Realizing a Life of Love: Mastering the Art of Loving

by Michael McGee, MD

In this course, you will learn about the wound that damages our reverence and thus poison our inspiration to love. This is called the "Love Wound." It is wounding our sense of our lovability, our connection to others, and something greater than ourselves. This wound is universal; all people experience this wound to some degree. The differences among us are only matters of degree. This course will teach you lifelong practices to heal this Love Wound to enable and inspire you to realize a life of love. Along with healing practices to cultivate reverence, joy, awe, and wonder, this course teaches 31 different love practices to help you master the art of loving. Love is an implicit skill we can all get better at through practice. With practice, effort, and support, over the next weeks and months, you will likely notice a profound transformation of your life to a life of love. And with this, you realize peace, joy, and fulfillment to you can live the best life possible.
