Presentation Description:
The Paradox of Relationship: "I alone must become myself; I cannot become myself alone." -Pittman Mcgeehee
Join us in our on-going conversation about Love. Tonight's topic will be Desire. What is desire? What does it serve? Should we squelch desire or develop "right relationship" to it? Can we experience desire without the need to obtain that which we desire? Can we desire without clinging or craving? Can we simply enjoy the feeling of desire or yearning? Can our desire point us towards our aliveness?
**What happens when you depend on romantic relationship for your sense of aliveness?* *
Please join us to discuss these and other mysteries, weaving in psychological, Jungian, and sociological concepts. Our discussion will focus on relationship as a process instead of as a goal. Through this examination, we have the opportunity to bring more clarity, understanding and awareness to both our conscious and unconscious ideas of love with the possibility of making room for new ones to emerge.
