Event Details
Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself... - Khalil Gibran
As a member of the Integral Evolutionary community we understand that you take Love seriously. And why wouldn't you? Love is the Eros that drives Evolution. Put simply, if all levels of reality evolve, then Love must evolve as well. And awakening to the Three Faces of Love is essential in taking the next step in Love’s evolution in order to navigate your life successfully.
What would happen if you committed to a conscious, developmental practice of Love – not sentimental, not overly emotional or personally fixated, but one of genuine transformation that changes you, those you love, and the world?
Become an Instrument of Love’s Evolution. Join iEvolve founders and Integral Spiritual teachers Diane Musho Hamilton, Dr. Marc Gafni, and the Integral Evolutionary tribe on Tuesday, October 5th as we boldly take this next step towards more engaged, authentic, and evolutionary practices of Transformation and Love.
Are you ready to challenge yourself to grow in and as Love? Are you prepared to admit that your Loving is stalled at the status quo, and that is up to you to change it? Do you want to evolve your Love consciously?
If you are longing for this, join Diane Musho Hamilton and Dr. Marc Gafni for a 9-week journey into intimacy, vulnerability, and the vast wilderness of the heart.
Abandon limited self-discovery and enter into a rapturous world where, through conscious engagement, you become an instrument of Love’s Evolution.
What kind of love do you really long for? What kind of love do you yearn to give? What have you imagined for yourself and for those you care about? When was the last time you challenged yourself to confess what’s true - not as an ideal, but as your lived reality, as your life?

Diane is a fully ordained Zen priest and teacher. She has studied Buddhism since 1984, and was given dharma transmission by her Zen master, Genpo Roshi, in 2006. She works with the Big Mind process; a facilitation technique synthesized by Roshi to convey Eastern teachings to Western audiences.

About Dr. Marc Gafni
Dr. Marc Gafni holds his doctorate from Oxford University. He is a rabbi and an iconoclastic teacher of Kabbalah and World Spirituality. He is the director with Ken Wilber, Sally Kempton and Diane Hamilton of the Integral Life Spiritual Center and core founder and faculty member of iEvolve: Global Practice Community. He has written seven books, including the national bestseller Soul Prints, and The Mystery of Love, an exploration of the relationship between the sexual, the erotic, and the sacred. Gafni’s teaching is marked by a deep transmission of open heart, love and leading edge provocative wisdom. Gafni’s path of personal evolution, in both the agony and the ecstasy of what he calls “sacred autobiography,” woven together with profound reverence and reading of sacred texts have formed the context for his teaching. It is from this place of broken-hearted humility, radical joy and sacred audacity that he teaches. Gafni is considered by many to be a visionary voice in the founding of a new World Spirituality and one of the great mind/heart teachers of the generation.

Our misision: Evolving a World Spirituality
iEvolve is a global network committed to fostering the practice of a World Spirituality rooted in integral and evolutionary principles. At iEvolve we are working toward an articulation of an emerging world spirituality which includes and honors the insights of the great traditions, but which transcends their limiting characteristics.
Many people are living this powerful reality, yet its emerging principles and practices have yet to be clearly perceived and articulated. iEvolve is committed to working with others to clarify the principles and practices of a “post” post-modern spirituality that unifies not divides.
Through our website, online social community, events, and telecourses, iEvolve offers connection and teaching for those dedicated to unfolding a spirituality for our time.
iEvolve is co-founded and led by Integral Spiritual teachers Diane Musho Hamilton, Marc Gafni, Sally Kempton, and Sofia Diaz, together with Kelly Sosan Bearer. Visit us at www.iEvolve.org
