Sexualities and Suppressions

with Guy Gladstone

Sunday 25 April 2010
10am-6pm, £65
(Full fee required to book)

April
2010
Attractions and repulsions, sameness and difference, desire and guilt, loving and being in love, the place of hatred, the unconscious decision to repress or sexualize or even sublimate : these will be topics of this unusual talking workshop.

In the field of personal growth and self development a cluster of factors may be conspiring to divert your attention away from such existential themes. A century after Freud lifted the lid we have defensive psychotherapy and nervous professionalizing, New Age cant, millenarian spiritualizing of liberation, the marginalizing of dissonant sub-cultural voices by a more strident moral majority, good olde English reticence, plus the sheer inherent difficulty of staying with these perennials (whatever the current therapeutic fad).
Ring any bells for you? This workshop will support you in righting the balance of your attention. The aim is to help you stay with personal reflections, rooted in bodily experience, while not forgetting the cultural context.

Note: A requirement for attending this workshop is a capacity to not act out your feelings afterwards.
