Virtual: LOVE is the Most Powerful Force in the Universe
Mindfulness teacher Sharon Salzberg joins with Atman Smith, Ali Smith, and Andres Gonzalez of the Holistic Life Foundation (HLF) to offer a program exploring the depths, capacity, and meaning of love. Love is the most powerful force in the universe. Love is cohesive and attracting, and is not bound by space or time. Learn to get in touch with and share the infinite love inside of you with meditation, yoga, and additional contemplative practices.
People spend their entire lives searching for love from others and themselves. The understanding of the power of love and where to find it eludes many of us. Many confuse attachment, infatuation and love. People also struggle with how to love in a way that uplifts others and themselves, without losing who they are. In relationships of all kinds, the way we love and the expectations we have around receiving love from others may leave us feeling let down, frustrated, unwanted, angry, and confused.
How do we find balance in love amidst all of our relationships? How do we love in a way where we feel that we are not being taken advantage of? How do we know when to be compassionate and when tough love is needed? How do we love from our higher selves? How do we unconditionally love ourselves?
We will explore a myriad of practical tools to promote greater love in your inner and outer life:
• Connect with the reservoir of love within you
• Learn greater self-love and self-acceptance
• Meditation techniques to better understand the love we share in relationships
• Learning to love with boundaries
• Cultivating greater love through loving kindness practice
• Yoga and breathwork to ground ourselves and reduce stress, to better receive love from others
Join us for this virtual retreat to develop the skills needed to cultivate love within ourselves, to better love ourselves, the people in our lives, and the world. No prior meditation experience is necessary to attend.
