with Carol Cano

“Love is as close as we get to the Beloved without really trying. It manifests many of the qualities of the sacred. It is characterized by surrender, intoxication, devotion, selfless generosity, joy, uninhibited affection, deep connecting silences and the mercy that goes beyond simple understanding.”

“Embracing the Beloved: Relationship as a Path of Awakening” by Stephen and Ondrea Levine

This half-day retreat will shed light on the heart’s longing in intimate relationship while walking on the path of awakening. We explore relationship as a spiritual practice and what it means to cultivate the wisdom of the heart. We will investigate clearing our minds and opening our heart to embrace the healing that may want to take place as we unfold into our true nature. Together, let us discover the beauty of cultivating intimacy with others as well as ourselves.
