2017 Session | ENCORE: The Future of Modern Love

The quality of our lives depends on the quality of our relationships. Yet, when it comes to modern love, the expectations and social norms are quickly shifting beneath our feet. Over the past three decades, iconic couples’ therapist, erotic intelligence expert and best-selling author of Mating in Captivity and The State of Affairs, Esther Perel has been a penetrating observer of cultural patterns. In this session, she will explore desire, trust, honesty, accountability and the complicated (and contradictory) needs that are shaping relationships today. Attendees will walk away with a better understanding of the intricacies of love and desire and what it takes to build thriving and resilient relationships.
