Where Is Your HEART! Taking You Now?
Saniel Bonder & Linda Groves-Bonder Take HEART!™ Tour 2010 The Next Leading Edge of Your Ongoing Transformation ~ a personal and community empowerment ~ About Saniel & Linda's Take HEART!™ Tour Starting in the spring of 2009, Saniel and Linda began traveling frequently around the U.S. and to other countries to offer their "extraordinary blessing, inspiration and empowerment" to those in need – and also to other leaders, teachers, artists, scientists, and others serving humanity and life on Earth in these increasingly challenging times. Through introductory "HEARTgazing™" gatherings, workshops, retreats, private and couples counseling, and personal meetings, Saniel and Linda bring their unique transmission of the HEART and deeply personable encouragement and support to all who might benefit. They plan extensive stays in each area to be able to meet and work with all who wish to partake of their offerings. In addition to serving their human brothers and sisters, during these travels Saniel and Linda also make pilgrimages of blessing service to places of great beauty and spiritual eminence, human and natural, and to infamous places of terrible tragedy, heartbreak, and atrocity. The first of those was a prayer session at Ground Zero in New York City in late March 2009. Then the Tour to the UK last winter began with visits to Stonehenge, Glastonbury, and other sites of great mystery and spiritual energy in England. About the Where Is Your HEART Taking You Now? weekend events Do you know where you're going to?For people involved in our kind of transformational and integrative work, questions like these from a song made famous by Diana Ross become very real and pressing. What about you? Do you know...? The HEART is your divinely human nature, forever coming more alive and awake and prompting continual healing, growth, awakenings, and unfolding. This weekend-long intensive retreat with us is designed to address each person's "next leading edge" of ongoing transformation – in a way that empowers both that individual and also the whole community of those participating in the retreat together. We'll help you explore these questions and others like them, and may be able to help you reframe your take on what's going on in your life, why, what it means ... and where it's leading you. That, plus the infusion of divine, radiant joy and fullness that we all share, the delight in coming together with old friends and new, and the mysterious current of confidence in Being that tends to get amplified for all of us when we spend this much concentrated time face to face, will make, for most everyone who attends, a most memorable and stirring weekend. – Larry Dossey, author of The Extraordinary Healing Power of Ordinary Things Format of the Retreat The core of the retreat will be a block of time – around 25 minutes to a half hour – when each of you will share what's presently up for you and, as adept facilitators, we'll work with you directly. We welcome you to bring up literally any issues, challenges, and enterprises, positive or difficult, that are the cutting edge for you right now, or, if you don't have one, whatever you're moved to share. Other participants will be welcome to speak but their primary role will be to hold the space for you and to take in what is happening, including how we are responding to you; that might be inspiring or instructive for them too. Our work will include conversation and may also involve meditating, gazing, laying on of hands, or the specific kinds of "awakened shamanic" service we call "spirit invocation" or "spirit relocation." We may utilize any of our teachings – on awakening (Waking Down in Mutuality), relationship and relating (The Tantra of Trust), empowerment and manifestation (The Force of Destiny) – and any benign methods that recommend themselves in the moment in our white-hot, HEART-adept communion with you. These may include movement, dance, improvisation, music, Linda's singing and toning, Saniel's flute, and more. These personal passages won't be our only format for the retreat work. You'll also have triad or small group time, and we'll have group meditations, a HEARTgazing session, breaks, more music, movement and dance in the large group format. We also invite you to bring musical instruments, poetry, and other modes of creative expression that we'll use during the workshop when the time feels right. – Pat Parisi, Livingston Manor, NY Prerequisites This event is only for serious, established practitioners of our work, whether in the general Waking Down in Mutuality culture or with us, Saniel and Linda, personally. There won't be time for introductory conversations and we expect everyone who attends to have a good basic grasp of our teachings. Also, space is strictly limited to 16 participants, so reserve your spot as soon as you can.

It's our blessed privilege to directly transmit that whole-being food through gaze, touch, teachings, music, and simple presence, from both near and far. We call it 'the HEART,' the human and divine essence of being alive. And it is so natural to take it in and make it your own that you may soon find it easy and delightful to help others in similar ways. It spontaneously moves you to love, trust, wisdom, and to greater confidence in realizing who you are, in your full humanness and real divinity. This primal nurturance helps heal the "Spirit/Matter split" that's been at the core of human consciousness and culture for thousands of years. It can help each of us become whole, sane, and capable of fulfilling our destinies. And, not a moment too soon! Now is the time for everyone to heal, grow, awaken, and make inspired, collaborative contributions that all humanity and life on this planet so urgently call forth from each and every one of us. The Take HEART! Tour is an opportunity for people young and old, of all races, cultures, and beliefs, to celebrate our connection to the HEART, in ourselves and with one another, and strengthen our hearts, minds, and souls to meet the challenges confronting us. With all our hearts, we invite you to come be with us and with one another – so we can all take HEART and give HEART to the whole world! Register now. Blessings,
