Eros Meets Ananke

You want an evening dancing, time alone, a creative project, or something you can barely find room to admit. At the same time, there’s rent, care, work, promises and the need for rest. Your wanting can begin to sound unreasonable, even to you.

Eros Meets Ananke puts desire and necessity on the same page. You’ll explore what you want, what life genuinely requires and where a small, honest opening might exist.

For the wish you keep postponing

For people balancing a real longing with responsibilities that cannot simply disappear. Perhaps you’re caring for someone, counting your money carefully, or living with old ideas about what a good partner, parent or friend is allowed to want. You don’t need to choose recklessness or permanent self-denial.

What you'll learn and practise

  • Name one desire without having to turn it into a sensible, productive goal first.
  • Separate practical facts, commitments you could renegotiate and rules you may have inherited.
  • Find the meaningful part of a wish and explore three possibilities: something possible now, something to discuss, and something to plan for later.
  • Choose a step with a realistic time, cost and plan for the other people involved.

You’ll make a simple map you can return to whenever your own wishes and everyday necessities seem to be pulling in opposite directions.

Twelve short written lessons combine practical examples, a small practice and optional saved reflections. Move at your own pace and return whenever you need to.

The Motherhole

The Motherhole hosts women-only circles at Sensual Institute in Stockholm. These gatherings are for women who want to speak openly about desire, care, ageing and the experiences that rarely have room in everyday conversation. We write, listen and sometimes work with breath, sound or movement. You can share or simply listen. The circles explore three realms: Eros, Mother and Crone. You can find upcoming dates and tickets for these circles in the Sensual Institute events calendar.

Eros

Eros is the realm of desire, pleasure, longing and the right to say no. Our women-only circles make space to explore attraction, intimacy, changing appetite and the difference between what you want and what others expect of you. You choose what you share.
