Love & Intimacy: Getting It and Keeping It!

It is assumed that love and intimacy are naturally a part of a committed relationship. But are they really? Love is more than a good feeling and intimacy is more than sex. Do these concepts hold the same meanings for each partner? Do our concepts of Love and Intimacy say more about who we are than the quality of our relationships? How are these concepts influenced by such social forces as the media and religion? Has what we believe love and intimacy to be brought the fulfillment we seek in our relationships? The FLOW and our panel of experts will explore Love & Intimacy: Is it real or imagined in your relationship?

Sex, Religion and Spirituality: Reconciling our Sexual and Spiritual Selves

Where do our notions regarding sex and sexuality come from, our initial caregivers, religion, social conditioning or just a conflicting mix? Is our sexuality basic to who we are or is it to be defined only within the confines of a relationship? How did sex become a Pandora's box separate from a meaningful spiritual life. How do our sexual attitudes impact our relationships? The FLOW will explore how both historical and current attitudes towards sex and sexuality shape the character of our relationships. It's deeper than you think!
