8 weeks of dating as a spiritual path:
Level up your love life
intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually
“If we succumb to fear, we start holding back, and do that all-to-common dance of getting close, then pulling away. When we remember that our safe harbor depends on our awareness and honesty, we're less likely to make internal compromises, put on masks, or act like a chameleon to attract a partner or keep a hurtful relationship together. If we live by truth, we may have pain, but we will always rest securely in ourselves.”
Charlotte Kasl
Are you dating currently or thinking about getting back into the game, and feel like you could use more support?
Are you sick of going at it alone - managing ghosting, miscommunications, isolation, and the constant hits to your self-esteem and sense of value? Are you about to throw in the towel after working harder than you feel you should to find a genuine connection?
If the Buddha Dated, by Charlotte Kasl, Ph.D. is an inspiring book about how to walk through your dating life like it's a spiritual path. If the Buddha Dated Book Club is a transformational 8 week group focused on mindfulness and dating and designed to support you in realizing your dating goals. We will set dating goals, and create weekly action steps to support our intentions.
