Stever Dallman, PhD joins Sitaram Dass for a discussion on the topic of Love. What does Unconditional Love mean? How do we practice it? What does it look like within an interpersonal relationship? How is Love an active and transformational force? How do we surrender to it?

In 2008 he founded the non-profit Liberation Institute in San Francisco, a community organization with an innovative model of offering mental health services to the entire community regardless of income.
