I was asked to be an early reviewer for this course. I learned that sex, our sexual experience, is not a singular event, arriving, lingering for some period of time and then over. Our sexual life is always with us, via thoughts, smells, dreams, imagination, touch, sights and other senses. What has changed for me is increased awareness of the notion of the erotic. It is a liberating and expansive notion allowing all manner of pleasures into my daily life. I found this course, with its' focus on enhanced communication and deepening self-awareness, incredibly valuable as a 77 year old women, happily married to my wife for 32 years and knowledgeable about interpersonal communication. It is a rare combination of experiential learning and profound wisdom.
Bringing Desire Back helped provide us the framework to facilitate a much-needed, ongoing conversation around our issues and hangups, as well as the validation that those issues and hangups are NORMAL. The course was not an overnight fix obviously, and I'm glad we didn't rush through it. There were some tears, dare I say a breakthrough or two, and definitely progress. One small thing that is changing for us because of this course is the diminishment of shame and awkwardness around sex, and that's not a small thing after all. What more could we ask. Thank you Esther, feeling grateful.
This course allowed me to take down barriers, Esther allows you to see that your sexual relationship, and your relationship to sex are just a product of who you are - thus allowing you to choose what you actually want. Through a well crafted content, this course has helped me untangle some misunderstandings I had accumulated. It's allowed me to reconnect with myself to feel empowered, but also in my relationship to open up doors, that were actually not shut, but that I didn't even know could exist.
I've been following Esther for years and have seen her speak at psychology conferences, always in a clear, direct manner, with the perfect blend of wisdom and a touch of humour. This course does not disappoint. In this fast-paced, automatic world where everything is immediate, desire and eroticism have a different rhythm. Connecting with oneself is fundamental to connecting with another, without rush, immediacy, and certainly not on autopilot. This course mande me reflect and look at desire through a different lens, a trip inside oneself and an invitation to use our imagination and bring our senses back to life. Each video is excellent, and the way the content is translated into concrete exercises is very valuable. The workbook is particularly helpful as it provides a summary of what Esther talks about, making it easy to follow the instructions. You can always re watch the videos if you missed something or clarify what you learned. I take away many learnings, but the one that has resonated with me the most is about reconnecting with my senses, imagination and the playfulness and being opened and willing to see what happens when we stay 3 minutes more instead of shutting down. Thank you Esther Perel and her team, your work helps so many and what a wonderful gift to be able to take these courses and learn from you.
In my eight year relationship with my husband we have continued to navigate the impacts of the pandemic, career growth and loss, moving and adoption on our desire. This course made me feel grounded in my ability to reach across the divide and provided tools and framework to hold steady as we rock our way through the sometimes stormy seas of arousal.
The courses inside The Desire Bundle are composed of a collection of pre-recorded videos from Esther and include a downloadable workbook. She will not be providing real-time therapy or feedback to course participants.
A relationship is made up of the people within it. When one of those people changes, the dynamic of the relationship also changes. If your partner is unwilling or unable to join you in learning about desire and eroticism, you will still benefit from learning this material on your own.
Bringing Desire Back is for individuals in relationships and romantic partners experiencing erotic blocks, lack of desire or desire discrepancies, or challenges in sexual communication who want to remove erotic blocks and reignite desire.Â
‍Playing with Desire is for individuals in relationships and romantic partners seeking to tap into new erotic possibilities and bring more aliveness, vitality, and spontaneity into the relationship.Â
Both courses are designed for people in relationships, though they can be taken with or without a partner.
For the most comprehensive resource, to help spark desire and reignite passionate play, we recommend enrolling in both.
Your purchase of The Desire Bundle includes access to both Bringing Desire Back and Playing with Desire for both you and your partner. We invite you to watch the videos in both courses together and share the log-in credentials, if necessary. We are not able to provide a separate log-in. If your partner requires access in a separate account, please have them purchase the bundle.
As excited as we are to share The Desire Bundle with you, we believe the materials inside Rekindling Desire are more than enough to help you reignite desire and tap into new erotic possibilities. If you’re interested in learning more about desire and eroticism, we invite you to revisit the materials inside Rekindling Desire rather than purchasing this new two-course bundle. Click here to log in to your account and access those materials now.
You’ll always be welcome to take the second course when you’re ready; however, the bundle offer is only available when the courses are purchased together. If you’re committed to growth in your relationship in the field of eroticism and desire, the bundle offer is the best option.
When you purchase The Desire Bundle, you'll receive access to two courses: Bringing Desire Back and Playing with Desire. Both courses include a collection of pre-recorded videos along with a robust workbook. We recommend that you start with Bringing Desire Back: Plan a time to watch each module and complete the accompanying workbook pages before moving on to the next module. When you’ve completed the course, move on to Playing with Desire.
If you are completing the courses with a partner, we suggest watching the videos together and working through the exercises individually. After you have both completed the exercises, come back together to share your responses and have a conversation about your answers and relationship.
If you treat these courses as entertainment to be consumed, you may find them entertaining and pick up some new perspectives along the way. On the other hand, if you treat them as a guide for engaging in new behaviors, thoughts, and ideas, and you take the time to complete each exercise in the accompanying workbooks, it’s our hope that you’ll learn something truly new, deeply interesting, and incredibly valuable that will help you navigate relationships of all kinds for the rest of your life.
Whether you binge both courses, only complete one of them, work through all the exercises as an intensive study for date night, or stretch out the courses and exercises over weeks or months is up to you. Do what is best for you
The Desire Bundle is designed to help only those interested in reigniting desire and enhancing eroticism in their relationship. If you or your partner identify as asexual, know that asexuality is a legitimate sexual orientation; this lack of desire is not something to be overcome. However, it cannot be denied that one partner’s asexual identity can greatly impact a non-asexual partner. Though The Desire Bundle might help you navigate difficult conversations and bring new levity into your relationships, I invite you to instead consider working with a trained relational psychotherapist specializing in asexuality. They will be able to help you explore the many other arrangements that may be necessary for your unique situation.
While The Desire Bundle is absolutely appropriate and supportive as a supplemental aid, I invite you to work with a trained relational psychotherapist and your medical provider for personalized support. If you wish to expand and enhance your experience of eroticism in its many forms (including the non-sexual), this bundle will help you remove the shame and stigma that often blocks erotic satisfaction and invite more playfulness into your relationship. Though I briefly acknowledge the many medical issues that may negatively influence desire in these courses, The Desire Bundle is not designed to diagnose or treat medical conditions.
Though you would likely benefit tremendously from these courses, The Desire Bundle is designed for people in relationships. It can be taken with or without a partner.
Get both Bringing Desire Back and Playing with Desire and gain the skills to not only address desire discrepancies but also reignite desire and explore new erotic possibilities.
