• We will tackle eroticism as a quality of vitality in relationships extending far beyond mere sexuality and show how reconciling these two competing needs is at the heart of sustaining desire over time.

• We will address paradoxes of desire and how social forces inhibit erotic expression; attachment history and the erotic blueprint.

• Educational Objectives: Learn innovative strategies to reconcile the need for safety and stability with the need for separateness and passion.

• Discover how our emotional history translates itself into our erotic blueprint.
