In modern society it seems that, while all may appear to be well on the surface, many people experience a subtle feeling of discontent, and lack of self-assurance. Freedom in Love is a new course designed to explore the reasons for these feelings, and work on ways of resolving them.

At its foundation is the idea that genuine confidence, freedom, and inner peace arise more naturally as a result of embracing universal compassion, presence, and love. In this context the word presence is used to denote a state of positive acceptance of what is so. Not a fatalistic acceptance, but a holistic open acceptance in which constructive choices can be confidently made.

Freedom in Love draws on principles used in modern counselling practice, combined with ancient wisdom found in eastern philosophies. The two are brought together in a holistic approach designed for easy understanding and application in modern society.

The course will include examination of the causes of suffering, and an in depth look at the antidotes to these causes. It will: uncover the relationships between happiness, self esteem, inner confidence, compassion, empathy, and love; expose barriers created by the ego; reveal both constructive and unhelpful aspects to feelings of fear, guilt and anger, and focus on ways to utilise the positive aspects, whilst at the same time, guarding against any counter productive effects.

It is intended that the course should appeal regardless of religious or spiritual background. Whilst some of the inspiration was drawn from eastern philosophies, it is not presented as a spiritual teaching. The emphasis is on personal development, understanding, empowerment, and the freedom to forge ahead on one's own path with renewed confidence, vision, and an open heart.
