Chapter 4: Engagement
In the last several decades, many of us have worked hard (and are still working) to learn love unconditionally, without attachments or expectations. We’ve practiced acceptance, trying not to push others (or ourselves), not to be anywhere they’re not. And although these things are important and need to be included, is there a kind of love, a way of being together that WANTS and DEMANDS the fullest realization of the other? A love that calls forth their innate goodness, truth, and beauty to be unleashed into the world. In this special Valentine’s Day talk, Patricia Albere explores this new kind of love and what it can unleash for collectives, humanity, and the world.
Love As A Demand, As Calling Forth
Chapter 5: Commitment
Lynne Twist is the author of the best-selling book The Soul of Money and co-founder of the Pachamama Alliance. In this conversation with Patricia Albere, they explore the evolutionary force of commitment and how true and lasting change can be created in the world and our personal lives through the seemingly simple act of taking a stand. Lynne shares how commitment has shaped her life, her choices, and her very understanding of the world. They discuss how taking a stand is distinct from taking a position, and how the commitments they have made have freed them both to live extraordinary lives.

Chapter 8: Openness

Chapter 11: Contact
In this audio dialogue, Patricia and author Sera Beak (Red, Hot & Holy) explore sacred sexuality and its place within our lives and the unfolding of intersubjective awakening. What becomes possible in love and erotic connection when it arises from sacred contact with self, other, and God? When approached with the right orientation, a dazzling, ecstatic, delicate, and passionate dimension of love can emerge within intimate relationship.
