ONLINE COURSE
“Global Revolution & the Healing of Love”

A profound journey into the inner, social and political dimensions of love and sexuality towards a regenerative and peaceful culture.

Overview

This on-demand online course allows you to explore the inner system change in community, love and sexuality, and offers an introduction to our vision of – a world in which love can naturally be free of fear. We will study why working on a holistic new model for love is not just a personal topic but a political one – how the ability to love is the fuel for a deep form of activism, and how love requires a whole new culture to blossom and endure.

Read the video transcript

Dara Silverman: While you might not live in community right now: The thing is we all come from a history of community. Something like 95% of our human life, we were embedded in the tribe.

Dara: We all also come from a history where the tribe was destroyed, and with it the way we love, and love itself was attacked. Fear came in to the way that we love and started to steer us from this big Universal Power of Love, also of sexuality, and put it into narrow vessels where possession and needing to control and own the other, became the understanding of what love is.

Dara: The Logical conclusion is that we need new social structures in order to come back to this original state of loving. The Journey of healing love shifts from the question of how can I get personal fulfillment, to the question of how can I support creating a social base where also my fulfillment will be taken care of.

Testimonials

I am deeply grateful for all the course teachers, for their presence, joyfulness, willingness to answer all our questions with their own experiences so honestly, for giving useful guidance on cooperating with the divine world, I am staying with the idea of being anchored, open hearted and connected.
       – Johanna Berger

The most challenging and important lesson for me is acknowledging the inner work and responsibility for what we attract in our lives by the awareness of our inner state and by trying to act on/from it, is the beginning of the transformation of the actual state of the human being, and that by the work of self-transformation we can contribute to share and co-create the new field of information that can be spread as a global healing energy.
       – Dina Oliveira

Understanding that my own pain and negativity is not a private, personal situation. It is part of the morphogenetic field of the violent patriarchy. That understanding is giving me the courage to better face my inner negativity. I understand that it’s part of a whole and if I work through my conditioning, I can contribute to positive change on the planet.
       – Francie Allen
