Eros in Our Lives
March 14, 2014 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm PDT
Dr. Cohen will speak on the wisdom of Eros as a larger cosmic force that is fundamental for those seeking vitality, intimacy, and a way out of self-absorbed egos. She will start with the biblical Song of Songs and Plato’s erotic dialogues, Symposium and Phaedrus to offer guidance in our current lives. She will incorporate the gifts of Eros into the experience of love between analyst and client, student and teacher, friends, and in life.
