The Greatest Power: Love
A MEDITATION SERIES: RECOGNIZING THE HEART OF WHO WE ARE
Tuesday evenings, 7 - 8pm PT
October 28 - November 4, 2025
Online Via Zoom
We live in a time in which there is confusion about love—on one hand it’s a word that means to like something a lot. But it can be used for your parent, a lover, a new car, or even your favorite hobby.
This series explores love in the deepest sense. We all long to know Love with a capital L. We long to rest in it. We long to know in the depths of our being that we aren’t separate from it. We long to recognize ourselves as this Love itself. For what is more powerful than Love? Not the greeting card card definition of love. Not “You give me what I want so I give you what you want.” Not “You met my conditioned standards so you get my positive regard—until you don’t.”
In this series, we’ll explore the power of Love—of what’s beyond the limited, felt experience of “I.” We’ll explore the power that comes from choosing this Love even when the conditioned habit to reach for a form of othering, such as identifying with the inner critic, is strong.
This series is about returning to Love individually and collectively. It’s about aligning the actions of our lives with our deepest recognition that we aren’t separate from the very thing we long for.
Session 1:
Finding the Compassionate Mentor Within
We can’t know Love and be identified with the inner critic at the same time. In this session, we’ll focus on how the judge acts as a glue of sorts, keeping in place our habitual and conditioned beliefs. We’ll turn to a practice that cuts through our default settings and, through repetition, can rewire your conditioned habit of self-criticism and judgment.
Session 2:
Love as the Recognition that our Being is Shared
In French there is a popular phrase sometimes used to refer to orgasm: la petite mort, or “the little death.” What dies? This notion, this belief, that I am separate from you. The death of this idea, the falling away of this felt sense of isolation, reveals our shared being. Love is the recognition that our being is shared. In this session we’ll explore the ways in which we are more than what we’ve been conditioned to perceive and that what we are isn’t a solitary experience at all. We’ll unpack the ways in which “alone” is a figment of the imagination.
Session 3:
Resting as Love
We are deeply habituated to strive for love. To believe we must earn it or to treat it as a reward. This even affects how we approach our spiritual practices. This session focuses on resting in who you are rather than trying to become who you think you should be.
If you meditate to be a better person, you’ll always be busy trying to be a better person. If you meditate because you are in love with resting in your own luminous infinite being, you’ll always be in Love. In this session, we’ll focus on the power of resting in Love.
Session 4:
Acting on Behalf of Love
As the writer and activist bell hooks reminds us, “The practice of love is the most powerful antidote to the politics of domination.” This session explores how accessing Love personally can connect to what is possible for us collectively. You can only dominate something you see as other than you. In this session, we’ll take our experience of recognizing our shared being into the tangible realm of our everyday lives. We’ll explore what it means to Act from Being, recognizing that compassion is the inevitable consequence of the recognition of our shared being.

These teachings are deceptively simple and beautifully complex. I think that honors what it’s like to live in the world, and this is what teaching should help us do - help us to live in the world while carrying our deeper aspects with us.
