"There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action. And because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium – the world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. " ~ Martha Graham

ABOUT HEARTWORK
Heartwork is a simple, direct, powerful, yet gentle tool for opening fully to one’s life. Both a counseling approach and a way of living, Heartwork serves to resolve problems at their core, and to open the heart of compassion.

ABOUT THE RETREAT
The Heartwork Basic Intensive is a breakthrough experience – for most people, a life-changing experience. If there’s something about yourself/life that you sincerely want to change, and are willing to do whatever you have to in order to bring about that change, the Basic Intensive provides you with a unique opportunity to turn your life around. We often tell people we are working with in individual therapy, that the Basic Intensive is usually equivalent to six months to two years of weekly therapy.

The first part of the Intensive is about moving through the internal barriers you have (unconsciously) created that prevent you from having what you really want in your life. Learning how to do this, alone, can be a life-changing experience. Then we ask you to go deep inside yourself, and claim those aspects of your being which you have not yet claimed as your own, the lack of which prevent you from being fully empowered in your life. Once you have truly claimed your “gifts to the world,” you can access these parts of yourself whenever you need them, for the rest of your life. The final task of the Intensive, time permitting, asks you to become conscious of and claim, in a light and playful way, those habitual parts of yourself (ways of being) which keep you from being who you really are.

When a group of people come together for a shared purpose and throw themselves into the work together, an energy is created that is “greater than the sum of the parts” and becomes available for all present to tap into to use in their own work. Also, the process of breaking through internal barriers results in breaking through interpersonal barriers, which creates a bonding that is deeper and closer than most people have experienced previously in their lives. This, too, is life-changing for most people – one is no longer willing to let anything stand in the way of this level of intimacy in one’s important relationships.
