Heartwork Retreats

I found that I was looking for love but not willing to give love for fear of rejection.  That I look for approval of others instead of giving it to myself and that many other "unique individuals" whether in relationships or not have fear and suffering and neediness as well.—Kate

I can live my life fully around the physical pain.—Jill

I started learning how to use soft belly meditation and unwinding to come back to myself and awaken more of my whole being. —David

Being is awareness.  Perhaps the biggest impact was showing up for myself. When I do I can show up for others. —Colleen

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

I have a little girl inside me that I left a long time ago and she needs me and I need her.—Cheryl

The level that known events in my life impacted and held me back from being present in the present.  This experience has allowed me to incorporate my journey thus far in this Life, so I can stop not living getting in my way. To live the life I have created now, being present, and then from that higher level of experience, choose what to create next.—Dan

I received myself with less resistance than ever. It was as though 'I' got out of the way during those quiet times. And that experience leads me to know how painful it gets when 'I' do get in my way.—Nancy Ruby

I can move again. I can be with myself. I am alive. There is blood and life flowing in me—not the concrete that was sitting on me and stuck inside of me. Thank you Dale for your very hard work, your dedication and patience. You have truly developed an incredible approach and way of life. I want to continue to be a part of the mission of Heartwork. It’s saving me!! —Marlene Madia

This workshop enabled me for the first time, in so many years, to find peace. —Gary Arnold

By getting into my body, waking up my heart, I not only knew how I needed to change but I fell in love with myself for the first time. By working through it with my resistance, I learned gentleness. I became aware of the violence I perpetrated on myself by forcing, enduring, ignoring and coping. The gentleness released my love. I feel a need to study or be with or visit holy places – but now that I think of it—the holy place is inside. —Pat Mueller

This workshop was so much more than I could have hoped for. It has really changed my life. I finally found myself, my child and my spirituality. The entire week was so moving for me and to watch the rest of the participants was such a gift.
I have always thought and felt that someone else had to be present for me to be happy. I learned that I can be my best friend. —Nonie Natoli
