HTP will work with the teachings of the "Healing Relationships" in greater depth than was possible in the Relationship retreat, itself.
AHTP ("Accelerated HTP" group - within the HTP) participants will have the opportunity to explore this "material" in even greater depth.
This year’s HTP will explore relationship. Specifically, we will look at the factors that create intimacy and healing in relationships, and explore and gain insight into those factors that create separation and dis-ease.
We will work with the “Relationship Transformers” – the tools Dale has found to have the most profoundly transforming effect on relationships in his 40+ years of personal work and working extensively with relationship issues.
We will work with the material primarily experientially, but will include reading material to enhance the learning. John Welwood’s book, “Journey of the Heart,” will serve as a foundational reading for the work, along with Marshall Rosenberg’s “Non-Violent Communication.” The format will be similar to this year’s study of the Precepts, except that the Mini-Retreats will be incorporated into the curriculum to greatly enhance the depth of learning.
Due to the remarkable depth of work that has been experienced in this year’s Mini-retreats, we will be doing 6 Mini-Retreats next year – every other month, alternating months with the Inquiry Group. Because of the way the Mini-Retreats will be integrated into the material we will be working with, it is most highly recommended that everyone sign up for the 6 Mini-Retreats, which will cost an additional $100 (just $50 each, as opposed to the $150 “market value.”). Those who wish to do both the Mini-Retreats and the Inquiry Group will have to pay an additional fee.

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.
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.
- Claiming as much of one's truth as possible.
The prerequisite for joining the program is prior participation in a residential Heartwork event, six months of private work with Dale, or equivalent experience.
HTP Membership benefits:
- Daily practice of Heartwork tools.
- Bi-weekly Heartwork session trades with other HTP members.
- Monthly conference calls which, this year, will focus on the 10 Cardinal Precepts of Buddhism**. Each month, we will work with one of the Precepts, practicing it in our daily living and inquiring into it in order to understand its nature and meaning for our lives.
- HTP members have the choice of participating in an Inquiry Group that meets every other month, or in the Mini-Retreats that are held quarterly.
- The highlight of the HTP year is a four-day retreat exclusively for members.
- Access to private website with HTP information, and members' pages.
- Get a 25% discount on all Heartwork Institute sponsored events.
- We are developing a program to train individuals to facilitate Heartwork sessions with others. The HTP will be a prerequisite for this training program.
- Participation in all aspects of the program is optional.
The membership fee for the HTP is $1704 per year, including the travel sharing fee (helps subsidize the additional expenses for members coming from a distance for the annual retreat). The yearly fee includes the registration fee and room/board for the HTP Retreat ($1040 of the total HTP fee). Members commit to a full year of HTP and all fees associated with participation.

New Insights from the HTP Retreat 2009
I am aware in a new way of how I stuff my feelings of hurt/pain – and how very destructive that is to those I love and especially how painful it is to me.
I saw how much I enjoy doing this work. That it is the only way for me to live – that I can't back away from it. I also saw that as I got more familiar with some of the emotional terrain that is inside me, that I can do it. And now I'm more willing and able to do it.
We are all on the "same" journey, simply at different stages. It was such an honor to witness those who are "closer" to their true spiritual self. And, people in this retreat seemed to really honor and support each other right where they are. People took responsibility for their own "stuff".
How truly connected we are... we are all one, I feel this will help me with my "ego" work
My Life is not perfect (now I can grow)
I can not have my needs met without asking for what I need and to remember to ask what the other might need. I am so full of love and believe in myself that it is always available.
It is so important to be open to receiving our gifts so that we can share them with the world. Resisting feeling is true suffering.
a. I really got that we are all one and I was able to see some of the parts of me that are represented in others in HTP including Dale.
b. I felt open-ness and love.
c. I realized how much of an effect another's open-ness or closed-ness effects me.
d. I was able to see how I shield myself from getting hurt in relationship.
e. I was able to see how that shielding effects others and then causes me to shield more.
f. I was able to see that I need to love myself sincerely and many of my problems will be solved.
I found that the community is essential to me and my journey, my process...everything. My biggest breakthrough yet, came to me during this Retreat. Again, the format really made this possible (at least I feel that it did).
* I need grounding (earth – well, I already know that - but I learned how to get into it.
* I glimpsed what it would be like to fully integrate my sexuality into my being
* Found my Panther ! my power animal – this is linked to the grounding
* came face to face with my resistance – learned to be with it, acknowledge it in order to keep going / Loving / learning Where true power comes from, at least for me.
My presence is my connection with my essence, my true being. It is my connection to God and the only way that I can connect with others. It is the only way that I can truly find value within myself and give the gifts that I have been given by God, other beings, and the journey of my life. It is also the only way that I can find what I need and truly want. It is the only way that I can truly feel love!
