MEETING HIGHLIGHTS
 
Heart IQ Mini-Retreat:
Relax, Release and Follow Your

HEART!


Don Drake

 
Don Drake


This month's gathering will be facilitated by Don Drake, the founder of Heart IQ, a Heart-based accelerated personal growth and learning system.  During this mini-retreat, Don will share and demonstrate some very simple techniques, tools and exercises for accessing deep, soulful relaxation and activate your Heart-based destiny.


Heart/Brain/Mind Coherence:

The Solution to the Spiritual Dilemma

Most of Us Are Facing


Have you spent a lot of time and money on spiritual and personal growth books, CDs, DVDs, workshops and trainings?   At some point after each endeavor, did you lose the high and feel compelled to find the next thing: a workshop, guru or certification program hoping that this would be the one that would produce lasting personal and professional satisfaction?

 

Why, after all the work we've done on ourselves, are we still seeking the next thing?  Are we addicted to personal growth?  Maybe we are.  Maybe we need a 12-step program for spiritual seekers!

 

Actually the solution is very simple - not easy, but simple.  When we are out of alignment with our Heartfelt wisdom and emotional intelligence, we naturally keep trying to find love, peace and happiness outside of ourselves, only to be disappointed again and again.  By learning how to re-align our Mind with our Heart, we can simply tap into the depth and fullness that we already possess.  This is the essence of the Heart IQ system.


TONIGHT'S MINI-RETREAT


* Learn the secret to achieving  lasting personal and professional satisfaction.

* Discover how it's possible to achieve the depth of a 10-day meditation retreat in only a few hours.

* Experience a deeper connection with your Self and others.

* Understand how to transform your Pain Body into your Bliss Body.

* Learn a powerful Heart coherence technique that replaces thousands of dollars of bio-feedback equipment and hundreds of hours of expensive trainings.

TESTIMONIALS

- "Don, Just thanking you for the workshop and the CD. My friend and I listened to it on the way back to San Rafael and we both noticed a deeper level of awareness of our surroundings during the experience of driving home (like the fog and Mt Tamalpais, etc.)

- "Very cool - while it was on, it was sort of reminiscent of the way I have felt after a 10-day silent meditation retreat. "  Sona H.

- "Heart IQ is fantastic!   In just a few sessions it has helped my anxiety to subside!"  Marvin H.

- "As I listen to the sound vibration meditation of Heart IQ, I feel my heart expand and soften.  After the ten minutes, I'm left feeling more at peace and more open to the world.  Don has put together a powerful, simple and profound technology. "  Nicola K.


ABOUT DON DRAKE

Don has been on a rich and varied spiritual path bridging both eastern and western traditions and practices for over 40 years.  He began on a path of western mysticism in his teens and then in his early 20's, received Shaktipat initiation from Swami Muktananda, the great mystic of Siddha Yoga fame.

 

After a few years immersed in the practice of Siddha yoga, Baba recognized Don's potential as a catalyst for spiritual awakening and gave him permission to teach meditation and transmit the Heart of Siddha Yoga.

 

In addition to his spiritual credentials, Don acquired a degree in Psychology and certifications in several body/mind disciplines.  He has many years of practical experience, counseling individuals, and facilitating groups.

 

After many years of riding the roller coaster of spiritual highs and lows, Don had a profoundly painful "dark night" period about 11 years ago.  He described it as a dark initiation, where there was no escape from his own shadow.  After a few months of learning how to directly face deep depression, anxiety and despair, an amazing shift occurred - a realization of fullness, freedom and Happiness existing simultaneously with the painful conditions of embodiment.

 

He says the most interesting part of this realization was the sudden disappearance of seeking the highs and avoiding the lows that was such a major drive for so many years.  Several awakened teachers have validated Don's realization but he insists that he is no one special, and that this awakening is happening all over the world to regular people just like him.

 

Don has discovered how to help others become free of self imposed limitations and has developed a very personalized system called Heart IQ.  "I'm an ordinary person surrendering to an extraordinary process" is the way Don describes himself, his awakening, and the gift that he brings to a rapidly evolving world hungry for liberation.
