2008 WORKSHOP SCHEDULE
With the many thousands of consultations that Dawn has done over the past 20 years, she has had an amazing look into the heart and soul of so many in the animal kingdom. From the physical level to the spiritual level, the animals have shared an abundance of information, thoughts, perceptions, and feelings with her. From their vantage point, the animals have shared 
with her the deepest of their passions, including the freeing of the human heart. Please read below for the details of workshops with Dawn. These workshops focus on the opening of the human heart, the true path to unconditional love, and profound connection with all of Life. The focus is on the spiritual aspects of animals and their communications and will not deal specifically with the "how to" approach to animal communication. Although the workshops will include communicating with the incredible animal residents of the farm, much more emphasis will be put on actually listening to their messages and incorporating them into our daily lives. These workshops are for those who are wanting to move deeper into the world of heart communication between all living things, and willing to reach even further within themselves to discover the depth of their own hearts. It will be assumed for these workshops that participants will have some prior knowledge or experience with interspecies communication either through workshops and/or reading books.
Come join Dawn and the animal teachers of Spring Farm CARES on this exciting new path into opening our heart connections to this incredibly beautiful world around us.

Awakening the Heart
During the more than 20 years that Dawn Hayman has been communicating with animals and helping others to learn how to hear their own animals, she has done over 15,000 consultations and had conversations with over 30,000 animals both alive and in spirit. Through the course of these conversations, these amazing beings, many master teachers in their own right, have shared with Dawn much knowledge and wisdom of the ages. They have asked her to join with them on their mission of opening the human heart.
In this workshop, prepare to journey inward to the depth of your own heart in which lies the connection to all of life around you. The animals themselves will lead you to the very place where you find them within yourself – deep within your heart. For many of us, the deepest love and connection we have felt in our lives has been with our animals. It is because they love us unconditionally. Come and experience the world that they see and feel and want us to experience with them. Learn the clear path of communication with your own animals by learning to listen with your heart. Discover and deepen the innate connection you have with all of nature and life around you. Be a part of the reawakening and healing of the planet by walking with an open heart.
The human race has been asleep for a very long time. It is time to wake up. The alarm has gone off. We can keep hitting the snooze button or we can get up and face the new day before us and be a part of it. The animals understand living from the heart and staying focused in the present moment. They are completely skilled in living with unconditional love and without judgment. We often feel most in touch with who we are when we are spending time with them. Who better to ask how best to get in touch with our own hearts, than those who we so freely let in there, and who know our hearts best.
As one amazing dog explained to Dawn: “When mankind shifted from a heart based understanding to one of mental knowledge and acuity, the focus shifted from love to fear. Love does not conquer the minds of men nor beasts. Love lives within the heart. But fear conquers all logic and blocks all access to the heart. As fear began to become deeply entrenched into the human psyche, love began to recede and be redefined. Love was no longer of the heart and evidenced by feelings, but instead became almost a legend of prose and lyric. The peace and stillness of the heart was then replaced by the business and control of the mind. The darkness of the mind befell mankind and entrenched itself in solid form. The very trees and rocks of the earth went deep within their own hearts and contained their knowledge in seeds within, knowing one day that the light would return for the seeds to sprout and grow once again. That time has come. Those with the knowledge are being asked to step up now to deliver their light and to realign the knowledge with the knowledge within the Earth herself.”
Come be a part of the reawakening of your heart, the heart of mankind, and the healing of the Earth. Through the thousands of stories from animals alive and in spirit, from humans alive and in spirit, and from the resident animal teachers on the farm, Dawn will lead a path of discovery to the very core of who we are and why we are here. This is not a “how to” workshop, but instead it is a journey to finding your own path to your own heart, with the wisdom, love, and patience from the animals and nature around you. It is a look at life through eyes of compassion, unconditional love, without judgment, and with humor and joy for it all.

Price: $325, lunches included
Dates: April 26-27, August 16-17, October 11-12.

LISTENING FROM THE HEART
Gulliver, a former llama resident of Spring Farm, told Dawn that he noticed that people had a hard time listening to each other as well as to the animals. He suggested that they are too busy in their heads and so cluttered with their thoughts that they aren’t listening with their hearts. And he then asked her to help him do something about that. “Humans,” he said, “need to spend more time being and less time doing.”
This workshop, facilitated by Dawn, but largely taught by the animals of Spring Farm CARES, focuses on listening with an open heart. Through a series of exercises with the animals, plants, and trees, you will learn to be more aware and a part of all of Life around you. This is an eye and heart opening workshop which includes meditations written by the animals themselves. Dawn will draw on her unique and profound relationship with the animals of the farm and from wildlife, and the plant and tree kingdoms, to lead you on this wonderful journey.
Come share in the abundance of wisdom, joy, love, and compassion that the animals and all of nature around will share with us. You will get your own communications from the animals, plants, rocks, and trees and then all will share what we learn with the group, thus helping one another on this wondrous journey of discovery.

GATHERING OF HEARTS
(This workshop is designed to be a reunion or refresher workshop for people who have taken workshops with Dawn or other Animal Communicators before. )
All of us carry a unique piece or wisdom of the truth of the universe. Each one of us sees and understands things in a slightly different perspective. When those viewpoints are shared and combined, the result can be absolute magic. Join Dawn and the animals, both domestic and wild, of the farm and nature sanctuary. This workshop is about sharing our own unique insights and gifts with one another. We will spend time with the animals of the farm and nature sanctuaries, in the serene surroundings of Spring Farm, listening for the messages that are there for each of us, and then returning to the group to share from the heart of what was shared with us. This will be an opportunity for participants to experience the magic and peace of the land and all her inhabitants. Come be inspired, recharged, and re-energized while we share the bounty of wisdom, hope, joy, and oneness.

HERE IS WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING AFTER TAKING DAWN'S AWAKENING THE HEART WORKSHOP:
"What a weekend! I love the direction you (and the animals of Spring Farm) are taking your workshops. I have taken workshops with you in the past and I must say this weekend the energy of Spring Farm was so much stronger that if it could be captured and put in batteries you would not have to worry about windmills. It would light up the whole neighborhood. By not having participants worry about who gave them messages or if they got it right, we were able to concentrate on the message and what it meant to us. I felt the messages received were very uplifting, even if they were only one word. I know for me, I felt so open using the “Heart to Heart connection” that the messages came much easier not only with the animals at Spring Farm but with my pets at home. Thank you again for the wonderful opportunity to connect with the spiritually connected animals, rocks and plants at Spring Farm. I look forward to attending upcoming workshops. "
*************
"Dawn Hayman never disappoints! With her new curriculum, she was able to get us to tap into our heart connections quickly and with confidence." "Dawn and her animal colleagues delivered such a clear message of hope for the healing of the Earth. Inspired by their vision, we in the class left ready to engage with them in the healing – encouraged that we were each important in the process and aware that there was indeed urgency for our involvement. This course will make a difference for our Earth."
**********
"I am sure you hear this all the time: your place is special, but I also found it a very easy and encouraging environment in which to learn. Many of the animals seemed intentionally to make contact, even simply eye contact, and I got several messages of encouragement even as I walked around (or so I felt). So, many thanks to them, and to you, and your many employees and volunteers who continue to make that happen. I am really glad you didn’t focus only on communication. That has its place, for sure, and at first that’s what I wanted to learn, but I now realize that for me - and all of us too - that is only part of the equation. Through our discussions I did learn better communication with Spirit on many levels, but I also realized that it’s not only about information, it’s about the messages --and it may even be about action. I came away with some resolve to do more than just enjoy this increased awareness personally. Not only will I continue practicing, but I am considering ways in which to bring this awareness to folks, and to keep remembering it for myself. "
**********
"Dawn’s quiet power is always surprising! She jumps in with a powerful message of hope. Inviting us to join her and the Animals in the important work ahead, Dawn teaches effective, straightforward approaches to allow us access to our Animal Teachers."
**********
"To refer to this as a workshop seems like a misnomer, in a sense. We tend to think of workshops as information dissemination and cognitive learning or training. This is different. Although Dawn’s breadth of experience makes this workshop a very expansive learning experience from all that she shares with us over a two-day period, it is more than that. More importantly, it is entering a spiritual reality with her – a reality filled with beauty, magic, and love. Opening the heart is indeed the task for all of us at this most critical and holy time in human history. We are at the threshold of a spiritual awakening that will catapult us into an experienced reality of our oneness. A door is opening to the destiny of the planet to become a place in the universe where we live in harmony with each other, and with all living things. Each of us is being called to this, I feel, and it is urgent that we wake up and participate in the awakening process. Dawn is responding to spiritual guidance that she received to help others go through this threshold with the love and assistance of animals. In this way, each of us can be better prepared to do our part in the healing and the sanctification of the planet. Dawn brings her whole self to this work - her heart, passion, and joy, as well as her personal experience with this amazing reality of pure love and consciousness that awaits us all as more light infuses us and the world we live in. I urge others to open to Dawn, and the beautiful souls within the animal kingdom, to receive help in awakening the heart. What is being offered here is a truly extraordinary way to prepare for the spiritual transition into light that is occurring now, and that I trust will become more visible very soon."
**********
"Awakening the Heart was all the pieces I have been missing. I am normally a bubbly person but now I feel I am glowing. The animals have taught me to live for the moment and I hope I am making them proud. The message from the animals opened my heart wider. I now understand my journey has already been marked and I just need to listen and follow the path."
**********
"Dawn is so refreshing. She is so comfortable with the truth…the truth that animals (and trees and rocks, for that matter) have wisdom they are anxious to share with us…as well as the truth that the Earth is on the verge of a great healing. With this new course, Dawn takes us with her into the depths of these truths and helps us shed our false humility and to venture with confidence into this new cycle with our fellow creatures. The unconditional love that came forth from this teaching is sure to spread far and wide.
