LOVE ME MORE

---

We believe that beautiful, enduring love needs somewhere strong to grow.

Before we learn to deeply love another, before we learn how to build a relationship together, and before we can truly allow love to lead, we begin with the relationship from which every other relationship flows:

the one we have with ourselves.

Love Me More is an 8 week journey of self-discovery, self-awareness and inner union. It is an invitation to understand yourself more deeply, recognise the patterns that shape how you love, and discover the complementary feminine and masculine energies within you.

These energies are not determined by gender. They are human capacities that exist within all of us, which is why Love Me More is relevant to everyone.

The feminine invites us towards receptivity, intuition, tenderness, creativity, connection, feeling and flow.

The masculine invites us towards presence, discernment, direction, protection, boundaries, structure, courage and purposeful action.

Neither is better. Neither is complete without the other.

The journey is about recognising both, understanding your relationship with them, and allowing them to come into greater harmony within you.

The first eight weeks invite you to meet yourself again.

We slow down enough to become curious about the person beneath the roles, responsibilities, achievements and expectations.

Who am I when I am not performing or achieving? What does my body tell me? What do I need? What brings me alive? Where have I silenced myself? Can I receive as naturally as I give? Can I trust what I feel?

Through the symbolism of the cherry blossom tree, we journey through belonging, self-worth, connection, self-trust, tenderness, joy, release and wholeness.

The feminine teaches us to listen rather than continually override, to feel rather than immediately fix, to receive as well as give, and to rediscover intuition, creativity, pleasure and connection.

We begin to say:

I see myself.
I hear myself.
I trust myself.
I honour myself.
I love myself.

Once we can see ourselves more clearly, we can begin to recognise the patterns that have quietly shaped our lives and relationships.

What do I repeatedly do when I feel afraid?

Where do I please, pursue, withdraw, control, rescue or disappear?

What am I protecting?

Where do I abandon myself to maintain connection?

And which patterns once protected me, but no longer belong in the life or love I am creating?

We approach these discoveries with compassion rather than judgement.

Then we meet the Divine Masculine within.

The masculine brings direction to awareness. It helps us translate what we know into discernment, boundaries, courage, choices and action.

The feminine may whisper:

This doesn't feel right.

The masculine responds:

Then I will honour that.

The feminine may say:

This is what my heart longs for.

The masculine answers:

Then let us have the courage to move towards it.

Self-awareness begins to become self-leadership.

Ultimately, Love Me More is not about becoming more feminine or more masculine.

It is about becoming more whole.

The receptive and the purposeful.
The intuitive and the discerning.
The tender and the strong.
The one who dreams and the one who acts.
The heart that opens and the wisdom that protects what is sacred.

This is inner union: learning to recognise, honour and embody both energies within ourselves.

And from this foundation, something beautiful becomes possible.

We can begin to meet another person without asking them to carry the parts of ourselves we have not yet learned to meet.

Instead of:

Complete me.

We begin with:

I am learning to become whole. Come meet me here.

We see love as a journey with three foundations:

LOVE ME MORE
First, we build the relationship within.
Know yourself. Honour yourself. Trust yourself. Become more whole.

LOVE YOU MORE
Then, we learn to love another.
To understand one another, communicate, remain ourselves within intimacy, navigate differences, grow together and choose love again and again.

LET LOVE LEAD
And eventually, love becomes bigger than the two of us.
It begins to shape how we live, lead, parent, create, serve and contribute to the world around us.

That is why we begin here.

A beautiful relationship cannot be built only on chemistry, hope or good intentions alone. Like the cherry blossom tree that runs through our work, what flourishes above the ground depends upon what has been nurtured beneath it.

Love Me More is those roots.

It is our foundation programme because we truly believe that when we create a strong foundation within ourselves, we create a stronger platform from which to love another without losing ourselves, grow together without diminishing one another, and ultimately allow love to lead.
