Bruce Pardoe ~ Heart Fluency® – Establish A Non-Dual Contemplative Practice: Daylong Retreat
Embody and live your freedom. Learn to use Heart Fluency’s highly accessible non-dual method as the basis of a meditation practice to experience and consolidate your ordinary awakened nature as your default orientation to life. This seven-hour retreat includes sitting and walking meditation, as well as straightforward teachings that will enable you to feel through your direct embodied and mental experience to the liberated, healing nature of pure awareness. Discover how a contemplative practice can cultivate a lasting, free relationship to reality that opens you to “flow”, and what is called “suchness” in Zen practice. As we deepen through the day we feel how awareness can heal our deepest wounds. This is a transformative, yet simple and affirming day of wondrous presence.
There will be 1 hour lunch break around noon.
For more than 40 years Bruce Pardoe has been navigating and facilitating the path of inner healing and non-dual wisdom. Bruce’s journey healing his own complex trauma led him to develop the radically gentle Heart Fluency® method for engaging emotional wounds and afflictive patterns as portals to directly embodying non-dual well-being and happiness. Heart Fluency combines neuroscience and the unconditional nourishment of pure awareness in a highly accessible, heart-centered approach.
After spending over two years on silent retreat, Bruce became a meditation teacher in the Vipassana tradition of Buddhism. He has completed Spirit Rock Meditation Center’s two-year Dharma Leader training, and has studied extensively in Asia in the traditions of Tibetan Buddhism and Advaita. Bruce has also trained in Polyvagal Theory, Feldenkrais Awareness through Movement and Hakomi’s body-centered psychotherapy. Since 2007 Bruce has shared Heart Fluency trainings and workshops with conscious individuals, therapists and healers on four continents.
"Bruce Pardoe has developed a very effective therapeutic and awakening process called Heart Fluency based in Buddhist and non-dual wisdom as well as body-mind healing modalities. I have experienced his work, and I highly recommend him!"

This webinar will introduce you to Awakened Relating as presented in Lynn Marie’s book Awakened Relating: A Guide to Embodying Undivided Love in Intimate Relationships. It will apply to all relationships, not just intimate ones. We are always in relationship, which is where embodiment takes place. Therefore, relationship is our greatest opportunity for healing and awakening.
Awakened Relating offers the deepest, most lasting solution to relationship struggles. It addresses both awakening to the presence of pure love, and the healing of our relational wounding, which is the source of most relationship struggles. The deepest healing is found in any relationship that consciously includes our source nature, as well as psychological and somatic healing, which will be discussed in this webinar. Awakened Relating takes the exploration of spirituality and relationship to the next level and guides us into embodying our loving nature in real-life relationship challenges such as conflict, communication issues, negative self-beliefs and projections, intimacy issues, and being with relational wounding and trauma.
This introductory webinar is in preparation for the daylong workshop on Awakened Relating that Lynn Marie will be presenting on February 26th, 9:00 – 3:00.
