Reach out of space.

Welcome back to another episode of Space. Welcome back to another episode of Rational Faith Podcast.

I'm your host, Paul Barker, and today we are joined by Dr. Jennifer Finlayson Fife

and also one of our permabloggers Laura Armstrong and welcome both.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Before we get started we we're going to call Dr. Jennifer Finlaysen Fife just Jennifer so I don't

lose my breath every time I want to ask you a question but she has a conference coming up and why don't you go ahead and tell our audience of I think we've grown to 20 listeners now just kidding

But go ahead and tell everybody what your conference is about.

Sure, I'm going to be in Manhattan on the 14th,

I guess about 10 or 11 days from now.

Doing two seminars or workshops, one in the morning, one Saturday morning

is for men for LDS women and I'll be talking about issues

on desire, really the art of the art of desire is probably the best title for the work

and talking about elements in our culture that are suppressing or shaming of desire and how to develop more awareness of yourself

and cultivate more of a relationship to your own sensual and sexual self.

And the parts of our theology that both support that and even see it as good and important.

And then in the evening I'll be doing a similar length workshop for couples

and looking at the kinds of dynamics that can interfere with desire and long-term relationships

and what couples can do to see their own participation in the problem and to function differently.

Or better.

That sounds super interesting.
