Passion Workshops
Commitment-To-Passion Psycho-Education Classes
Workshops supporting erotic partnership are designed in various formats (such as day–long events or 6 week series). Groups tend to be mostly didactic with some exercises, and with practices to take home. These groups can be an excellent way to check us out. See if you think that we can work together. Topics include:
Understanding how relationships (must) develop
Communicating to get what you want
Desire discrepancy, the dance of the "distancer" and the "pursuer"
Creating structures for erotic partnership
Appreciation and other ways of supporting one's partner
Attachment as safety and exploration as freedom
We can work with you to design a specific format for your church or organization.
