We have domesticated our love, packaged it into convenient appearances which offend no-one, but which leave us yearning for greater depth. We may feel a schism between the depths of our hearts inner life, found in meditation or prayer, and the ways we relate to those we feel we love.

Love can be set free. It may take courage and the relinquishing of comfort, it may take an honesty deeper than our habits. Once love is liberated from the confines of apparent safety, we discover it has its own wild wisdom. It can be fierce or tender, it can be sexual and also vast and still, it can be known as joyous celebration and as the deepest pain washing us clean. Deeper love leaves the well trodden paths, it leads us to secret sacred places hidden in the wild lands.

Sexuality and Relationship can be the most accelerated dive back into our inner depths, bringing freedom beyond the familiar, opening a window to God far beyond our concepts. It can also become the greatest distraction, a painful prison of compromise and broken dreams.

We have discovered that sexuality and intimacy do not need to be haphazard. Through the willingness to risk new expressions, through a deeper recognition of the heart's true longing, and through the practice of specific disciplines, we have been surprised again and again by what is hidden and waiting behind the familiar. Deeper love has broken down the walls, now it calls to share these discoveries with our friends. Please join us for one of these evenings, and for the weekend intensive.

The weekend would be helpful to you if:

• You are currently single, and long to have your next relationship take you and your partner deeper than you have gone before. We will address specific ways to prepare yourself to find someone to go deeper with.
  
  
• You are in a couple, and long for greater depth in your sex, your honesty and your surrender to love itself.
  
  
• Single or in relationship, you long to transform relationship into a spiritual practice that can take you deeper into yourself, into love, and into knowing God in a real way.
  
  
• Seeing the futility of blame is not the solution to problems in relationship, it is simply the essential prerequisite, to begin the real work.
