Voluntary collaboration

The Work of Charity

Bruno Gröning wanted to bring people together in harmony. Repeatedly he reminded them of the command of charity. "You should know that you belong together. You should love your neighbour as you love yourself. It is my wish, and my will for this to happen, for people to connect again so they can all receive the chance for help."

Most people come to the community driven by the wish to get their health back. But with the Heilstrom not only health will be attained, but there will also come a more intense feeling for life. The heart opens up, security, peace, and joy flow through and an unexpected love for life fills the soul. Because of these feelings, many of the healed people have the urge to pass on their newly found happiness. They want to help with the work of Bruno Gröning, so other people will get the chance for healing and inner change.

The work of Bruno Gröning is an act of charity. Just as he never wanted money for healing, also today no payment is made for work in the Circle of Friends. Every activity in the Circle of Friends is voluntary. Only out of pocket expenses like hall hire, production and dispatch of schooling material are reimbursed.

Bruno Gröning always pointed out that God is love and it wants to work through the human being. But you can’t pay for true love nor have it paid; it’s a heavenly gift. If it prevails in human relationships, freedom on earth will be achieved.

Hiking weeks

Back to nature

It started in the middle eighties when some of the younger Bruno Gröning friends expressed the wish to spend some time together in the summer vacation in the mountains. Since Grete Häusler was originally from Austria and herself an enthusiastic mountaineer, it did not take much to convince her, the leader of the Bruno Gröning Circle of Friends at the time. So in the year 1987 some 30 or 40 Bruno Gröning friends met for the first hiking week in Maria Alm in the Salzburg region on the banks of the Steinernen lake. Overnight stays were in youth hostels and there were daily hikes in the mountains with coming together in the evenings for a community hour.

The feedback was fantastic and so the hiking week quickly became a firm part of the annual calendar of the Circle of Friends. Since 1988 it takes place in Filzmoos at the foot of the Bischofsmütze in the Austrian Dachstein area. However today it is not anymore the only hiking week; these days more than 3000 friends meet annually at various hiking and mountaineering weeks in Filzmoos.

Also in other regions similar events take place, With the worldwide spreading of the teaching of Bruno Gröning the desire arose in many countries to also conduct such hiking weeks in the home country. Thus every year the number countries increase in which hiking weeks or weekends take place, for example in Switzerland, Italy, France and also in India, Australia and the USA.

These activities are coupled to a conscious approach towards nature in the sense of Bruno Gröning's words "Back to nature" and "Nature is God". To absorb nature in peace and quiet presents a wonderful contrast to the current event tourism and brings the people again closer to God and to the origin of life. In this inner life in nature already many friends have even experienced healings.

Worldwide conferences

Bathe in the heilstrom

Apart from the community hours started by Bruno Gröning, his friends worldwide also meet at conferences. Here many dozens up to more than 1000 friends come together in different regions and set themselves up mutually to receive the Heilstrom, as Bruno Gröning called the divine power.

Because the power flow is stronger and the absorption so much easier the more people are present, the many friends make use of this opportunity to get to know one another, compare notes and listen to experience and success reports and let the divine power stream into them.

At many of these conferences friends from different countries with different ethnic, cultural or religious roots meet each other. Thus for example Jews, Moslems and Christians sit peacefully next to one another and concern themselves with the teaching of Bruno Gröning. Or Croatians, Bosnians and Serbians meet each other at a conference and mutually take up the heilstrom and cultivate friendship with each other.

Community Hours

Power source for the daily routine

In the community hours the teaching of Bruno Gröning are substantially imparted. The people seeking help and friends thus have the possibility to practise using these new ideas and fixing the belief in themselves. This way the people not only can obtain health but also keep it.

Learn to know the spiritual relationships to not fall back into old afflictions

The past has proven the importance of the knowledge of Bruno Gröning's teaching: Many help seekers recovered after only meeting Bruno Gröning once – like in Herford or at the Traberhof – without knowing the spiritual background of a healing. They didn’t know how to take up the Heilstrom nor did they know about the pain of the so-called Regelungen. The power of thought, the right sitting position, the knowledge about good and evil: all this wasn’t known to them. When Regelungen occurred or doubts as to the lasting of the healing, they were left alone; sometimes even too weak to believe in health. Quite a few people fell back into their old sufferings. That’s why it was often said that the healings wouldn’t last. But everyone that knew the teaching of Bruno Gröning and understood the spiritual laws, recognized that it was only the natural consequence of lack of belief or knowledge about the context of spiritual relationships. For instance, if a person knows nothing about the power of thought and keeps his mind circling around illness, he can lose his health again because he attracts the negative, the disease, by his way of thinking.

So it’s important for the person seeking help to become familiar with the teaching of Bruno Gröning in the community hours. It’s also very important for him increasingly to take up the Heilstrom – which succeeds particularly because of the multiplicative effect of the community. Bruno Gröning compared a human being with a battery. By thinking, speaking and acting, we continuously give away energy. And in order to stay energetic we have to recharge our battery. This can be done by daily doing einstellen and by regularly attending the community hours. In a letter to a help-seeker Bruno Gröning wrote the following: "As long as you live, compare yourself with a battery ensuring that your body is freshly charged so that you will always be able to have this energy available not only for yourself to live and exist, but even – like a battery – be able to give energy to our fellow-man, when they show a lack of energy."

Let go of all negativity

In the community hours many people come together with believing thoughts and open hearts. Here they have the opportunity to let go spiritually of all negativity, to empty their soul. They can take up enough good energy to stay powerful in the daily tests to overcome evil. Here the heilstrom can be received intensively. The more people do einstellen, the stronger the power will be.

What is concerned in the community hours Bruno Gröning himself explained as follows: "It is not concerned with only attending the community hour but really to stay on the right path and not stray from it because everything is for your own good."
