n a time of dating apps and growing social disconnection, what if we stepped back to explore love in its broadest meaning? What does it mean to live in a state of love?
In a time of dating apps and disconnection, when so many people say “I just can’t find love”, we may be asking the wrong question.
Instead of chasing love as something out there — a perfect match, a fleeting feeling, a person who will complete us — what if we turned our attention in other directions? First inwards, so we can feel, then outwards, so we can notice, and finally around us, as a container were we thrive.
What is love, really, for us as human beings?
Not just romantically. Not as a goal to achieve.
But as a state of being — something alive in the body, something that moves through us when we are calm, present, and open.
This workshop is not about strategies for dating or self-help affirmations.
It’s a space to pause, reflect, and ask:
- What does it mean to live in a state of love?
- What happens in the body when we feel it — even when there’s no one there to receive it?
- How is love different from calm? And how are they connected?
- Is it possible to carry a baseline of love — one that doesn’t depend on circumstances?
Through shared reflection and practical excercises we will explore what love means from biological, emotional, and cultural points of view. We will explore how the State of Love shows up in our body and nervous system. You will learn how to notice its signals more clearly, and how this embodied awareness can bring clarity to your life, and become something you carry within — not something you chase.
This is not an exclusively 'romantic' event, though we’ll talk about why romance so often fails to deliver what people are really seeking. It’s not a ceremony either, though it is ritualised. It’s a warm, embodied, intelligent exploration of love as a state of being.
You don’t need experience. You don’t need to come with a partner. You don’t need to believe in anything in particular.
Just bring your body, your breath, your questions.
You may leave with a clearer sense of what love is, and how it can stay with you — even in silence, even in solitude, even in uncertainty.
This is an online gathering with practices from A State of Love, for those who can't be around in person, to explore love beyond the dating culture through meditative practices, movement, reflection, connection and shared presence.
