All HAI interns are volunteers who do what they do without pay.

HAI was until very recently a for-profit corporation--whose success at actually making a profit was fairly marginal at best. That HAI has lasted for 41 years in such circumstances speaks to the feeling of many HAI "graduates" that it is worth supporting. HAI has just achieved non-profit status, with all the rights and privileges that go with it.

I know of no such disclosure of HAI's finances.

Bert Clanton:

You once worked for free for a for-profit corporation.

It seems strange, to say the least, that anyone would work for a for-profit business for free.

Landmark Education, which is a for-profit privately owned company and LGAT, relies heavily on free labor. They have also been cited for labor violations.

And since you "know of no...disclosure of HAI's finances,' you really have no idea about their profits, other than what they told you.

Someone is making money off of HAI, but not you.

I find it interesting that certain people I met at HAI who had a long term, loving relationship continued through a few of the HAI workshops, experimented with swinging and with poly relationships, etc. both within HAI and outside of it. They bleated on and on about how their relationship was strong and they'd always be together.

Fast forward to now.

Not together at all. Not even living in the same state. Involved with others, haven't actually seen each other in months. Still married, but only on paper.

I can honestly say I'm not surprised. THIS is the sort of thing that HAI fosters in relationships. Once the lines of acceptable behavior get blurred, THIS is what happens.

hello my name is Sheryl I am writing from Sydney... yes I would like to talk honestly about my experiences... with HAI.....I am a 56 year old lady...conservative and with a loving heart...a good person...work in health care...palliative care...I met a man on RSVP in April 09 12.4.09 his name Allen J Stewart... he lived not far from me... we appeared to fall very quickly in love....he to me was a pillar of society...see his website he lived in Terrey Hills Sydney I live in Forestville... we began to spend all our time together......I thought this man really loved me....I had never ever heard of HAI he told me that it was one of his interests....and that he wished I would join too....because it would be so good for our relationship and would help us to communicate.....he was vague and did not answer specific questions... keeping in mind I deeply loved this man and would have trusted him with my life...please see his website..quantum healing.com.au you will see where I am coming from....he was loving helpful kind understanding supportive..intelligent..wordly and extremely physical sexually... I kept thinking this was because he loved me.. and to the whole world it would have seemed so.....the HAI thing and his involvement....he wanted me to go to an introductory free mini workshop and then to at least do level one... he pressured me saying he needed me to reduce the hours I was working and share his hobbies....as stated he said in RSVP profile..(true yes) I was really very unsure... I could not understand why it was so secretive..and no one was permitted to talk about these retreats and why is was all about sex.....and why it cost so much if it was indeed a non profit organisation ...and why people had to take off all there clothes...but his is optional... he said you are always 'at choice' I said I loved him and the only person I ever wanted to see me naked was him.. because I loved him...and this was the relationship I had been looking for my whole life.... I was divorced when my youngest was 1..and had been alone my whole life...so you can see Allen was the most wonderful thing which had happen to me......i worshipped the ground he walked on....I told him too...if I had personal sexual problems.. I would talk about that with him and sort it out and/or seek the help of a qualified professional. (Sorry my story is so long)

Anyway...much pressure was put on me... I was told I was the poorest communicator....I did not know how to speak to him..our sexual relationship was perfect according to him..he continued to go away to these weekend closed things...no phone.. no phone calls to me..while has away....going or my feelings around him going were not invited...he told me... HAI people were all beautiful people and....they were his FAMILY.

We moved to 59a Waipori Street St Ives Chase 2075 in July 2010 as a couple....he contined to act as a faciliator for HAI. What I did not realise.. that even those working as faciliators... are not paid and even have to pay to volunteer..some several hundred dollars for each weekend retreat...he was hostile always when I asked questions around this...

My big thing was always...why do people need to take off their clothes to communicate? I never got an answer...never.....because if I had known the truth... I would have died of shock and disgust....and by the for the supporters of HAI reading this, know we had the most perfect and happy sexual relationship....

The truth I found on this website...even if only half what is written is true... is is still so terribly terribly sick...and this organisation needs to exposed...people need to know what HAI is and make a completely informed decision before attending any of these workshops...everyone should read this website fully before handing over money....and their self respect......

When Allen went to weekend workshops he always took his viagra with him. his personal lubricant and condoms.... I am sorry to write like this on this website... I just want people to know what distress this has caused me.. the immense pain .....I was just staggered at that time....asked myself why was he taking those things with him....if I had not read this site... the pain the pain in my gut my instincts would have just remained that for ever...Allen was faciliator...in training, why would he take those things with him...if there was no sexual activity on those weekends away?

I could write much more... Stan Dale...the founder of this cult... based this organisations on his personal experiences and life in a Geisha House in Asia at the conclusion of the second world war...I was married to Japanese man and lived completely immersed in that culture for more than 6 years of my life.....Stan Dale.... had a very twisted perverted view of the meaning of the culture of the 'geisha'....he cleverly used this concept to finance his life....his life style... it is such and utter rubbish....people have been handing over money to this organisation to be cured of sexaul problems... and to help them on the road to recovery....from abuse and trauma in life..and in doing so are still paving the way to the bank for unknown and total not accountabilty of funds received from all these workshops and courses being held in many countries and places.....

Please comment.....

Yours very sincerely

Please read all you can...don't let anyone control you.....

keep welll away and tell all your friends and associates to do the same......it is the only responsible thing we can all do....

All volunteers and faciliators at workshops pay a part of the course fee.. to cover their expenses and donate their time for nothing... there are profits obviously and where do they go...no one knows.....

Many workshops are taking place in may several countries.. faciliators and volunteers pay to attend.. there is profit and it is going somewhere... people are being used... because they see they need friends and to be loved an accepted... yes HAI exists because someone somewhere is making money....

I am waiting and wanting to see if anyone can tell anything at all about what HAI does with its profits....all faciliators and volunteers pay to attend courses... have been told this by Allen Steward from St Ives Chase NSW long time participant in this Cult...they pay to attend and donate extensive blocks of there time.....and some claim HAI makes no money........?!!!
