The Embrace #1: New Territory

New TerritoryBy Mari Perron, First Receiver of A Course of Love Dear Reader: Welcome to the INAUGURAL EDITION of The Embrace, an occasional newsletter featuring many voices. A Course of Love asks us to enter new territory. The territory of conscious awareness. This...
