You Think You Know What Love is?

“When it’s real, you’ll just know.”
“Love is all you need”
“Your soulmate is out there”

Clichés like these are about love are everywhere in our culture.  This mythical, magical love of often seems out of reach whether you’re in a single or in a relationship.  This workshop will get to a real conversation about love. We will tackle some of the clichés and myths about love that can leave us feeling lost betrayed and unfulfilled including:

• Conflating love and connection
• The folly of separating love from justice
• Equating marriage/relationship with love.

Together, we will explore a definition of love that is consistent with healthy relationship, supported by science and can help you have abundant and lasting love.
