The Game of Love by Wendy Strgar

It is said that the game of love is everyone’s favorite game, and yet even with all the new technologies designed to help us connect, more and more people are opting out of the game, preferring to live alone, than to risk another bad relationship outcome.   This preference reflects a deep change in our collective [...]

In Sickness and In Health by Wendy Strgar

If love is so healing why does it hurt so much?  This is a good question with  difficult answers.   Love the verb is a constant practice of feeling compassion, giving the benefit of the doubt and struggling to feed our goals and desires, as well as those of whom we love. This aspiration is a [...]

Gratitude by Wendy Strgar

Gratitude by Wendy Strgar

“Gratitude is the heart’s memory.”  French proverb I have generally not been a sports fan in life, but living with my husband for over 20 years and raising two sons has trained me in the importance of the game.  Tonight we shared a real loss as we watched the dreams of our star quarterback slip [...]

Truth by Wendy Strgar

Truth by Wendy Strgar

“The world is too dangerous for anything but truth and too small for anything but love.”  W.S. Coffin Telling the truth in relationships is perhaps the most challenging aspect of relating.  Not doing it makes relationships impossible.  It is difficult because it takes time to know our own truth and because often even as we [...]

Tantra for the Un-initiated by Wendy Strgar

This is the textbook for what sex was made for. Centuries old, tantric practices are part of a much larger hindu/vedic tradition of which sexuality is only part. The full practice is a life long spiritual quest which demonstrates the interconnectedness of everything and includes yoga, meditation, breath work as well as sexual techniques. The [...]

The Promises that Matter by Wendy Strgar

The Promises that Matter

A promise is a commitment you make with your heart.  Promises are not like other decisions that we make that have open ended options of easy termination if it doesn’t suit our needs or doesn’t make us happy.  The act of promising releases the right to reason on some level, because keeping a promise requires [...]

The Ecology of Love by Wendy Strgar

The Ecology of Love by Wendy Strgar

When I teach about the Ecology of Love and talk about the water that lives between people I often use the term “showing up” to describe the flow that happens in relationships.   In relationships, like the ocean,  there is an ebb and tide to how we are present for each other,  but if the water [...]

You Are What You Love by Wendy Strgar

“You are what you love, not what loves you. That’s what I decided a long time ago.”  I have remembered this concluding line of a conversation between Nicolas Cage and himself (when he played the twin writer brothers in the 2002 movie “Adaptation”) for over five years.  I have many times thought back on it [...]
