The Love Actually Course
What informs and shapes your idea of love?
Anecdotal experiences, The media? Can you trust your sources?

We want to change that! Let us educate ourselves on what this elusive emotion is.
Love: It's What Makes The World Go Round
Aside from the scientific inaccuracy of the previous statement, love is certainly a pillar in our lives. It features in every episode of our otherwise dull existence. A dearth of it makes us lonely. When unrequited, it can ache, quite literally. A new and burgeoning love can leave us feeling elated, euphoric, infatuated, and giddy. It makes for an interesting concoction of emotions that can either be the best or worst thing.
When it fractures and implodes, we experience heartbreak. It pulls and tugs at our heartstrings yet despite the plethora of ailments and symptoms it induces, we do not seek help from a doctor. We seek it from our friends rather than trust it, or better yet, take precautionary measures.
We want to change that! Let us educate ourselves on what this elusive emotion is, or is it even an emotion, to begin with?
A misunderstanding or ignorance about love has deep consequences on multiple aspects of our life. Our mental health can nosedive, our ability to nurture and sustain intimate bonds can be impeded and the amount of sweet nectar we extract from the seasons of life is limited.
By combining a psychological, sociological, and spiritual perspective, we are busting myths about love and relationships. Turning the enigma of love into something you can grasp and implement in your relationships.
