Love and the Path
Relationships and Contemplative PracticeA group for exploring how contemplative practice intersects with intimate relationships. How do you stay present with the person you love when every part of you wants to react? What does it mean to see clearly in the middle of desire, frustration, or loneliness? We draw from the app's content on emotions, compassion, and self-knowledge, and we bring our actual relationship lives into the room.
Facilitator
Arthur Jeon
Head of Special Projects at Waking Up. Author of City Dharma and Sex, Love, and Dharma. I spent years trying to figure out how contemplative practice survives contact with real life — rush hour, heartbreak, ambition, noise. Turns out the chaos is not the obstacle. It is the curriculum. I facilitate groups because the dharma was never meant to be a solo project, and the people who need it most are usually the ones convinced they are too busy for it.

Who this group is for
Anyone in a relationship, getting over one, or trying to figure out why they keep choosing the same patterns. Couples welcome but not required to attend together.
What to expect
This group requires a willingness to be honest about your relational life. We are not here to fix each other's relationships. We are here to see more clearly. Do the assigned practice and come with one observation about yourself in relation to someone you care about.
