Product Information
In “Eros/Power”, the authors share the beautiful and ugly of their erotic autobiographies, beginning with their relationship history as professor and student. They provide an exploration of the ups and downs of true love in order to help others reflect upon their own personal love experiences, and re-imagine erotic friendship in more life affirming ways.
Under an inquiry perspective, this book delves into the enchanting power of passionate love as well as how it can lead into torturous agony. It also discusses the exercise of power to love rather than to imprison.
This book aims to shed light on:
- Approaching love in a way that creates awareness
- Loving non-possessively, but with commitment
- Loving inquiringly, while benefiting who you love
- The relationship between your spiritual life and embodied love
- Engaging this great life adventure, in spite of our unique wounds
- Loving passionately, compassionately, and dispassionately at the same time
