Presence Retreats

 This workshop helped me see… how I live so much of life repressing all awareness of the interconnectedness of life. I discovered a lot about how I work to keep [my habitual illusion of self] alive, how painful that is and how much subtle, often unregistered violence comes out of that. I am incredibly thankful for Heartwork.  When I got back home, there was an incredibly difficult situation awaiting me which I met with a very different energy than I normally would have.  Thank you.  Thank you.  Thank you.

The Presence Retreat taught me how to come back home, how to inhabit my body, how to comfort myself, and most importantly how to have compassion and forgiveness and Love for all parts of my Being…  when I allow myself to come back home, I am so much more capable, stable, content, and Loving.  I have taken time since the retreat to practice my new skills and they are working.  I am so grateful for this incredible GIFT and am still trying to grasp how all of this knowing came together for me in 5 short days.

Thank you for providing the opportunity that allowed me to be still , be quiet, experience deep and transformative ways of being – now. The rest is up to me, to integrate this possibility into my life.

Oh my goodness! I really got to being with myself, and was okay with it. What a clearing! I felt people and energy, and connection deeper and in ways that I never have before. Not just love either; pain, grief, fear, everything! I also loved having practice time to do some processing that I needed. What I want next is MORE!

—Lindsey Morrison

I was absolutely satisfied. The new tools I gained will help me heal parts that I actually thought incapable of healing. I can participate in my own healing. Heartwork is truly a family for me and in this safe and sacred space I am able to see more about the true nature of myself, others, and the world in which we live.
