Come practice being fully present, breath and body, mind and emotion. Not just when you’re by yourself, but when you are with others. We’ll explore connection, and our sources of joy. We will follow our curiosity and see what we can learn from others who trigger us. This is an introduction to the powerfully transformational Heart of Now weekend workshops that have served more than 1,500 Oregonians.

At our weekend workshops, the saying "The truth is within you" comes to life. The Heart of Now leads you through a set of exercises where you’ll be encouraged to notice your thoughts and words, your sensations and feelings in a number of different settings; one-on-one, small groups and large groups, in stillness and in movement. You’ll be supported in your exploration by the open-hearted questions and reflection of other participants and our large, committed assistant team. The Heart of Now specifically focuses on feeling and releasing emotion; noticing and changing restrictive ideas we have about ourselves and others, including self-judgment; practicing open-hearted honesty, first with ourselves, then others; and connecting with our dreams and passions and letting those be the focus of our lives. This brings each individual wherever they need to go. It brings clarity to those with confusion, healing to those carrying emotional burdens, connection to those who feel isolated, and inspiration to those who feel stuck.The Heart of Now works well for couples as well as individuals, as each member of the couple gets time to focus on themselves as an individual, and time to be supported as a couple.

In the last portion of our workshop, the Heart of Now focuses on bringing what you’ve learned into the rest your life. The Heart of Now also provides several ways for you to continue your growth and your connection with the Heart of Now community including shorter practice groups for Heart of Now grads (monthly in Oregon, and occasionally at our other sites around the country). The Heart of Now also offers several advanced workshops, and opportunities to assist at any future Heart of Now courses. We are developing a web connection for Heart of Now grads from around the country to discuss their experiences with one another.

Here’s what a couple of Heart of Now graduates had to say about their experience:

"What was revealed to me in all the eyes, tears and smiles of the weekend is the beauty of myself and the awesome power I have to choose that which enhances this unfolding experience of life."

-Seth

"Participating in the Heart of Now as both a student and assistant has deepened connection with myself, others, and spirit. The practice of honesty is so empowering in my life. I breathe, tune into my body, see what is real for me, and speak my truth – letting go of wanting any results. I continue to be blown away when I share with others something that I thought was wrong with me, and it actually brings me closer to them. I feel this energy running through my body that had not been there for a long time."

-Deb C.

"I love and accept who I am so much more now. There are some great people in this world. I’m not alone anymore."

-Ann H.
