Publisher's Synopsis
A renowned visionary presents a training course in love-centered practices for transforming ourselves and our world.
How do we show up with love in a time of turmoil? What can love do in the face of fear and oppression? How do we find longevity and joy and beloved community? In The Revolutionary Love Training Course, renowned activist and visionary Valarie Kaur shows us how to harness the force of love in our relationships with others, opponents, and ourselves. It begins with wonder. You can look at anyone and say: You are a part of me I do not yet know. From there, we begin to transform the world around us--and within us. In these sessions, you will explore the ten core practices of Revolutionary Love--how to reclaim wonder, be brave with your grief, harness your rage, reimagine solutions, embrace joy, and more. Drawing on wisdom learned on the front lines of social justice movements and research in religion, law, ethics, and science, Kaur's new framework has been called a moral compass for our time. Your training will include: - The three pillars of Revolutionary Love: See No Stranger, Tend the Wound, and Breathe & Push- Cultivating wonder as the building block for love
- Fighting for justice and liberation through fierce nonviolence
- Creating safe containers for our rage and harnessing rage for action
- Deep listening beyond "us" and "them"
- Loving ourselves as a way to find longevity and joy in all our labors "The world is in transition," says Kaur. "Some days are so deadly, I can taste ash in my mouth. Other days, I see glimpses of the world wanting to be born. A society awakened to the truth of our interdependence. How do we birth that world together? We can create a shift in consciousness and culture. A love without limit. Revolutionary love." This is a powerful course to transform the way you relate to everyone in your life--and inspire you with a vision of a world that leaves no one behind.
