Priest’s group to discuss the sacred mysteries of falling in love

MANILA, May 7 (PNA) -- Love is divine. Or as Plato, the ancient Greek philosopher, described it: Love is a divine madness.


But to many modern-day couples, love is an ordinary aspect of a relationship that is usually taken lightly and within their control.


Others feel they are complete, energized, inspired and have power and freedom. And there are also those who feel that their souls seem to be partly in eternity and partly in time.


People also know that love may lead to so much pain, failure, loss and separation, especially in a soulful relationship. But there are ways on how you can recover from them.


Fr. Loreto A. Jaque and his group, DUWA (Deliverance and Uplift in the Wonders of the Arts), will be discussing these topics in a workshop, entitled, “Honoring The Sacred Mysteries Of Falling In Love: Expressive Arts for Singles.”


The workshop will be held on May 19-20 at the Talavera Retreat House in Pardo, Cebu City.
The fee is pegged at P1,300 per person, which is inclusive of meals, snacks and handouts.


“In this workshop, we will examine the sacred mysteries of falling in love. We will also discuss the difference between 'dark love' and 'impossible love' and what do they do to the soul,” Fr. Jaque said.


He added that they will try to unravel some of love's sacred mysteries as they hope to find ways to celebrate them artfully by using archetypal myths of “Tristan and Isolde” and “Admetus and Alcestis.”


The participants should bring a notebook, pen, small vigil candle and play/dance clothes.
Slots are limited so those who are interested to join need to register early at telephone number (032) 254-91-95. (PNA)
