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 Romantic Love. Why are we attracted to the people who we are attracted to? What is the significance of "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"? What are past and current definitions of intimacy? How do our early bonding experiences create our current attachment styles and what might we do to transform them? How are our inner templates of masculine and feminine created and sustained? How do they play out in our romantic relationships? What is the "inner marriage" that Jungians talk about?
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.
