Dissolving stories Retreat |
This is my first retreat in Sedona. Here in Sedona I just am! When I prepare a question or something to share, they just dissolve before I can get to the venue. I’ve lost interest in my stories. I enjoy every moment and will be back in Sedona soon!

Resting in Awareness Retreat |
What is here now? A warm sense of beingness (even though the wind is howling outside). The awareness that my suffering comes from repeating old stories in my head. The possibility that my body, mind and stories are not me; that me doesn’t exist. Only being exists

Therapy Retreat |
As a therapist, I am familiar with methods around the world. When you do therapy with someone, you try to fit their problems in a box and you are mostly looking for a reason. All methods I’ve worked with have done this. The Sedona Method clarifies that we don’t need to try to solve a problem. Going with the flow is what really matters

Releasing Anger Retreat |
I have been very angry at a person for the last two years. I came to Sedona to release on that in particular. A few days into the retreat, I couldn’t seem to remember which situations upset me so much. They now seem meaningless. I felt more and more powerful during the retreat

Comments on the Retreat Retreat |
Hi, Hale, these are more comments than questions and an answer to your request to see how we were doing. It was too long to fit in the Ask Hale Section. This is Susan Joyce (I think) from Fairfax, Virginia. I was at the 7 day retreat. The gains have been subtle. I am more aware of the programs that have been running my life for years. The exercises are bringing up many memories and showing me the beliefs, etc. that I have adopted. Now I can release them more effectively and have light bulbs of awareness going on all the time. I also have liked the statement of not accepting or taking ownership of thoughts. This has just resulted in my not reacting to my boyfriend's comments, by not taking ownership of them or creating more thoughts to respond to them.
I am also now releasing resistance and am seeing how resistance has affected my health and happiness. I have been both resisting getting better and resisting my body the way it is.
There are changes happening in my life now: my mother is ill, business is very slow, no new ideas have appeared in my consciousness yet. However, I am much better able to release the fear and wanting to change it or figure it out.
Thank you for the 7 days of peace and healing. Think about coming to the Washington, DC area to give a retreat/seminar. We would love to have you here. When I have other gains, I will let you know.

October 2006 Retreat Retreat |
I came to the Retreat wanting to release my attachment to Sedona Method instructing. I loved sharing the Method yet felt I had not been as successful as I "should be" - after 18 Retreats, 9 facilitator trainings and countless other courses in the last 6 years. It was a very powerful Retreat and towards the end I had a breakthrough insight: I realised how I had been blaming others (including Hale) for my perceived problems. When I let go of blaming others for my experiences - both "bad" and "good" - a tremendous shift happened. I found a wonderful acceptance and self-confidence and a renewed enthusiasm for sharing the Method with as many people as possible.

7 Day Retreat Retreat |
I can honestly say that after the first exercise during the 7 Day Retreat I could feel the difference in my body. The Sedona Method is a gentle approach that is easy to follow.I have attended two retreats and I have discovered new things on both ocassions.

7 Day Retreat Retreat |
I'm so thrilled with the results of a week with Hale at The Sedona Method Retreat. My neck, shoulders and lower back are more limber than they have been in a long time!
I'm sure my staff will really appreciate the sense of peace about me.
Love it!

Perfection Retreat |
After struggling thru the Retreat to comprehend the question,"Would you let go of wanting to change the issue/feeling?", I realized that when I do let go of wanting to change, what arises is the perfection of all that is.

7 Day Retreat Retreat |
The most amazing Retreat-helped me to clear out some deep and limiting relationship patterns that used to cause me much suffering. The Coach Training was the perfect follow up. I used to have freedom as my top priority- and it still is-but the amazing insight is that it is not important!

It's OK to be Me! Retreat |
For the first time in my life it is ok to be me. My problems, my challenges, my shortcomings – even my terrible hateful tendencies are not me. Their not personal and therefore can be let go. I’ve tasted freedom.
I had a conversation with my wife and one of her most annoying tendencies came-up and I found it cute and lovable and we both let it go. What a freakin miracle!

Financial Gain Retreat |
On my second day of training I received a phone call that nearly 50K was ready and awaiting my signature. The process had taken several years and I realize I had literally not given a hoot about the outcome from day one of the retreat.

This Is My Fourth Seven-Day Retreat Retreat |
Beth Delaney
WOW! This is my fourth Seven-Day Retreat and it just keeps getting better. Old problems have dropped away and I am happier and freer than ever before. My marriage is much more peaceful and deeper in intimacy. It is an amazing experience to share this with my husband. My work over the last three months with the Effortless Creation has been the best. It’s the clearest and fastest way to clean out blocks to allowing results.

I Find Myself Singing and Dancing Retreat |
I feel very peaceful and relaxed. The issues that I have been dwelling on just don’t seem to have the same charge or impact anymore. I find myself singing and dancing for no reason at all!
I’m not coming from as much fear. My body feels very relaxed and isn’t expecting the unexpected. I feel calm, neutral, and at peace, really nice!

Miracles at the Seven-Day Retreat Retreat |
I arrived at the retreat with issues dealing with new relationship, career, finances, and divorce. Today, the last day of the retreat, am already receiving miracles every day. Feeling so good, centered, and alive. Leaving attachment to all issues behind, but feeling empowered and knowing all is well.

Suppressing Emotions Retreat |
Although I feel my releasing was effective while at home practicing, I didn’t realize until the retreat, that while I was out in the world I was suppressing my emotions. The retreat gave me the ability to see this and release effectively throughout my whole day and I feel fantastic!

Inner Peacefulness at Seven-Day Retreat Retreat |
At the retreat my attention is shifted to the beingness and the silence that I am. As a result there is an inner peacefulness, quietness that remains during the hussle and bussle of life.

Releasing Better After Seven-Day Retreat Retreat |
I finally realized why I wasn’t releasing like I wanted, I was using my head and holding on to the wants that I thought I’d been releasing. The Seven-Day Retreat made me see the error of my ways and I spent the week in cold sweats as more and more stuff fell away. I wanted to go back to Hong Kong a different person, now I’m quite happy to go back being the person I am.

Success with Releasing Retreat |
After hearing from friends of their successes with releasing feelings that awaken them from their sleep, I too have begun to successfully release, while still in bed, on those occasions when sleep is disrupted by strong feelings. It is not a frequent practice for me but the gain of being able to return to sleep after releasing is a wonderful one!

I Can Do It on My Own Retreat |
When I came to take the Sedona Method Seven-Day Retreat, part of me believed I would never be able to apply it successfully b myself, without Hale’s expert guidance. As the week progressed I learned what it feels like to really release and go to the next deeper level and release there. I know I will be able to use this tool by myself or with another releasing partner and continue to make gains.

Wonderful Experience in Releasing Retreat |
I’ve been using the Sedona Method for six months and in that time I’ve noticed a significant reduction in my anxiety about life. The people around me have also noticed and my partner has asked to listen to the CDs.
This week has been a wonderful experience in releasing. I particularly value the holistic releasing as it has given me permission to release on both sides of any energy. I appreciate all of the new process that were introduced this week. I know I was able to let go of a lof of anger and need to control. As the week progress, I was even releasing in my sleep!
I am leaving with contact for several releasing partners to keep the energy going. Thank you! I’ll be back…

7 Day Retreat Retreat |
First I have to share: The 7 Day Retreat was the most powerful thing I've ever experienced. As a CD course graduate, I was already using the method. I sensed there was more to "understand" that I wasn't getting from the CD's. The retreat was life changing! If you want to soar to new levels of happiness and peace, GO TO A SEDONA RETREAT. Hale is masterful, an incredible facilator, and shares a pure heart. You'll gain what you can't get in a CD course...a life changing week of pure experience and connection. Hale won't waste your time theorizing. Instead he will help you to experience and experience and experience for yourself, who you are. He will send you home transformed.
Most profound gain? Discovering that "Feelings really Do lie". We think we can get what we want by holding on to feelings (hold on to fear to get security, Hold onto anger to get control,Hold on to guilt to get approval..etc) Once Hale helped us EXPERIENCE that Releasing is a path that creates space for a peaceful, abundant life, my understanding shifted. I was able to release ignored feelings that had kept me from having the peace I seek. Since the seminar, I find myself effortless, joyful and curious in daily life activity. This replaces a lifetime of self criticism, chronic body tension and perpetual mental struggle. Sedona Method is an idea whose time has come. Hale has spent 30 yrs. refining the method so the world can understand it easily and really use it. My blessings to everyone who attended the seminar ..the sharing was great. Special gratitude to Hale for my new life. Susan Leahy

7 Day Retreat Retreat |
On the 6th day of the Sedona Method 7 Day Retreat I felt terrible, a headache, neck and shoulder pain and felt exhausted. Within a half-hour of group releasing it was completely gone. The Method works!
