Love as Practice: Transforming Our Connections through Presence, Honesty, and Compassion (DH1H26)

Registration closes at 10:00am (Pacific Time) on Saturday, June 27, 2026. A waiting list will be created if the program fills early. A recording* will be available following the program.

Description:
All of our relationships—with partners, friends, family, and ourselves—are places where the Dharma comes alive. This mini retreat draws on themes from the new book This Messy, Gorgeous Love to explore how presence, honesty, and compassion can transform our most intimate connections. Whether you’re partnered or not, newly in love or long committed, navigating loss or cherishing solitude, this mini retreat is for you. Through meditation, Dharma talk, and periods of silence, we’ll explore how the very places where love gets complicated are often where our practice deepens most.

Online Only: We are offering this program online via Zoom.
