Heart of the Initiate is an intensive workshop experience. Workshops are hosted in locations around the world that offer comfort, absolute serenity and extraordinary beauty. We will provide a very intimate and private setting that will give you the opportunity you need. All workshops include accommodations and meals.

A few years ago Ralph Miller introduced a unique and groundbreaking process he calls the Heart of the Initiate. During the past five years we have had participants from 51 different countries on 6 continents join us in England, Ireland, Holland, Barbados, United States, Canada, Colombia and Brazil in order to attend a Heart of the Initiate workshop.

All heightened perception relies on a special softness and sensitivity of the heart. Yet opening the heart chakra can be a daunting process, for one has to learn to let go.

One has to push against the calcified stiffness that gathers around the heart, and one's inner most feelings; a stiffness that comes from a lifetime of self-judgment and lack of unconditional love.

We are seeing the whole world change before our eyes. There is a transition occurring. With these changes there is a shift of consciousness, where we are becoming more acutely aware of the separation between those who embrace the heart and path of love and those who cling to the old ways of the mind and ego.

As you work on yourself, you will realize the true nature of your individual journey and who you really are. Often we try to fix mind and ego related problems with mind and ego created solutions causing further pain in our lives. You will discover that the solution lies in the opening of your heart. You will give yourself the great gift of a life without the lies of the world and the ego; lies that cover the truth of your own divine nature.

"A person of truth is a living divinity. He is not only above his mind, but he can be above the laws of physical nature. He actually becomes one with all. When he moves, the universe moves. When he sleeps, the universe sleeps. This is not merely a philosophical notion; it is living truth."

- Lao Tzu, Hua Hu Ching

If you have never experienced a setting of non-judgment and freedom, you will be in for a great surprise. The freedom to enjoy your life without the threat of criticism or need for approval. You will be able to fully express yourself without fear. Just be yourself; not making any excuses or apologies. If you haven't played in a long time, you will rediscover the joy being a child and experience simply being present and having fun with your friends.

On a metaphysical level, the workshop will be filled with activities, some structured, some unstructured, to rediscover your true self and to develop your sense of your own inner voice. As you strengthen this sixth sense, it will quickly bring you to lightning quick perception, as well as guide you. The mind will never understand but the heart knows. You will learn that in the heartland, there are no boundaries or rules.

"We are indeed on a shaman's journey, mere children struggling to become technicians of the sacred. We are learning how to deal with the plasticity that is part and parcel of a universe in which mind and reality are a continuum, and in this journey one lesson stands out above all others. As long as the formlessness and breathtaking freedom of the beyond remain frightening to us, we will continue to dream a hologram for ourselves that is comfortably solid and well defined."
