This month, in celebration of our birthday we sent out a request for your learnings as part of this community of practice. We thank you for your generous feedback and birthday wishes!!
Here’s what people in this community are learning about love through being involved with WholeHeart. May these learnings spill sparkle into the season and ripple affirmation of being on this journey together into our new year.
Let’s keep learning with love!
“Love is power. ”
“Wholeheart helps me to stay flexible and soft, rather than fixed and hard.”
“The shape of love fits all sizes and all occasions.”
“I’ve learned that loving means listening - to self, to others, to the earth, to silence”
“I am learning that love isn’t defined by clear lines that fall into a shape with a recognizable name. And that learning all this in a loving community of shapeshifters has also taught me about gratitude and belonging.”
“
I am learning that the only constant is change. WholeHeart has encourage me to accept this, to remain open, to have the courage to maintain an open heart.
”
“Love continues to evolve and change shape... much like my connection with WholeHeart.”
“I have learned that extending and receiving love is my life’s goal.”
“WholeHeart has helped me to improve my listening skills, which also deepens my ability to understand and empathize with others. Perhaps that is the shape of love -the space we hold for each other in empathic understanding of the unfolding of self.”
“That it is a vast spiral, coming around and around, feeling, looking, tasting, smelling different and more beautiful at every turn!”
“Loving self is not about being selfish, it’s about tending to our own heart and body, that then allows us to love and be more present to others.”
“Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.”
“I’m learning that shapes are ever-evolving yet each one that works powerfully contains love at its center.”
“Love is every single day, all day long, not just when you say your blessings. Love is interconnected with everything.”
“To be more compassionate to everyone, to myself, and my friends.”
“Love is showing up and being present to myself and to others—even on Zoom.”
“Love comes in all kinds of beautiful shapes and sizes”
“Expansiveness, a changing shape of love, and perseverance.”
“The shape of love fills and floods beyond boundaries of self, bridging separateness and being the bridge.”
“My love muscles are best known in communion with others: human and non-human. ”
“Love is a web, a circle, a spiral - it shapes itself however it needs to, to keep us connected.”
“I’m learning that the shape of love is not static, it morphs and changes. WholeHeart helps me move with love, and to hold love without trying to contain or control it — even when that lack of control/the vastness of what is unknown feels scary. ”
“I’ve been processing the loss of my dad and he always show up in wholeheart sessions. It’s like when I settle into being, I feel his love in different ways. Sometimes it feels like an expansive cosmic love and sometimes I feel the micro, cellular love in my blood and bones.”
“That it is unexpected and comes on its own wings. ”
“It is stretchy, strong and yet fragile. ”
Love is in the making, the creating, the sharing moments and memories ~ through the years.
