Letting Go III Retreat

Heartwork is a process of "letting go with awareness into the Truth of one's Being-in-the-moment." This process is the essential foundation of Heartwork, through which Heartwork came into existence and continues to evolve. In this retreat, you will be taught the Heartwork tools for letting go, and then you will be given wide open space to find your own way using these tools. The two fundamental instructions for this retreat are:

“Watch increasingly closely to see if you are pushing away, fighting against, or running away from anything that is happening in your being in-the-moment, and when you find yourself doing any of these things, stop and let go into what is happening;” and, “Ask yourself, 'What do I really need right now?' And then give it to yourself.”

These two processes, combined, allow one to go very deeply into one's True Nature – that which is not separate from others, nature, God. (view prior retreats brochure)

Words from those who attended the Letting Go III retreat in September 2011:

Before this, meditation was just about working on Presence.  This opened me up to being Present to my stuff.   I found that after a thought train has carried me off, at the moment I come back to myself I can see/feel an emotional fragment pointing towards the hook that it used.  Then I can sit with that hook cradled in my awareness.  – Ken Rich

I am a joy-filled man resting inside of nothing.  I am at PEACE.  – Brian Stovall

I gained more insight than I expected.  It gave me what I needed and wanted: the beginning of my new path of personal freedom.  – Pat Thompson

I got in touch with the different forces/stories inside of me.  I got in touch with my body.  – Dan Kelly

Using the concentration and the tools will make it easier for me when I go home.  – Dan Apt

The best word I can use to describe the retreat is “beautiful”.  It was gentle, yet had the necessary amount of structure and firmness to support my inner journey.  – Mike Boyack

I feel more at peace with myself than I ever have in my whole life.  – Cheryl Barron

I loved the mindfulness and the structure of this retreat.  – Michell Hays

I have more of a commitment to living in Loving Presence.  – Bill Vosteen

Letting go is not, as it turned out for me, a “magical” experience, but has proven to be quiet and grounding, a slow motion wave into eternity.  – Nancy Ruby

I was amazed at the meditations and the understanding that Heartwork brings to that process of opening.  It all came together for me – all the years of work and practice.  Each piece was a jewel – well timed, gentle, and deep.  – Dana Kilgore

My learning is not complete.  But I know if I pass through the fear again and again, I will be open and able to gently appreciate more, and close myself off less.  – Michele Baldwin

I learned that I can be quietly alone without any input, unless I choose it.  – Carol Preston
