The Manifestation of Love in Action – It’s Time for Love to Go Viral
An In-Person 4-day Retreat: April 30 – May 3, 2026 in Santa Cruz, California
Online Access Available: May 1-3, 2026
The Love Unleashed Retreat
This heartwarming retreat focuses on the manifestation of love in action – where heart-centered intention can help balance our personal lives and restore the collective dignity and peace that are being challenged at this time. Explore how – not getting along with each other – is the missing piece for the peace that’s missing on Earth. Learn more about unleashing the power of love to help take spirituality from philosophy to the street with an action plan.
The Science of a Connected World
Behind this awakening is an expanding body of science proving what the heart has always known: We are deeply connected – to each other and to the Earth itself. HeartMath’s latest research, from global magnetometers to tree sensors to collective intention studies, reveals how our emotions, thoughts, and coherence ripple outward. This isn’t theory – it’s real- time data, showing that love in action is a measurable force for planetary transformation.
What We Can Do
Manifesting love in action begins with coherence – aligning heart, mind, and emotions. This alignment expands our natural capacity for kindness, com- passion, and care. As our love expands into everyday situations, we create an energetic field of connection that reduces stress and helps prevent separation. It’s a heart-intelligent way to enter each moment. Preceding with love is our natural tendency – and it’s our conscious practices that realign this divine connection.
