Love Is A Big Deal on Valentines Day: But What Are We Really Talking About?

Pat Coffey gave this dharma talk at IMCC on Feb 13, 2018. Love is a "squirrelly" term that has many connotations and definitions. Throughout the ages poets, artists, writers, musicians, philosophers, psychologists and now neuroscientists have offered their take on one of the strongest and most beautiful emotions known to humankind. In honor of Valentines Day we will explore this phenomena. We will look at romantic love and forms of love beyond the romantic....forms of love that can soften and enrich our lives whether we are partnered in the classic romantic way or not.
