In this Love on Earth experience, we'll explore the many ways love can be expressed through our words, attention, presence, appreciation, affection, care, encouragement, actions, and choices. We'll reflect on how we currently express love, consider what may make expressing love difficult, and practice simple ways of making the love we feel more visible and easier for others to experience. **Shared Intention** To expand our capacity to freely and authentically express love in ways that allow the people in our lives to experience more of the love we already feel. **What We'll Do** Through personal reflection, guided exercises, partner and small-group conversations, and experiential practice, we'll explore: * How we know when someone loves or cares about us * The different ways we give and receive expressions of love * What can make expressing love feel difficult or vulnerable * Some of the meanings, expectations, and fears we attach to expressions of love * Different ways of expressing love through our words, presence, attention, appreciation, care, and actions * How to express appreciation, care, affection, encouragement, and love more explicitly Come as you are and join us as we practice bringing more of the love within us into the way we relate to one another. **About the Love on Earth Series** Love on Earth is a series exploring what it means to intentionally build lives, relat
