愛神與親密 – 啓動生命的原創力

Eros and Intimacy – Connecting with Your Creative Life Force

[English description below]

讓生命充滿活力與趣味

愛神（愛洛斯）的力量，或者説：生命的能量，也就是創造的力量，讓我們與生命活水和大自然連結。這股力量在我們的身體內不斷循環，也讓我們相互吸引，我們每一個人的生命也因著倆人的愛神之舞而誕生！

人際關係中，愛神（愛洛斯）的能量常會造成我們之間的誤解、困擾、羞愧，和罪惡感。但是，如果我們能學習把心敞開，深入了解愛神的智慧與能量，誏這股能量在我們的生命和人際關係中不斷循環，我們就能打開我們的感官知覺，無論是和自己獨處，或是與他人同在，我們能夠學習全然地活在生命的喜悅中。在我們了解和分享愛神的智慧時，我們也學習擁抱脆弱並且真實存在。

在這個充滿冒險的精彩課程中，我們邀請您一起來學習，如何滋養並連結愛神的能量。假設您有伴侶，您也可以練習如何將這些美妙的經驗與您的伴侶分享。經由身心合一的體驗，分享對話，以及自我省思，期待大家都有機會一起洞見連結愛神能量與靈性經驗的新視野。

在大多數恩愛的伴侶間，愛神的能量有時候也會如潮水般的消退；在關係中這可能會帶來苦痛和誤解。課程中我們會一起來探索如何不是以羞愧，而是用一顆誠摯並充滿愛的心來溝通我們逐漸消退的愛神能量。

Eros and Intimacy ~ Connecting with Your Creative Life Force

Daily life as “For Play”

Erotic energy, or life energy, is the creative force that moves us into connection with life and with nature. It circulates within our own bodies and draws us to another. Each one of us began life through the dance of Eros.

In human relationships sexual erotic energy can often be a source of misunderstanding and struggle, shame and guilt. With open hearts and deeper understanding about how erotic energy moves through our life and relationship cycles we can learn how to open to the pleasure of being fully alive in our senses, alone, and with each other.  We learn to embrace the vulnerability and revelation that accompany erotic knowledge and sharing.

In this course you will be invited to learn how to nurture and engage your own erotic energy and, if you are partnered, how to share this with your loved one. We offer insight into the connection between erotic and spiritual experiencing through body centered learning, through dialogue with one another and self reflection.

Erotic energy will ebb and flow even in the most loving couple. This could bring about suffering and misunderstanding in their relationship. We will explore how to communicate our erotic being with less shame, with honesty, and a loving heart.

Each session will focus on different topics related to Eros and Intimacy and you will be invited to continue your reflections in the time between sessions. These explorations will take place in an atmosphere of respect and every person’s choice is respected. The format will include:

• Embodiment meditations
• Presentations about Eros and Intimacy in Relationships
• Experiential exercises
• Small group sharing and reflections
• Take home practices

Topics and Highlights

• Overview on Perspectives of Erotic Living – The Seven Circles of Sexuality: Context, Sensuality, Sexualization and Objectification, Intimacy, Sexual Identity, Whole Person Sexual Health and Spirituality/Values
• Sensuality: coming alive in the body through senses
• Sexualization/Objectification: sex and power, sexuality post romance
• Intimacy: eros in relationships, the desire for comfort vs the desire for novelty, the willingness to move from power to connection
• Whole Person Sexual Health: physical/spiritual/relational, gender identity and roles, the role of values and spirituality in erotic life

Format

This bilingual program is offered in Mandarin and English with live translation. Participants will have opportunities to ask questions, discuss and interact with each other. We will also use breakout rooms for smaller groups discussions. Breakout rooms will be offered with language options; you can choose an English breakout room or Mandarin breakout room.
