Sundays, Feb. 26, March 25, April 22, May 12, June 9 (Saturday), July 8, 2012.	Deepening Love: A Couples' Course We start a new six-month Couples' Sangha Series on Sunday, February 26, 2012. Love is the nectar we thirst for, the balm that heals, the magic that lights up life. Love can be our greatest challenge and is our greatest joy. A quiet moment of shared love can dissolve history, stop time, and open the gates of the Infinite. Each heart is like a treasure chest, within it a boundless source of love. Most couples have not yet learned how to fully tap into the riches of the heart. In this six-month series, couples will learn how to uncover, embody, and share conscious love. Using partner meditations, communication exercises, Qigong, movement, and creative expression, couples will explore the subtle energetics of love and discover luminous intimacy. Relationships thrive when couples commit one half day a month to deepening intimacy, awakening, and joy. Gathering with a small community of other couples on the path is also a rare and valuable support for developing a conscious relationship. We hope you can join us on the continued journey of deepening into love. Logistics Dates: Sundays, Feb. 26, March 25, April 22, May 12, June 9 (Saturday), July 8.
