Making Your Love Universal
Half day course, Saturday February 11, 2023
11:00AM - 1:30PM
We are approaching Valentine's Day when everyone is focused on romantic love. Some of us will have a partner we are happy with; some of us will not. We need to broaden our scope of love to include more people - make it more universal. There is plenty of love to go around, we just need to open to it. We need never be lonely as we open our heart to greater love.
