Run over three weekends, we will look at different types of loving and relating to understand better how we can function and flourish with a partner or partners in life. 

Comparison of different formats of relationship will also help us understand more heteronormative functioning and how people negotiate to live authentic and fulfilling lives, enhanced through relationship.

We will think about different ways of expressing sexuality, identity and our uniqueness, facilitated by partnerships. We’ll differentiate between script-induced relating compared to an individuation and expansive process. This will include looking at healthy and unhealthy symbioses as well as Jung’s idea that the more we can learn and experience through difference in our loving, the more we individually grow and move towards autonomy.
