Event Summary

Are you willing to let go? Are you willing to surrender? Are you willing to be surprised? Are you able to trust?

And!

Are you willing to take charge? Are you willing to control? Are you willing to ask for what you want? Are you able to trust?

Be prepared for a weekend you cannot fully prepare for. Exploring surrender and control suggests being willing to step out of how you usually are, and try on something new. Whether you’re the consummate control freak (Type A anyone?), or habitually go with the flow, “whatever…”. Take this opportunity to dance your edges.

HAI is adding a mandatory $45 surcharge to in-person weekend workshops to cover COVID testing and other COVID related expenses until they are no longer necessary.

HAI Global is committed to the safety of its participants, volunteers and employees. You will be asked to provide a negative COVID test 2-4 days before the workshop in addition to testing onsite at registration.

Event Details

Sometimes we don’t want to look—we don’t want to see those fragments of ourselves that control and those parts that capitulate under pressure. Sometimes we don’t want to see how others see us. What if the tension between control and surrender began to feel like the authentic tango of life? What if we surrendered to our sometimes impulse to control, and controlled our sometimes ache to surrender?

What if we closed our eyes and let the inner knowing of our body lead? What if we really saw ourselves the way others see us? What if we could fall to our knees and kiss the feet of the beauty of being human?

“During Level 5: Exploring Surrender and Control I got to watch, moment by moment, my patterns of relating to people in a way that has never served me. Midway through, I experienced an explosive breakthrough and I know now, with certainty, that I have transformed those patterns. I am full of gratitude.”~R.S.

“I always thought that I was pretty good at seeing people’s hearts, not just their faces, but Level 5 took that to whole new level. This workshop profoundly changed the way I see the world.” ~C.A.
