The Engine of Desire

Learn to Harness the Power of Desire to Fulfill Your Unique Potential

Desire is the wellspring of inspiration, purpose, and manifestation. Without desire, our creativity founders, leaving us unmotivated and without direction. “What makes the engine go? Desire, desire, desire,” wrote the poet Stanley Kunitz. In this eye-opening six-week course, Mark guides you through the landscape of your own desires to discover your true passions and aspirations, and where the flow of desire is leading you. Freeing yourself of fear and shame, you liberate the force of your natural longings and the promise of your innate gifts. This increases well-being, deepens your connection to others, fosters vitality and imagination, and reminds you who you really are beneath the veneer of social convention. When you recognize the energy of desire as your greatest ally, making clear choices becomes less challenging. You are guided by the force of eros—the dynamism animating life itself—which helps to lead you to a more original, inventive, and meaningful life.
