Chicava is presenting I Am My Valentine, an afternoon workshop to unlock, unblock and open to the love you are by Undoing Romanticism.
Sunday, February 14
11am-3pm CST
We live in an age of Romanticism which is only one kind of love. It’s really the most dangerous if you think about it, because your experience of its existence relies on another human being who’s just as beautiful, hurt, damaged, ambitions, confused, busy, overwhelmed, and hopeful as you are.
We don’t see ourselves as ambitious about love, after all we’re just endeavoring to get what we were taught we were supposed to have so we can be who we’re supposed to be in the eyes of society that have seeped into the reflection we see in the mirror. Only after a major heartbreaking catastrophe (or ya know, like 80) do we start to question what’s up with this whole deal? How can we let LOVE be itself in the midst of partnerships of all kinds.
Let’s explore what happens when we Let Love Be Love
