We would love to see you at the next Heart of Now in Portland September 18-20. Heart of Now is a powerful personal growth experience and opportunity. Through listening to ourselves fully, breath and body, mind and emotion, in each moment, each person receives what they need; healing, transformation, clarity, joy, connection. And we practice the Heart of Now in a powerful container of love and support. Each workshop has a skilled and committed assistant team of folks who have taken the course before, and have come back to support you and continue their own growth. Assisting is incredibly popular and we almost always have more assistants than participants. The result is not only powerful personal transformation.
