Love plays a most important part in all of our lives, whether we know it or not, whether the lack of it or its presence. Today we interview Cindy Wald, an intuitive and Andy Dale, a therapist. Together they have logged more than 80,000 hours in private consultation with people. Their take on this topic, combined with Dr. Miller’s, is explored in this edition of Conversations. Love, according to today’s guests, is a matter of “togetherness,” comprising care, unity, compassion, and bondedness. Using their new book, Togetherness, Creating and Deepening Sustainable Love as a starting point, we will explore the “definition” of Love, including the teachings of the great Zen master, Winnie the Pooh!

Next, there is the notion of togetherness with a future partner, and then togetherness with a current partner. Finally there is partnering with community and the divine.
