Transformational Program

There is nothing but water in the holy pools.
I know, I have been swimming in them.
All the gods sculpted of wood or ivory can't say a word.
I know, I have been crying out to them.
The sacred Books of the East are nothing but words.
I looked through their covers one day sideways.
What Kabir talks of is only what he has lived through.
If you have not lived through something, it is not true.
—Kabir

The Heartwork Transformational Program (HTP) is designed to assist you to bring the power of Heartwork into your daily life with teachings and guidance from Dale Goldstein, the creator of Heartwork. You will join an interactive and supportive community of individuals from across the globe to learn and practice this contemporary healing work on an ongoing basis.  (View HTP 2008-09 Brochure)

HTP is an annual program offering an extended, intensified immersion into the Heartwork process with three primary goals for participants to achieve:

  • A basic experiential and conceptual understanding of Heartwork.

  • A fundamental understanding of how to use the Heartwork process as a tool for one's own personal growth and service with others; and, most importantly,

  • Claiming as much of one's truth as possible.

Members are taught tools for inner work to build and deepen their personal daily practice, as well as trading sessions with an HTP partner. The group meets via conference calls twice a month where members work one-on-one with Dale in a space of community, connection, and guidance. The highlight of the HTP year is a four-day retreat just for members. All aspects of the HTP are optional.

Registration and Application

The membership fee is $127 per month per year. This fee includes the registration fee and room/board for the HTP Retreat ($1040 of the total HTP fee). The prerequisite for joining the program is participation in a three-day or longer Heartwork event, or six months of private work with Dale.

HTP brings structure, guidance, and deepening to my life practice. I find myself counting down the days till our group conference calls. It's much more than a phone call, these calls are full of love, support, sharing, vulnerability, trust, and guidance. My individual and partner work are the lovely jewels that twinkle and sparkle every time I keep my commitment to shine. For me, HTP is taking Heartwork and bringing it home.

It is really important for me to share my HTP experiences…I am amazed at the depth of the inner work that has been accomplished with my buddy…the fact that we have never met before makes it even more profound…what matters most is our commitment to doing our work and REALLY being present and supportive of each other…I so look forward to our phone visits as well as our monthly conference calls with the HTP community...building community of like minded people has been my deepest desire...and to really put this into daily life has made a tremendous difference in my life. I feel much more connected and thus less isolated…to see and feel the bond deepening is such a blessing…I am truly grateful to Dale and the HTP community.

I am learning to nurture and take care of the child within. I need no one to do this for me...it's learning to take care of me in the moment and in turn doing what I am able to be there for others when the time is needed. I am blessed to be able to do this work with JoAnn and Doug...blessings.

The HTP experience has multiplied my progress towards improving my life and the life of my family exponentially. I have learned that each of us experiences pain, rejection, judgment, and doubt and that each of us thrives with love and kindness and compassion. I have managed to bring this lesson one step further into my life and am learning to nurture myself in new ways to live more consciously and experience each moment for what it "really is". We may all have different jobs and roles in this world, but when it comes to the core of our BEING we all seek the same things, basically love and acceptance. Working together on a core level, we are able to support one another as each of us moves closer and closer to our “true nature."

The HTP is a gift and a challenge for me. Or the challenge is the gift? I come up against my blamer, my victim, my desperate child... but that would always be happening! The difference is, with the HTP, I am now doing it with awareness and also finding that I am not alone! I am getting as much, if not more, out of listening to others do their work as I am in doing my own processing. Hearing Dale's gentle response to each individual, I feel I am each one of them. I share their pain, and I gain from the healing they enact as they commit to experiencing their pain fully.

Sometimes, I am frustrated that I can not reach out and touch each one of them, as I can in a Heartwork event, but I think that the quality of the group silence on the phone as each person works with Dale is a great beginning. For me it feels like a step toward realizing my dream of a living in a community, a tribe, a village, where people are committed to living in respect for all beings, including themselves.
