Celebrate Valentine's
A Little Differently This Year...
Hello Beautiful.
You, my friend, are stardust. Stardust! Your great, great, great, great (plus quite a few more 'greats') grandmothers and grandfathers were ancient stars that gloriously exploded, sparkling out through the cosmos. That stardust became all the particles that make up life on this beautiful planet we call home.
That is no small matter.
You are magnificent. You are profoundly interconnected with all of existence. You are also exquisitely unique. Your dreams, creativity, presence, insights, and perspective matter. You are a glorious piece of the universe manifested as you for a little while.
Knowing this...
What if you chose to experience love as something far greater than what's shared between lovers?
What if you said yes to falling in love with yourself?
What if life itself became your beloved?
If you want to explore love from a much larger perspective, I invite you to join me in this course as we celebrate life's beauty together. This will not be a Hallmark Valentine's Day celebration. There is nothing wrong with a dozen red roses, chocolates, and teddy bears, but you are so much more than that, love is so much more than that!
If that sounds like your jam, I invite you to keep reading...
With love,
Catherine Douglas
“The biggest embrace of love you’ll ever make is to embrace yourself completely. Then you’ll realize you’ve just embraced the whole universe, and everything and everybody in it.” ~ Adyashanti
My Story of Expanding Everything I Thought I Knew About Love...
A number of years ago I was going through a devastating heartbreak. From facing the end of a relationship, to a series of drive-by shootings that ravaged my neighborhood, to the aching state of the world that I spend most of my time doing activist work to support, my heart was shattered. Somehow, I found myself on the magical island of Kauai, Hawaii. It was as if I had died and gone to heaven.
While I was there, I had a profound experience of falling in love... with myself, with this incredible planet, and with life. It was pure magic.
Making Love with Life is what came through from my time on the islands. May it help you fall ever more in love with yourself and the beauty of this world.

"Love is a state of Being.
Your love is not outside; it is deep within you.
You can never lose it, and it cannot leave you.
It is not dependent on some other body, some external form.
In the stillness of your presence, you can feel your own formless and timeless reality as the unmanifested life that animates your physical form.
You can then feel the same life deep within every other human and every other creature.
You look beyond the veil of form and separation.
This is the realization of oneness.
This is love."
~ Eckhart Tolle

From the first time I saw you, Light was bubbling out of you
like a glass of champagne. Attending the Making Love With Life course in Boulder tickled my heart, my palate of perception, my tear ducts, my voice box, and gently prodded my protected heart to open up to the possibilities of letting in the beauty of existence.
~ Sam, in-person Making Love with Life class participant

Q: Are there live teleconferences or webinars?
A: This course is not based in tele-calls or webinars. You will receive all of your lessons after purchase in the course portal.
Q: What if I'm not in love with my life right now?
A: That's perfectly okay! Start from where you are. Nothing needs to change. This course is about deepening into the present and accepting and loving what is, even if your life doesn't appear to be the most ideal right now. The second lesson of the course focuses specifically on this topic, giving you permission to be exactly where you are. Other lessons dive into different topics, and you will be invited to try on new lenses, to see the world through many perspectives. The invitation is to play and explore different ideas and states. There is no need for you to experience anything other than what's real for you. If you let yourself be just as you are, you might be surprised what fun will come knocking!
Q: What if I cannot see the beauty in the world at all?
A: I know that place. In fact, recently I've been feeling quite low. My heart has been breaking so intensely over the state of our aching world that I've almost lost myself in all the suffering. I made this course to remind myself of life's beauty. Both the immense suffering and the magnificent beauty on this planet are true. I believe if our activism work comes from, and is infused by, love, it is more powerful than just reacting to the pain. It is my hope that this course will remind you of the beauty too, that it will help us all come from a deeper place of love, so ultimately we can serve and care for each other ever more fully.
Q: How will taking this course affect my love life?
A: Arthur Rubinstein said, "I have found that if you love life, life will love you back." The more you love yourself and all of life, and the more you live as love, the more love will show up in your life. Whether you are in relationship already or not, notice what magic starts to unfold around you.
Q: What makes you qualified to teach about love?
A: It is true that as long as humans have existed, we've been infatuated with, had opinions on, and written poems and songs about - love. So much has been said before. But no one has compiled, curated, synthesized, and shared a curriculum in the exact same way as I have. And that's what makes us all unique! If the vibe of this resonates with you, I invite you to join. It's not for everyone. Listen to see if it is right for you. And... this concept of making love with life is ever evolving, and I'd love YOU to help that evolution through your input, insights, and creativity!
Q: Do you offer money back and returns?
A: Not for this program. Due to the digital nature of this product, no refunds or returns are allowed. Please be sure about your decision prior to completing your purchase.
Q: This sounds great! I'd love to share this with my friends!
A: Awesome! It will make the course that much more fun to have your friends and community join you!
