 In March, twenty-four of us were blessed to be in MasterQuest with Dale Halaway. Truth was a major focus in this seminar. Not just speaking the truth, but hearing the truth and most importantly, facing the truth. This five-day intensive brought us closer to our real selves and helped us recognize that we are all “masters in training”. On the very first day something that stood out for me was that “the presence of our real self is the vibration of peace and that where there is gossip, conflict or confusion, we cannot feel that true presence”. What an immense truth! I think of the disapproval that I’ve held others in, and the arrogance I was feeling while I did it, and see that it could not, ever, have been my higher and true self. It put so much in to perspective for me.
The companionship and sense of family that was created over those 5 days was also profound. As always Dale was a patient and gentle teacher and provided the space and safety to not only know the rest of the group on a much deeper level, but to experience ourselves, positive and negative with compassion and acceptance. We were led to bring our negative energy up for the purpose of release, not blame or punishment. What a different experience than society has taught us up until now.
Through a series of exercises we were able to see our family’s dynamics, positive and negative, and recognize our own – The magic of “attraction” in action! How liberating to see the divinity of our choices of family members as a way to learn and release what was up for us in this lifetime.
For those of you familiar with Dale’s seminars, you know that on Sunday morning we get to hear something very spontaneous. This seminar was no different except that we got to hear more and on a deeper level. How wonderful to have a teacher who has literally walked the darker side of his soul, come out on the other side victorious, and then be called and willing to then share it with all of us. We were inspired, moved, and in awe. What a great example he gave us of unconditional acceptance and love. In MasterQuest as well as all of Dale’s other seminars, you are free to be exactly who you are. You are given the room and guidance to bring up and become aware of the negative energy you’ve been holding on to, be it sadness, hate, judgment, arrogance or any of the other fear based emotions, not to punish yourself, but to let them go and embrace the true master within.
Those who attended MasterQuest and are practicing what they learned, are leading very different lives now. Here are some examples of what’s possible with this work. See if there isn’t a story here that you might like to have as your own…

“Since MasterQuest I have started setting my alarm, waking up early and feeling awake in the morning for the first time in my life! I have been taking time to let go of the not feeling good enough feelings around keeping my house clean. I have been more motivated and been accomplishing more. I have been scheduling my work for the first time, and being more productive, and I received a raise of $3.00 an hour, from $12--$15 an hour. I was rewarded with this raise early too! I have been and continue to let go of trying to control my fiancé. I now have a trust for him that I didn’t think could happen so fast. I allow him to be exactly who he needs to be and am so grateful for everything about him. After MasterQuest my fiancé had me write down 10 things I wanted to do, just for me, I’ve been able to let go of the guilt of being good to myself and am enjoying all ten! I have done more for myself since MasterQuest than I have in the last 4 years. I feel so much less stressful and am happier now with my fiancé and 9 month old son. I am less likely to take things out on my family.
My favorite exercise in MasterQuest was the Family reflections release. It brought up a lot of guilt and control that I was able to let go of. Since then, I’m now able to stay more positive with my Mom. I allow her to be who she is and spend less time trying to change her. I have taken a step back from my little sister and am allowing my mom and sister to work things out on their own. I spend more of my energy with my little sister sharing my experiences with her and being an inspiring leader in her life. At MasterQuest I let go of a lot of my “not enough” energy, and as a direct result I am now driving my new minivan I thought I wouldn’t get! With Dale Halaway and MasterQuest, I learned that all I have to do is be willing to step in and let go and my entire life transforms for the better.

~One of my most amazing results since MasterQuest is the new relationship I have with my ex-husband in regard to co- parenting. Before I’d listen to him when we got together to discuss our daughter, then come home and do what I wanted. Now we work together, and he has shown up with so much more respect and eloquence. Yet, I’m the one who changed. I didn’t know my growth and healing could make such a difference in others.
~On Mother’s Day, my daughter told me she would make dinner for me and when it came time to start, she told me she was too tired and would take a nap. Instead of becoming a victim (yelling, stomping off, slamming doors, and crying) I stood my ground firmly. We ended up having a great time making dinner together. It was a lovely Mother’s Day!
~I am attracting new business clients with ease and am not as activated by authority figures at work. When I do get activated, I am able to relax into it and release rather than whine about it.
~I am now in the love relationship of my dreams with someone who respects, accepts, and adores me. With Dale’s work, I finally realize these victories are what I deserve more of.
 Anjela Ford remembers...
Some of the most noticeable successes as a result of MasterQuest have been my financial. When I was first diagnosed with Viral Encephalitis I was forced to give up a car that I had recently purchased. I was able to purchase the car with the help of a car loan that my Mother co-signed with me. But, somehow even though I no longer owned the car, the loan was never removed from my credit report. My Mom and I made attempts to have the supposed deficient loan removed from my credit history. But, the creditors continually refused. I had pretty much given up that the loan would follow me long into the future, until I was able to afford to hire a lawyer to fight my case. Within one month after I MasterQuest the creditors sent me a letter explaining that the loan had been permanently removed from my credit history without any effort at all on my part. Up until now my idea of financial abundance has been limited to the idea of "cash-at-hand". But, now with over $10,000 less debt on my credit history I see that financial abundance means so much more than just that simple definition, it can also mean being debt free. When filing taxes I have always used the "easy" forms online. Then this year something inside me told me to file the longer version. In past years I’d be lucky to receive anything more than a few hundred dollars back. This year listening to that inner guidance, I was able to receive a combined total of over $1500 back! This is yet another example of the positive results that
It’s exciting to reflect on this past year and notice just how much my life has changed. Before I was led by fear. Now I feel excited about what is coming next because I trust that it will be complete goodness and perfection. At first I was hesitant to share my seminar experiences with my family and friends because I was afraid of their questions and judgement. It’s fascinating to see that again I don’t have to try to do anything to indicate how powerful this work is. Instead they see the results themselves. One person in particular who has remarked on all of the positive changes in my life has been my Mom. And I’m excited to say that more often than not when I attend seminars, these days she’s sitting there right beside me! I love to notice how our relationship has changed. I allow her to experience her process exactly as she needs to. I give her space to do her own work in her own time. I have let go of trying to control her experience - I now choose to listen to her and from that arises a deeper understanding of who she is not only as my Mom, but as a woman, and one of my best friends. Now we look forward to spending time together, and when we do we have so much fun! I no longer want for her approval and in this release I am blessed with her approval more and more.
 Loretta Brown offered these insights when asked about MasterQuest...
“I am able to show up as an adult and take on the responsibility of that. This is very freeing for my whole family. My ex-husband who was also in MasterQuest and I are finding a friendship that was not possible before. We have been able to release much of our past grief and guilt. As we forgive ourselves and each other, and release the past, we are able to see each other in a different and healthier way, and truly create ourselves and our relationship in the present. Once again, this is an amazing opportunity for healing for everyone within the family unit. With the help Dale’s seminars, coaching, and MasterQuest I have paid off my debt, refinanced my condo at a lower fixed rate, cleaned up my credit score and raised my FICA, bought a new car, and currently have more money in the bank than I ever have. I find that every time I turn around money is coming in from somewhere. I have more private clients and constantly have referrals. I had put out an intention regarding my monthly check and my future potential as a result, the business I work for is closing its doors as of the end of May, and I have already been offered a new job with a substantial pay increase and the ability to literally blow the lid off my income level. I have released around finances, and discovered that I was resisting the inflow of abundance and money.
As I change my mind and my attitude, and clear out the negative emotions from my subconscious body, my Higher Self slips further and further down into my physical being, and I find myself more and more present. As I become more present, I become more joyful, more patient, more peaceful, and ultimately more helpful to my clients, my family, my friends, and myself. My mantra and chanting practice has been enhanced, and I see now how Dale's work and that work compliment each other. I expect to continue on with this work....to continue to peel the layers of my onion and to work towards self-realization and the fulfillment and manifestation of my dreams in this life. At some point in the near future, I will be a coach and teacher, helping to promote this work on a full time basis in conjunction with the music and healing work that I naturally do. I believe anyone can and should do this work, even if they are involved in some other kind of spiritual practice. It simply enhances and clears away what is blocking you from living your life to the fullest.”
 William Brown writes...
“Since the end of last year I have had a house for sale and have been surprised at the lack of interest from the market. All the while paying two mortgages have been eating me up. Even after dropping the price significantly nothing happened. I was discouraged with no interest and also felt my realtor was not working very hard for me. I took it off the market just before attending Master Quest. After Master Quest I knew I needed to sell the home via “sell by owner.” I got everything together and was ready to go a week later. Before I actually had the house listed, I got a call from a realtor I had almost listed with 5 months earlier. He wanted to show the place. The people loved the place and made a full offer. We closed in 30 days with no hiccups along the way. I had major releases happen at Master Quest and freed myself up energetically. Then the house sold quickly and with no problems.
In other areas of my life I find surprising things happening as well. Opportunities routinely pop up now and I find when I get clear on something I want to do, it happens quickly. I recently decided it was time to find a different job within my company. One week after I had gotten clear on what and where I wanted to go, three different people within my company emailed me about a job they saw posted that they thought I might be interested in. It was exactly what I was looking for; I inquired and had the job within a week.
It has been 2 months now since Master Quest and I am amazed at how that 5 day event accelerated my growth. The heightened awareness I experienced at Master Quest has stayed with me. I continue to see life differently and catch myself at my own games. I have far to go in my spiritual growth, but acknowledge that I have come a fair piece in the last year and a half. This is a good thing. I am so sold on the transformational work that Dale offers that I am entering training to coach in this curriculum and eventually teach this material. My life is consistently transforming in a positive way and I want to help share this material and technology with others that are seeking this path.”

“I was cruising along in life thinking and believing that all was well, or maybe just ok. After the first seminar with Dale I realized OK was just not good enough any more. Through his work I realized I could have a life that "rocks." I had been digging myself in deeper with a twenty five year relationship that was just not working, a business that I loved and had created that again was long overdue to fold....I was hanging on to both for dear life.
I took every Seminar that happened here in Portland, I took the Master Quest Seminar as soon as I qualified (having had taken at least two of Dale's other Seminars) and even flew to Las Vegas because Dale was having a seminar there and I knew I had to attend it.
I have been in a position to assist others with the kind of work I do...foot massage, reflexology, and a myriad of energy techniques for the past 3 decades...I had never run across something that I could be using toward my own spiritual growth until I found Dale's work. What an AHA! This is truly what I had been searching for in all my other endeavors. Now I can truly be there for my clients in a state of integrity and joy.
I now have a new, beautiful relationship. I am exploring what I am going to do next in my career with anticipation and delight, and am completely open to what will happen next. I look forward to the next seminar especially that My New Love will be there, also. Wow! Now that's a new one for me....having that much support from the partner I always new I deserved. When I hear of the next seminar that involves Dale Halaway and his work, I'M IN!”

“Good things have happened to me since MasterQuest! My pregnant Daughter asked me to attend her ultrasound checkup with her. What an honor! My Son introduced his girlfriend to my Wife and me. I have lost 25 pounds. I received a compliment last week from a co-worker who is very conservative and negative. He said he had noticed a difference in me after attending MasterQuest – I was much calmer and it easier to work and communicate with me. None of these things could have happened before when I was hanging on to my anger and my wanting to feel safe.
I look at these successes and recognize that I am becoming a better person by mastering my mind, body and emotions by releasing negative energies. That’s what MasterQuest is all about – healing myself with the help of others. MasterQuest is five life-changing days learning how to release my mind, body and emotional issues quickly, smoothly and efficiently. Thank you Dale!”

“My MasterQuest Lesson: Speak your truth and the truth will set you free. Are you willing to hear/face/speak the truth?
I received a clear message on Mother’s Day (my first grandchild was 12 days old) – it’s time to talk. Participated in an event and wrote an editorial of positive support in our community newspaper. The event was Mother’s and Grandmothers standing up for peace and the earth, someone had made snide remarks about the event and it clearly hurt the organizers. I decided it was time to go on record speaking my truth that I am tired of negative comments towards those trying to make a positive difference.
Prior to the seminars – I was, well…ah quite honestly, pretty much ticked off with my husband’s snoring. Many sleepless nights on the couch, in the spare bedroom, wearing earplugs etc., after several nights of this I would want to snuff him out with a pillow!! Funny how this has all changed – since releasing a lot of my negative disapproval energy and replacing it with approval – he can snore all he wants I don’t even hear him. I still think about how I blamed him – what changed? (or should I say who changed) -- He is still snoring.”
 Life since MasterQuest for Sienna Marie Wise is very different…
“This journey continues to be filled with opportunity after opportunity to achieve new levels of inner peace, confidence, acceptance, joy and prosperity in my life. Prior to MasterQuest, I was in great resistance to embracing and actualizing my life’s purpose. Life was hard and I was judging myself for being afraid to more forward. I was in the process of sabotaging the progress that I had worked so hard to achieve. Dissatisfaction with me was becoming a state of being. I was so stuck in lack consciousness that I could barely pay my bills!
Since MasterQuest, I am once again moving forward in my life – more rapidly than I ever have before. I am embracing my purpose with joy and confidence. I am relaxed and peaceful about the future. In fact, I am centered and allowing my needs to be provided for. I am confident that I deserve to have abundance, happiness, satisfaction, acceptance and fulfillment in my life. The evidence that this is true is the increased money flow that I’m experiencing, the ease with which I go about my day following the inner guidance I receive, the confidence that I feel about the future – even though it is still uncertain!
I am thankful that I have been given the gift of Dale in my life with all of his wisdom, insight, gentleness, generosity of spirit and grounding. Sometimes I wonder what life would be like if I hadn’t had the support of Dale and these wonderful seminars – not just for myself but for the people that I have been privileged to touch.”

“The five days of Masterquest have been quite a ride. I am now in a place where I really GET that this is my last chance, my last hope to have any kind of peace and happiness in my life. I’ve tried everything else but the results prove that none of my efforts worked. One of my favorite of Dale’s phrases is “Your best thinking can’t get you out of this predicament. If it could, you wouldn’t need to be here!” In the past, the effort of holding on has used all my life’s force and used it in a way that has kept me stuck. I gave myself away to all that negativity. I have now learned through this work that the key is to trust and let go. Certainly Dale is not the first to offer this advice but he is the first to actually teach me how to do it. I am persistent and have set my intention to keep at this work. Another of Dale’s piercing questions is, “Are you willing to do this work for as long as it takes?” I am not a quitter and neither is Dale!
Sometimes I think Dale has been in my corner long before I got there. Over the years I’ve often been told how much courage I have but now I’ve been led to develop a new and perhaps more genuine courage that allows me to do the work necessary to heal. The good news is I am not alone!”

“Dales seminars have given me hope of a very bright path. I have learned so much about who I really am, and what my purposes in life are. Masterquest was probably one of the greatest things I've ever encountered in my life. To share 5 days in deep self discovery was so powerful for me. I was able to release on some of the most painful feelings I've had in suppression for most of my life. I even picked up a new healthy habit of eating breakfast! Since then, my relationship with my children has improved greatly. I now speak to them lovingly but firmly, and I'm learning to give them more of what they need instead what they want. I've let go of wanting for control, and am now parenting with inspiring love, and less judgment. My children are now communicating more with me, and are less rebellious. We're sharing our feelings more and growing together.
Now I recognize my blessings easily. I breathe deeper and slower. I'm eternally grateful for the beautiful things that Dale and his coaches are doing to help make the planet a more positive place to live. I too shall do my part to love, give, and inspire each and every human being I come in contact with. My favorite quote that Dale always says is " It's gonna be okay". It's so comforting and so true. With Gods power within me I will prevail.”
 Leslie Fisher shares...
“In MasterQuest I realized that I was trying to control my new love relationship. I was out in the future and that was putting a strain on both of us. Now I’m staying in the present and allowing the future to show itself without trying to control the outcome.
An amazing event happened after the seminar. I was able to work with people who were being rescued from a cruise ship that had run aground. I helped them ground and relax through the use of energy work. I wasn’t worried about what other people thought of me, and I didn’t need to control their experience. What a difference! I am much more confident in presenting myself to others with love and respect and allow all to be exactly who they are and feel safe enough in my own skin to not have to change them.”
 Kristy Jarrett shares...
“Since MasterQuest I have been getting in touch with my truth. I thought I had it all along but as Dale says, 'results don’t lie'. I was holding on to some old patterns around food and alcohol for fear of what would be on the other side of them. What is turning out to be there is me. I am parenting myself with a little more love and a lot less judgment. This is showing up in my recommitting to my weight loss goals with measurable, weekly results! Not just talking the talk, but now walking the walk. It is so much more fulfilling and real than pretending that everything is going ok when in truth I was stuck in my own fear and resistance to what is. MasterQuest gave me the gentle and loving nudge I needed to see my way clear to me. Letting go of my illusions is also showing up in my ability to parent my youngest son. With his help, I am now willing and able to see how I’ve been with my own Mom. While painful, recognizing this blind spot now gives me the ability to let it go and be the daughter and mother that I always pretended to be.”
I am now allowing myself to step into a primary relationship and be vulnerable. After 19 years of just an occasional date, my fear is up, but I’m no longer willing to give it any more power than I already have. Believing that I had to protect myself with pride and fear is no longer working for me, not that it ever had.
My coaching sessions with Dale have become even more powerful now that I’m stepping up to the plate and taking responsibility for myself and my choices. I’m moving again in the direction that I want to go. It feels scary and exciting and worth it! It’s not just about what you do when the road is smooth and easy, but how you show up when you hit the rough patches of your own creation that shows you who you really are.”
