We think of Eros not only as the Greek god of love, lust, sex, and desire, but also of an energy that pervades a relationship between two people that is active and thriving. This does not mean that everything is always going well. Erotic energy has its storms and darkness as well as sweet, beautiful loving emotions and lustful sexuality. We are interested in exploring the undercurrents in relationships that are not always conscious but are nevertheless powerful, having impact that can draw the couple together or drive them apart.
Please join us for this exploration of how men and their lovers manage and live in relationships, for better and worse, for the joy and the sorrow.
“Loving is a journey with water and with stars,
with smothered air and abrupt storms of flour;
loving is a clash of lightning-bolts
and two bodies defeated by a single drop of honey.”
~ Pablo Neruda
