The School of Life invites you to an evening where we create a rare space for honest dialogue about our most intimate experiences. "Let's Talk About Sex" is not about techniques or performance, but rather an exploration of the profound emotional dimensions of our sexual selves.
Throughout the evening, we'll examine why sex matters so deeply to us, how it connects to our histories and vulnerabilities, and why, despite apparent openness, we find it so difficult to express what we truly want. We'll explore how melancholy and desire intertwine, why shame persists despite our intellectual rejection of it, and how our yearnings often remain mysterious even to ourselves.
In a thoughtful environment designed for reflection rather than exposure, you'll gain insights into the philosophical aspects of sexuality that are rarely discussed in our culture's superficial treatment of the subject. You'll discover frameworks for understanding your relationship to pleasure, intimacy, and connection.
Whether you're navigating the complexities of a long-term relationship or making sense of modern dating culture, this evening offers a chance to develop a more compassionate and nuanced understanding of this fundamental human experience, one that acknowledges both its profound joys and inevitable complications. Please note: this is an exclusive access event for The School of Life Members. The ticket costs £50, excluding ticket fees and VAT. This event has 25 spaces available.
