What if everything is love or an opportunity to love? What if it’s just that simple? Can divine loving desire fuel our shedding of everything that is not love and generate creative, abundant and fulfilling paths that make our hearts sing? What does it take to trust the path love offers, even if it requires defiance of our ideas of impossibility? This season we are in conversation with some incredible thinkers and artists to explore these inquiries and so much more. I am your host Umang. And Possibilities of Love is our new season.
