Living in Love – Online Retreat Homepage

Welcome to the flow of life and love

During this online retreat we will have two three hour sessions together live. The recordings from these sessions, not including sharing, will be posted on this page. In addition to the live sessions you will have access to recordings of Discourse in Love, Meditations on Love and guidance to walking meditation.
In this video (9 min) Jem introduces this retreat and page as well as the importance to contribute to conducive conditions for our practice.

Enjoying Living in Love

Creating conditions

Make a space in your home that is beautiful. Maybe you want to have a candle and a flower next to you when you listen and practice.
There are practices sitting, laying down and walking slowly, as well as a video with qigong movements.
Please have pen and paper available for reflection excercises.
When and how you want to practice is up to you, maybe a focused weekend, maybe spreadout as a theme of your practice over time.
