The Seminar

Healing Love is the third seminar in the The Art of Re:Connective Loving seminar series. After having explored what it takes to truly embody love and to liberate it from (toxic) cultural and social norms and expectations, we will dive even deeper by focussing on what it takes to heal love – within ourselves, our families, communities, society and globally.

As the world around us moves ever deeper into existential crisis, psychological disorder, disconnection and alienation, creating ever more health issues and diseases that find expression in stress, depression, anxiety disorders, psychoses, addiction, suicide, narcissism etc., we need to establish profoundly different ways of being, becoming, living and loving. Such a transition to a new reconnective and regenerative culture cannot happen without a profound healing of love.

In this seminar we will expand on the foundations we have built during the first two seminars in understanding, embodying, navigating and experiencing love beyond (toxic) norms and limitations. We will deepen our awareness to the obstacles of love we have built within and outside of us and expand our set of tools, methods and techniques for how to ethically navigate love and conscious relationships as well as how we can guide ourselves and others to the healing of love through reconnective arts, practices and spaces.

Together we will co-envision the foundations, qualities, shapes and practices of a new reconnective culture of love and immerse ourselves into healing spaces and practices that open ourselves even more to the potential of love for transformation towards a “more beautiful world our hearts know is possible” (Charles Eisenstein).

It’s important that you come with an open mind and a readiness to challenge yourself – within a space that is created to carry and nurture you throughout this process. A challenge holds great potential for growth, expansion, understanding, awakening, realization – if experienced and integrated consciously and held in a caring and compassionate space.
