intimacy palpable. The energy of the group
is a profound and powerful support for my growth. There is flexibility in the phone
calls without being unstructured. I like that the agenda is unknown for each phone
call - it's a wonderful opportunity to live in the moment and allow whatever is
present to just be. Whatever my mood was entering the phone call, both times I have
left the phone call open hearted and filled with love. Remembering the feeling just
makes my heart soar!! With my deep commitment to impeccable honesty and no holding
back, I continue to access more of my true essence. Participating in the Death March
is sacred to me and I am truly honored for this gift of myself, to myself."
"Participation in this group is assisting the allowing of my inner-self to unfold
gently and consistently."

Heartwork Retreat - June 2010
- Participants share
"I learned that I have sooooo much love to bring to the world. I learned that my
compassion has the potential to not have any limitations. Learned that my love
for myself can be unlocked and it feels incredible. I wish I would have done this
many years ago." -Jason
"This is a new beginning! Not only for myself but everyone I can touch with the
experience. No matter how big or small it will affect them." -Andy
"Immediately I felt it imperative that I grow up in some respects and love, behold
and nurture my beautiful boy, the one inside and the one standing before me." -Rob
"Being is awareness. Perhaps the biggest impact was showing up for myself. When
I do I can show up for others." -Colleen
"I Need to allow myself to feel vulnerable in order for my heart to open. It is
necessary for my spiritual growth that I own my neediness." --Pat
