Ep45 | John Welwood's Castle with Thousands of Rooms

Wholehearted Loving

In today's episode we talk about part of John Wellwood's book Love and Awakening — where he likens us to castles, with thousands of rooms. The rooms represent our many aspects, many of which we close ourselves off from over the course of our development.

In our human need for love and connection, we alter ourselves in ways we deem to be “more acceptable” to the people around us. We cut ourselves off from that which we believe isn’t lovable, or relatable — we close the door and throw away the key.

If we wish to wholeheartedly love our entire selves, and each other, exploring these repressed and suppressed parts with compassion is needed. We talk about our personal experiences exploring our own castles, and more.
