The Mystery of Love

How Can Experience the Fullness of Love?

“I am certain of nothing but the holiness of the Heart’s affections,” wrote the poet John Keats. Yet, love is a complicated matter that comes in a variety of forms. The love of a spouse or romantic partner is different than the love of family. The affection we feel towards friends and colleagues is not the same as our love of children, beauty, truth, or the divine. While love may be the summum bonum of our existence — the highest good — how to love remains a mystery. Is love a spiritual practice, a worldly one, or both? How do we create healthy boundaries? Why is it important to first love ourselves? How is love linked to desire?

As Mark reminds us in this inspiring course, “love is not a problem to be solved, but a wilderness to be explored, a wonder to be experienced.” But how can we open our hearts without fear and bear the wounds of love with forgiveness, acceptance, and patience?

These nine insightful lessons include essential questions to be explored on the path of love. They help you maintain deeper, healthier connections, trust yourself in relationships, and increase emotional intelligence. We invite you on this nine-week journey of the heart to a more connected, fulfilling life.
