A New Look at Love

Wed, February 17

With Valentine’s Day around the corner, corporations are gearing up to sell us diluted and dated notions of love. While divorce rates soar and traditional gender roles break down, new forms of love and new relationship paradigms are beginning to emerge. It’s time we consider the ever-growing varieties of the age-old subject of amour. Alongside traditional love relationships, do we also need to develop models for sacred and ceremonial sexuality that go beyond familiar ways of relating? And is it possible that we are entering a more heart-centered age, where love and forgiveness will radiate across our damaged earth?

For February’s Spore, get intimate with fellow Evolvers as we discuss the changing dynamics of union, love, and sex as a transformative process to heal the traumas of our world. Local Spores may explore the pleasures and complexities of monogamy versus polyamory, the innate intelligence of the heart, as well as the intentional side of sexuality through Tantra, holistic lovemaking, and healing touch. In this Spore, Evolvers will create a conscious space for vital issues around love and relationships, sex and spirit, to be courted, danced, and embraced.
