“The Power of Love in Relationships”
“Love is one of the clearest examples of that double instinct which causes us to dig deeper into our own selves and, at the same time, to emerge from ourselves and to realize ourselves in another”. By practicing the principles of the 12-steps, we are carried into a deeper awareness of love. We are guided to move into a lighter, open-hearted way of living — one that promotes love, peace, and harmony.

The power of love is the most potent healing force available to all human beings. To create a path of healing, it is important that we learn how to “Love with Wisdom”. “Love with Wisdom” is the capacity to nurture and support ourselves in equal proportion to how we nurture and support others. This type of love comes from a trusting and balanced heart and carries great power in all of our relationships.
