Are You Willing to Open to Self-Love?

A spiritual seeker asked Phoebe, “Can you teach me about love?”

Stunned by the beautifully vulnerable question, a deeper contemplation arose in her… “How many of us do not feel and know love?”

This workshop was created from that reflection. It’s a journey dedicated to Love—the Love of the Self. A Love that embraces the personality, the physical body, energy, emotions… All of you.

Love as your Essential Nature.
Love as the unending Beauty and Radiance of the Heart, of who you really are.

Love cannot be grasped, owned, or taught as something to add to your rational thought repertoire. Love’s everlasting freshness can be shown and felt by direct experience. Once you become aware of the protective armor over your heart and find the courage to remove it, you’ll discover true Love, a touch of Grace within.

Love is who you are—but you have likely forgotten. Disconnected and alienated from yourself and others, you resist and fight life. Judging almost everything, you instantly barricade yourself in a bunker of the safety of old patterns and tendencies, eradicating any chance for Love to grow.

This workshop is your invitation to rediscover the tender, sweet, and infinitely powerful Love within, giving it space to bloom and shine.

Are you willing to live in acceptance, intimacy, trust, and Love… within the physical body, mind, and emotions?

Are you willing to go beyond drama, self-sabotaging habits, patterns, and conditioning to open to the radiance of who you are?
Are you willing to forgive yourself and others… for everything?

Are you willing to find a lover you can blossom alongside, growing individually and together as you nurture each other and your relationship?

Are you willing to live with an Open Heart… No matter life’s circumstances?
Are you willing to trust life?

Join us and learn the essential language of the Heart, awakening to a whole universe of Love… Starting with you. “Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” –Rumi

It was only a matter of time before the Hridaya teachings beckoned Phoebe, a passionate lover of life, from Australia. She joined us in Mexico in 2014 and returned in 2015, when a 3-Day Hridaya Silent Meditation Retreat awakened a profound shift. After years of worldwide travel as an international flight attendant, she began an inward investigation. She gravitated to contemplation in the mountains of ...
