The sexual and spiritual parts of the human personality lie so close together that we cannot arouse one without arousing the other.” Scott Peck

Sexuality and spirituality are powerful inter-related energies given for life. Either one in exile from the other creates distortion and imbalance. The embodied, desiring self and draw toward intimacy, mutuality, generative life, and the urge toward wholeness point to the sacred fire - Eros - at the core of the human person. Reverent, wakeful tending of these energies is a necessary antidote to naiveté about the power and nature of erotic and creative energy as well as to a reflexive fear that seeks to repress the pulse of life itself. In our time together we will explore ways of regarding and holding these vital energies within ourselves as directors as well as within the spiritual direction relationship.
