Within each of us is the Source of an unconditional Loving. Are we open to receive such a gift? Is it possible to see ourselves or apparent ÒothersÓ from this loving dimension of the Heart? Longing for love, we often hide from it, imagining we are not worthy, or demanding that love must come in a particular size and shape. Many have experienced something ÒcalledÓ love that has felt controlling or like a conditional business arrangementÑ”IÕll love you if you become who I want you to be.”

While love may have many faces, in its deepest essence, it has no opposite and requires no protection, although it often evokes feelings of vulnerability in its human expressions.

This three-day online retreat with Dorothy Hunt will include guided meditations, silence, dharma talks, and dialogue, as we explore the experience of giving and receiving Love. We may even discover that our true Valentine lives within as both lover and beloved!

Dorothy HuntÊcurrently serves as Spiritual Director of Moon Mountain Sangha, teaching at the request and in the spiritual lineage of Adyashanti. The flavor of her teaching blends Advaita and Zen with a deep welcoming of the human expressions of the Mystery.
