We live in an age of global crises where many of us are also socially alienated. Discourse has grown coarser, attention is fractured, and empathy can seem daunting. So why focus on love as a topic for exploration?
This is not an invitation to disconnect from our real world problems and retreat into bliss (also known as “spiritual bypassing”). On the contrary, we believe that, through building our capacity for love, we’ll be better suited to meet both the joys and the challenges of being alive right now.
Whatever is on the horizon, we can start in this moment. As Joseph Goldstein says, “If we want to be of benefit for ourselves and others, we need to start with our minds and hearts. When we train our minds to be our friends, our actions are led by clarity and care, rather than anger or delusion.”
