HOW TO
START A HEART T' HEART GROUP
Many people write and ask about starting a new Heart t' Heart
group. It is a very simple process. You will find some
suggestions in our pamphlet, How
to Start and Maintain a Heart t' Heart Group.
Here are the
main steps:
1. You will want to get one or more copies of our workbook, He Did Deliver Me From Bondage by
Colleen C. Harrison. This is our basic text, and the one we
think you will get the most help from. You can get it for $14.95 (including
shipping) from Windhaven Publishing Company, P.O. Box 282, Pleasant
Grove, UT 84062, or phone 801-785-8002 (Utah County) or
877-785-8002 (toll-free). You can also order the book online
from Rosehaven
Publishing and Distribution. Books are available at a
reduced rate if ordered in quantities of 10 or more.
2. If you are not sure if you want to start a meeting but
would like more information to help you decide, you can
send for a free "Meeting Inquiry Packet" that includes a
description of meetings, a sample Heartbeats (newsletter) issue, two
pamphlets, "How to Start and Maintain a Heart t' Heart
Group" and "Introduction to Heart t' Heart, Questions and
Answers." The packet also includes a Meeting Registration
Form and order forms for literature. If you decide to start a
meeting, be sure to send in the registration form so we can put your
meeting on our lists and otherwise support you and communicate with
your group.
3. If you are fairly sure you want to start a meeting, we
recommend you send instead for the "New Meeting Start-up
Information Packet." We ask a voluntary donation of $10
for this packet. If you cannot afford this, let us know and we
will send it for free. This packet includes everything in the
"New Meeting Inquiry Packet" plus meeting formats, a group
handbook, 3 sets of the basic 6 pamphlets plus "How to Start
and Maintain a Heart t' Heart Group." This packet also
includes the Group Registration Form. Again, if you do start a
Heart t' Heart group, please register so we can contact and support
you.
You can order either packet in any one of these ways:
| |
a. |
|
Order by phone from our distributor, Rosehaven
Publishing, at (888) 790-7040. |
| |
b. |
|
Visit our Online
Store and order by credit card. (If ordering the
free packet, the shopping cart will say the packet costs $1
and will ask your credit card, but that is because the
program won't accept a price less than $1. You won't
be charged for the free packet. |
| |
c. |
|
Print out a special order form available here. |
| |
d. |
|
Include the packet on our regular Literature
Order Form. |
4. Find a place to
meet. There are some suggestions in our pamphlet, How
to Start and Maintain a Heart t' Heart Group. You can view
and print out a copy by clicking on the pamphlet name. You
need to have Adobe Acrobat installed on your computer to view this
or other pamphlets from this website. If you need Adobe
Acrobat, you can download it free by clicking here.
5. Have at least one other
person to meet with. As you share your growth experiences and progress
with others, you will find some who are looking for what you are
finding through Heart t' Heart. This is one way your group grows.
The pamphlet has other suggestions.
6. Other support materials
are available that we think you will find helpful:
The monthly newsletter, Heartbeats. We hope that
each group will maintain at least one subscription per
group. This can be shared with other members (and even
photocopied). Of course, some members will want to have their
own subscription.
Other literature from our Official and Approved Literature Lists.
These include literature from other 12 Step organizations. See
our page on this at Suggested
Reading.
Windhaven
Publishing, which publishes He Did Deliver Me From Bondage
has a website at http://www.windhavenpublishing.com
where you can read more about HDDMFB and other LDS recovery
materials.
If you are having any kind of
difficulty, please contact us. We have probably already dealt
with it, and would be glad to offer some help. Write to us by
