Hello, and welcome everyone! My name is Faruk, writer, designer, and artist/coach in training. I’m envisioning and creating Love First, a way of life aimed at co-creating a world built on new foundations of Universal Love—and I would love your support and collaboration!

I’ve been reverse-engineering “love” for a number of years, and the things I’ve learned and discovered have made my life richer, happier, calmer, and positively overflowing with love—and all of that during (and despite) the chaos, crises and pandemic effects of the past 5 years. I want to share everything I've learned with you as well, through this Patreon (and other ways).

What you’ll get

This Patreon will be like a multimedia blog for the ongoing development of Love First. You’ll receive its emerging ideas, research, and philosophies through writing, art and illustration, media analysis, and music curation. You can read more about it in this short primer on Love First.

By becoming a Patron you’ll get a front row seat to all things Love First, and occasionally be invited into the cockpit of this airplane, to help determine the direction we’re heading—flying the plane as we build it. After all, if we want to build and live in A World That Works For All Of Us, we’re going to have to collaborate. :)

There are three tiers:

$1 — Made With Love, First

Patron-only updates and developing insights into all aspects of life, from the perspective of how Love can help us bring sense to our ridiculous world, find our happy path in life, make meaningful contributions, and create peace and harmony in our lives.

$5 — Art & Music Curation

Follow along on my journey into becoming an artist of multiple disciplines: illustration and visualizations, comics & graphic novel-type stories, and performance art like standup comedy. It will be accompanied by the Years of Love music playlists, with context and stories explaining the song selections.

$13 — Books + Challenges

I’ve put together a curriculum of books that help inform, shape, or explain the Love First way of life. Many are science-backed non-fiction books like Atlas of the Heart or Atomic Habits, but there are also philosophical and spiritual sources, poetry, and more. For this Tier I will distill the most essential teachings and learnings from these books, and, unlike “book summary” or “abridged version” apps, I will explain how the science and insights in the book tie in with Love, and how their teachings can help you cultivate more love in your life.

Additionally, Patrons in this tier will get access to the development of daily practices and 30-day challenges to cultivate Universal Love into their lives, with science-backed methods and a sprinkling of spiritual love.

With love,
