Of flesh and spirit--harnessing the best of our humanity
to build growing, resilient relationships

Of flesh and spirit—harnessing the best of our humanity to build growing, resilient relationships
Friday, December 7th, 2018     6 to 9 pm     $40


Long-term romantic relationships are heavily romanticized in our culture.  Increasingly, we expect enormous personal satisfaction from them.  Yet the relationship skills we have generally been taught are rudimentary at best.  I find that there are aspects of human nature that create universal challenges in long-term relationships.  Paradoxically, it is in what is best about our human nature that we find the path to building genuine, resilient, and profoundly satisfying relationships.
 
Carolyn Mangelsdorf, PhD:  I came to Seattle for my internship in 1988 and fell in love with the water and the mountains.  I had to return to Minneapolis to finish collecting my dissertation data, after which I moved back to Seattle.  I was a lecturer in the Psychology Department at UW for 15 years and opened my private practice in 1993.   I find my work with couples and individuals enormously satisfying.  I have been in my relationship for 28 years, married for 24 years and I have three children, a 22 year old and two 20 year olds who keep me young by fluidly moving between two states: Teetering on the brink of disaster and Not currently teetering on the brink of disaster.
