“We are put on this earth for a very short time in order to learn to love,” - James Finley, Ph.D., spiritual teacher, and writer.

Life is a school for love, and the Divine Heart Gatherings will offer insights and practices so that we can live a life of conscious love with self, others, God, and all of creation.

We are being invited to collaborate with Sacred Presence to fulfill love in our lives and in our world.

How will the Divine Heart program be structured?

Additional journaling writing prompts, prayer practices, and guided meditations will be provided through the online platform we will be using.

Community Connections:

We will have opportunities to share during our zoom calls, and through the online platform.
