I just heard of Stan's passing, and had to take a moment to express my love & gratitude for a man whose love and devotion changed my life, and was a catalyst for all that I am doing today. In my HAI Workshops with Stan, I began to find acceptance for myself as a naturally sexual being, as well as so much love to be shared with others. I met and opened myself up to a woman who would later become my partner and the mother of the most incredible young woman I have ever met.

I read Stan's article in the HHS Quarterly back in spring of 1994, and immediately signed up for Level I. Chip and Ann...ahhh, I was certain this was the best Level I ever!! After being on the Enlightenment Path for well over a decade, this Was It!! I finally met Stan a few months later at Level III--yes, his eyes were filled with acceptance and knowledge, and caring--lovelovelove. I took the plunge, signed up for Level IV and changed my life: I moved to Harbin, where I was for 3 years, either workshopping or cooking for all you angels. Stan, Helen and Janet are 3 of the most love-filled people I've met, and that stays with me today. Arms around you... Hand on Heart! xoxoxoxox,

 

With all my heart, I shall never forget you, Stan Dale. You made everyone feel special and loved. I'll miss your big hugs and wonderful voice. I'll miss your kind advice, charisma, strength and charm. My birthday will never be the same without your greetings. I love you, and wish you PEACE. My love to you, Janet, and I hope you find comfort in having met and known intimately this miraculous man.

I would like to express my deepest sympathies to Janet and all Stan's close friends and family - and also to say how much I owe to him for what he created in HAI. HAI changed my life and my attitude to life and has allowed me to move into a satisfying and joyful relatonship. The world will miss you Stan; but you left it a better place for your time here.

My best wishes and thanks to all who keep the process going.

Stan was the man. He spoke of things that I suspected were true but could never confirm outside "The Room Of Love". I'm glad I had the good fortune to meet this Modern Bodhisattva and to benefit from the wisdom of this Saint.

I would like to send my condolences to Janet, his family, his colleagues, and friends and the huge HAI family. Stan's contribution of love to hearts and souls will always be remembered and he will always be in our hearts. With deep gratitude I say thank you.

Stan you touched my heart and soul you are an angel and such a beautiful man.

 

Of course Stan Dale contributed to my life. He contributed to every life he touched. I’ve considered him a friend and mentor for many years. He’s lead many workshops I’ve attended as a participant, assistant and and intern. As the man who created the work of HAI he has had a greater impact on my life than almost any other human being. I’ve picked him up at the airport, driven him to workshops, given him a bed in my home and run into him by accident halfway around the world. He has been an unfailingly kind, gentle, open hearted man. I’ve loved him and admired him and will be forever grateful to have had him in my life.

I celebrate the life of Stan Dale and am deeply sad to hear of his death. My love goes out to all his family, the HAI community and those many, many more in the world (including many who may never have heard his name) whose lives were enormously enriched by the contribution he made to the planet. It must have been 1994 when I met Stan – I think it was at my first level 1 HAI workshop. He showed me I was absolutely special and perfect just as I was and at the same time opened up for me an ocean of possibilities for making my life work better, for loving myself and others more deeply and creating a world where every one wins. Not only did he...
