in the presence of
LOVE
PHILOSOPHY
At the heart of our philosophy is the understanding that Love is always present.
Love is the creative Presence that sustains everything in existence — body, soul and spirit, every level of being, every wave and particle. Everything in creation is interrelated, interconnected and interdependent, creating itself through the principle of Love.
We don't have to go anywhere to find Love. As we become still and place our attention into the eternal field of Love, we become acquainted with this marvellous reality.
Everything about Love is a gift. We are already held in Mother/Father Love. We are already part of this great field of life and creation.
As we practise the remembrance of Love, Her truth becomes increasingly habitual, reassuring and delightful. It doesn't take away suffering, but it can take away our fear of suffering. It leads us into a non-dualistic, unified experience, which is what we need as individuals and as a collective more than ever before.
Love is our common ground
“God is Love.”
— 1 John 4:16 · Christianity
“Love your neighbour as yourself.”
— Leviticus 19:18 · Judaism
“He will love them and they will love Him.”
— Qur'an 5:54 · Islam
“I follow the religion of Love.”
— Ibn Arabi · Sufism
“Love is the astrolabe of God’s mysteries.”
— Rumi, Masnavi · Sufism
“Love is our fundamental reality.”
— Dalai Lama · Buddhism
“Let us then try what Love will do.”
— William Penn · Quaker
Love has no requirement for us to be the same. Each of us is a manifestation and a creator of Love.
Love is creating and experiencing herself through you and me and all living beings.
Our uniqueness becomes part of the whole. Each of us has an equally important part in bringing Love into creation. Our one responsibility is to be true to the Love residing within us.
“May the glory of Love be the centre on which our lives turn.”
— Adaptation from Matthew 6:9

We're in Phase 1 — Foundations. Building everything In the Presence of Love needs to grow: governance, communications, volunteer and Wisdom Circle recruitment. Every donation brings Phase 2 — Launch closer, when the full programme begins: more weekly drop-ins, and our first Immersion Days. Alongside this, we're actively fundraising to ensure that we can grow on solid foundations for years to come.
The weekly Tuesday sessions are already running and always free. Your donation is what makes that possible.
