The workshop is entitled "The Future of Love: The Power of the Soul in Intimate Relationships" and will be held at the Naropa University Nalanda Campus, 6287 Arapahoe Ave., Boulder. The public is welcome to enroll. The workshop content is appropriate for those in or out of relationships, married or unmarried. The cost of the full weekend workshop is $175.

Kingma's expertise in fostering fulfilling relationships is particularly important in a society where more than half of all marriages end in divorce. Kingma says "I'm here to teach people how to love. That's because I believe—I know—that love is the most important thing we will ever do in this life. The beauty of our relationships is that through them we can learn to love more."
