Love Is Our Natural Condition
Why Aren't We In It All The Time?
Love is our natural condition. Why aren’t we in love all the time? What keeps this precious state of being just out of reach? How can we know, reclaim and enjoy love in all our relationships?
We will explore the misunderstandings and fears we have about love, how we continually push love away.
REAL LOVE NEVER HURTS OR WOUNDS Contrary to popular opinion, real love never hurts or wounds. Only our confused expectations have the power to undermine our lives. These confused expectations directly lead to the loneliness, hurt and misunderstanding that are painful afflictions in our days.
EVERYONE YOU MEET BECOMES YOUR TEACHER IN WHAT IT MEANS TO LOVE. Many are waiting for the Perfect Person to love. But in this program Everyone you meet becomes your Teacher in what it means to love. As you practice the Simple Laws of Love, a life grounded in true connection arises, as loneliness and misunderstandings melt away.
