Warren Farrell, Ph.D.
Esalen,
July 23-25, 2010
The single most important decision we make is the choice of our partner. It affects our happiness and health, our spirituality and wealth, as well as where we live our life, and the children to whom we give life. Yet the very chemistry that creates that choice often comes with the characteristics that undermine intimacy.
This singles weekend begins with the art and discipline of choosing the right partner by balancing the chemistry that creates love with the skills that create lasting love. It helps participants both find a compassionate partner, and become a compassionate partner.
To those ends, Warren Farrell facilitates in-depth exercises with each sex “walking a mile in the moccasins” of the other sex. To build enduring intimacy on compassion’s foundation, both sexes are introduced to Cinematic Immersion: Dr. Farrell’s method for handing personal criticism without becoming defensive.
Throughout, Dr. Farrell answers questions women have about men, such as “Why are men so afraid of expressing feelings and so fearful of commitment?” and questions men are afraid to ask, such as “If women are so liberated, why do so many still expect men to ask them out, pick them up, drive, pay for dinner, take all the sexual initiatives, and call them in the morning?”
Most participants feel, “I’ve never felt so much compassion for the other sex.”
