Sex vs Eros: Beyond the Physical into the Sacred ~ Oxford
Book NowWe live in a world consumed by sexual desire, yet few of us understand the deeper force that drives it. Is what we call “sexuality” really just a biological impulse, or is there something more profound beneath the surface? This talk explores the crucial distinction between sex—a physical act often ruled by unconscious drives—and eros—a vital, transformative energy that fuels not just attraction, but creativity, love, and spiritual awakening.
Most of us move through life propelled by this energy, yet we rarely pause to ask: Is it sex I seek, or is it eros? By drawing on ancient wisdom, Tantra, and psychology, we will illuminate how reclaiming eros can free us from compulsive desire, deepen our relationships, and reconnect us to the sacred pulse of life itself.

Meet the teachers
Edrisa began her spiritual journey in 2016, following an intuition that there is much more to life, and by curiously applying the Tantric and yogic teachings she quickly and profoundly transformed her life. After a year of intense daily practice, Edrisa began to feel a strong desire to help others discover their own spiritual revelations. She has organised spiritual theatre groups, and women’s circles that focused on awakening femininity and the art of initiatic dance. Edrisa is fascinated by the potential each one of us holds within, and she is keen to help others find the spiritual meaning in their life. She enjoys both stepping into the intensity of life and savouring it in all its nuances, as well as retreating into silence in nature, where she can contemplate the essence of creation in its utmost simplicity.
