All of the content is, in one way or another, designed to strengthen the universal human ability to experience empathy, the human ability to connect, understand, and love. We Become What We LoveHumans will and cannot help but love and worship something or someone, often in ways or relationships that lead to greater hurt, suffering, and disconnection. This disconnection takes place within themselves or with those around them. Learning to love the right things in the right ways, and let go of the things that keep us from doing so, leads to the thriving in life. This thriving takes the form of felt peace, hope, creativity, and above all, empathy and connection from the inside out.The Tools of Healing, Hope, and CreativityYet, even more than that, learning to love and be loved well on this planet is the true source of Christian hope and the source of connection to the world around us. Generous love is nurtured through personal exercises and rhythms that allow each person to take their next steps from exactly where they're at now. Above all, the programs accomplish this through a holistic (body, mind, and spirit based) commitment to self-knowing, self-love, and an attention to to daily living.
