My Greek Philosophy professor in college was dirty, smelly and hairy, exactly what a Greek Philosopher professor should be. He was also a bad ass, smart ass critic of my papers. I liked him.

Philautía Grounded in Agápē

Self-Compassion Grounded in the Beloved Divine

I’m up at the wonderful Grünewald Guild in Plain, Washington, this week at a contemplative retreat with one of my core yoga teachers. It just happens to be held at a contemplative artists community so in addition to the splendor of nature, there’s art everywhere!

This morning we were discussing the different kinds of love defined by ancient Greek philosophers. Then we were to make a response, part of the Lectio Divina practice we’ve been doing.
