What is Heartwork?

“We all want to be happy, but we look outside ourselves for the key to happiness, when happiness is always available if we just “stop, look, and listen!” to what is always here. Heartwork gives individuals tools to work through any issue that may arise which separates one from one’s inherent wholeness and connection with others and the Universe/God. The Heartwork Institute is a spiritual center located in Rochester, NY. Dale Goldstein, MSW, Heartwork’s creator and Spiritual Teacher, has been actively exploring, since 1966, the uses of meditation, inquiry, and other spiritual tools to facilitate the deep healing of individuals, groups, and organizations.” 

– Heartwork’s founder, Dale Goldstein


Heartwork is a synthesis of Eastern meditative approaches to healing and Western psychology and philosophy, using awareness as the primary vehicle to see into the source of one’s problems. The basic assumption of Heartwork is that our fundamental state is wholeness. Dis-ease is a separation from this wholeness.
