Loving and Being Loved: An Epiphany Writing Retreat

  • Online via Zoom Los Angeles (map)

Description:

Love is both the pathway to and the revelation of 

what is most real,” wrote Sam Keen.  


Do you see your life as a love-story in process? Is this the season to identify what gets in the way of living each day animated by your intuitive knowledge of Love as the way, the truth and the life? You probably have a good idea of your IQ, but how well do you know your LQ = Love Quotient?

Stillpoint dedicates January 22, 2022 to contemplative writing practices adapted from Sam Keen’s book To Love and Be Loved

The day will include composing your personal love profile and journaling your way into parts of your amorous autobiography.  

Collectively, we will explore epiphany as a state of being that extends beyond the liturgical season of Epiphany. In small dialogue groups, we will hear and be heard on the ways we currently practice loving and being loved. The retreat will conclude with a lullaby - “Love alone, its vigil keeping, all through the night.”
