Learn moreLove is not just something we feel—it is a way of knowing, of being, a force that holds life together. At the center of our being, the heart is more than a physical organ; it is an organ of perception, connection, and deep intelligence.
For millennia, wisdom traditions have understood that the heart is where knowledge and love meet. Now, modern science affirms that the heart has its own neural network—a “little brain”—that shapes how we experience the world. But in a time of deep division and fragmentation, our understanding of love has been narrowed, privatized, and disconnected from its true power. Love is often reduced to romance or personal affection, yet at its core, love is a relational, ecological, and transformative force—a way of being that binds us not only to one another, but to all of life.
In this timely and vital webinar, philosopher and biologist Andreas Weber invites us to redefine love—not as a fleeting emotion, but as a radical, life-giving force that can help heal our disconnection. Drawing from his work with Advaya’s Ecology of Love, as well as drawing from his upcoming course about The Heart, Weber weaves together science, philosophy, and spiritual traditions to explore a new narrative on love.
