The Many Dimensions of Love
From the Personal to the Universal
Few words have as many different meanings, or encompass as many feelings, as the word "love."
In this workshop, we will consider several aspects and meanings, and how they overlap and inform each other. Then we will explore how the highest dimensions of love relate to the various spiritual traditions of the world, and how understanding and practice of the higher levels can lead to a more full and fulfilled life.

On Being Human: An Owner’s Manual
Below is the beginning of a book about what it means to be a human being — the many issues and questions we face in trying to live a complete and fulfilled life.
The questions to be considered are:
- What am I doing here, alive on this planet?
- How should I live?
- How do I make decisions?
- What is truly important?
- Where do I turn for guidance?
As you might guess, dealing with these questions means dealing with many different topics and many different areas of human experience — running counter to the modern tendency toward specialization and books with single themes. This book will not err in its specialization — but will undoubtedly err in attempting too much. Thus I beg your indulgence in the attempt to capture in this one place as many of the currents of a human life as possible.
If you have thoughts or questions, join me in a dialogue about what it means to be a human being. Contact me anytime.
