The Erotic Psyche: The Conception and Birth of Pleasure
January 20, 2018 @ 10:00 am - 3:00 pm PST
$90.00Using the archetypal backdrop of the myth of Eros and Psyche and their daughter Pleasure, this workshop will continue the focus on the expression and experience of sex in our internal and external realities: its instinctual, animal nature, its desire for life as well as its relation to death; its aggressive play of dominance and submission; its confrontation with collective ideals or values; its insistence on a journey to the Underworld and its conception and birth of Pleasure.
The archetypal motifs found in this myth have a personal effect that we can all feel and experience in our lives. Helpful examples, film clips, participant’s experiences and group discussions will help flesh out the vital significance that sex has in our lives.
