Can We Teach Love? With Irene Greaves

About this episode

Ericka Graham and Irene Greaves explore the origins of love and the practice of Lovescaping in this insightful conversation.

In this episode of Curiously, Ericka sits with Irene Greaves and traces a deeper question beneath everything we think we know about love: where did we actually learn it? Irene shares how growing up and her global work in education helped to cultivate her practice, Lovescaping, a framework that sees love as something we practice through action. As they talk, the conversation moves between the outer work of building connection through shared experiences and the quieter inner work of learning to regulate ourselves, to pause, to breathe, and return to our bodies before reaching for others. Irene shares her beautiful vision of a teaching of love that is mutual, grounded, and freeing, something we can keep learning together.
