Delightful Shift	What a delightful shift! From a place of upset, something's missing, what's wrong with me, how can I fix it, or meet someone who will fix it for me, to peacefully, joyfully embracing the dance of discovery, intimacy, love and connection as it arises. Rachael Brennan
For many years now	For many years now I have had to be so strong. I have protected my heart with an armour breastplate. When I came to Level 1 I had no expectations and a little trepidation, but I discovered a place where I felt safe and loved and accepted as I was. I could share my fears and vulnerabilities without fear of ridicule. I laughed and shared and cried with my fellow angels and when I left on Sunday I felt safe enough to no longer need my armoured heart protector. Thank you to my wonderful buddy, my beautiful small group and to all the fabulous facilitators, team members and of course all my fellow angels. Rosie
Having Joined the Human Race	I am a woman of 75. I have lived a life of isolation since being molested as a small child, with hardly any friends & unable to look anyone in the eye. I have just done three HAI workshops, starting with Pathways to Intimacy, followed by Level one & two. I feel that I have now joined the human race. My life is entirely different. I can look people in the eye & can happily be meeting people & living normally. I feel full of gratitude & cannot praise the HAI workshops more highly. Christina Beaumont
Powerful and Transformational	It took me 10 years to finally take part in a HAI Miracle of Love workshop...and it was so worth the wait. I don't think I have ever experienced such a powerful, transformational and moving weekend. It was only just over 2 days but felt like a blissful, emotional month. The gentle waves of love that wash over every participant will remind you what it means to be human, to be both utterly vulnerable and powerful, and to be unconditionally loved. Only days after the workshop, I have seen dramatic changes in the way I communicate with partner and friends and my relationship with gorgeous children, and I have broken through blocks in my creative ambitions that have stood for over a year. I look forward to the positive changes that continue to occur. I would recommend HAI workshops to anyone and certainly plan to take part in further levels myself. Brendan
Powerful Experience	A very powerful experience; maybe the most powerful one I've ever had in a group setting. If one really wants to learn & grow about oneself & others with regard to love, then this is the workshop for you. Helpful attitude: courage! Shanti
I am amazed at the love I can now feel...	I am amazed at the love I can now feel and express - this world is a beautiful place. HAI has introduced me to love so now I have an idea what love is, to not feel so afraid to express love, to be able to except love, I am a supporter of HAI. The most amazing wonderfullest weekend I ever had, nothing in my entire 41 years on the planet has had that kind of effect on me. I’m still in awe, I’m still in wonder, I’m still in love. I would like to donate to the scholarship fund, Level 2 here I come! Dave
For the first time in my life...	Thank you one and all for your unconditional love, nurturing, acceptance and support over the weekend. It not only provided me with the sense of safety to enable me to express myself and my truth, within The Love Room but throughout the whole environment. On Wednesday morning when I glanced at myself in the bathroom mirror, I had to take another real look at myself as I didn't initially recognize myself. For the first time in my life I saw a very beautiful radiantly happy smiling face looking back at me and I truly loved who I saw. I know I have never smiled laughed been hugged or loved as much in all the 56 and a half years of my life as I had been with you all weekend and I can see for myself the incredible gift you all gave me. My gratitude to you is all-embracing and ever-lasting. I will never be able to thank you all enough. I not only feel and look like a new woman, I now know that I am a new woman - I'm the beautiful little girl who I've been hiding away to keep safe for all those years, grown up and taking risks that I should have been always taking. Thank you for helping me release myself from that deep dark gaol within. Lorraine
The Easiest Way to Achieve Nirvana...	What a fantastic & fun weekend to find out how it is to look at the world through the eyes of love. To share the space with so many courageous & beautiful souls who are also on a similar journey of discovery is very profound & intense but ultimately an exciting & uplifting experience. I believe that the easiest way to achieve nirvana is to attend a "Miracle of Love" workshop & be prepared for a blissful, entertaining weekend. Natalie
Love and Support	The love and support received by completing a workshop and being involved with HAI is second to nothing I have ever received in my life. Kellie
I've looked in to your eyes, heart and soul	Wow! Thank you for taking the leap and honouring your courage to share last weekend with me. I had different levels of interaction as the weekend progressed but through the grace of hand on heart I know I've looked in to your eyes, heart and soul. Thank you for putting yourself out there for me to meet you with my heart. I came away with a feeling of love for myself emanating from the inside of my being and brilliantly reflected by so many beautiful clear mirrors. You helped me to see myself in this way, thank you. Ishka
Courage, Warmth and Openness	The courage, warmth and openness of everyone in the room were as much of a learning experience for me as the awesome input given by the facilitators, Chip and Felicia. I returned home with a greater, deeper awareness that "we are one", and a heart filled with gratitude, eager to share the experience with those who have yet to hear of it. Cecilia
You'll never know if you don't go	Registering for The Miracle of Love workshop was one of the most challenging experiences for me. Friday and some of Saturday were spent being apprehensive, but by Sunday afternoon I wanted more. Level 2 here I come. Shrek knew what he was singing: Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming Back to the rules and I hit the ground running Didn't make sense not to live for fun Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb So much to do so much to see So what's wrong with taking the back streets You'll never know if you don't go You'll never shine if you don't glow Hey now you're an All Star get your game on, go play Hey now you're a Rock Star get the show on, get paid (And all that glitters is gold) Only shooting stars break the mold Kunti Ranade
Trusting the Moment	I approached and experienced the HAI workshop from a consciously chosen perspective akin to being in the front seat of a potential roller coaster ride not holding on (trusting the moment) and was able to experience giving and receiving far more than my money's worth of sharing, giving and receiving clean good fun, laughter, courage, adaptability, adventure, love, acceptance, friendship, sensuality, intimacy, insights about myself and my sexuality and that of about others. I learnt very important lessons about daring to touch from healing intent, trespass, spontaneity and the need to verbally ask and obtain permission about touching others in particular time space settings even though such touching would be ok with me in such contexts.. assuming it was with good intent.... assumed until proven otherwise. Perhaps my biggest lesson was being and staying in gratitude and honouring the choices others made even tho they appeared to limit the potential benefits of various shared exercises. Ross
HAI has changed my life...	HAI has changed my life far beyond anything I could have imagined. As a result of these workshops I have come out of my shell and gone from a profound shyness to genuinely enjoying meeting people, and more importantly, I now enjoy meeting myself each day. Level 1 really was a miraculous experience , and after doing Level 3 I have learned to bring that miraculous loving energy out of the workshop and into the whole of my life. I have made many deep and amazing friendships with people I have met at the workshops.Chris Wilson
I learned to love myself for who I am	Recently I attended the Level one HAI workshop on the Central Coast of NSW. It certainly proved to be a life changing, mind expanding, paradigm shifting event. I learned so much about giving and receiving love, true intimacy; and most of all, I learned to love myself for who I am, complete, whole and totally lovable. I can't wait for Level 2.M.S.
