EROS & THANATOS
An exquisite philosophical and experiential salon Series with Dr. Denisa Rensen
Join us for a sophisticated exploration into the dynamic interplay of Eros and Thanatos - the dual forces that shape our health & longevity, sex & love and foresight & existential risk.
We will delve into Eros in all its dimensions, and contrast its life-affirming nature with the deceptive allure of pseudo-eros and the profound, existential nuances of Thanatos.

“Two primal forces shape our very existence - EROS & THANATOS.
EROS, the life instinct, a driver of bliss, goes beyond mere romantic love. It’s the pull towards creation, evolution, and deep connection - an existential ignition fueling our journey.
EROS is essentially our intelligence in love, in freedom.
THANATOS, often seen as the shadow of decay, is our natural inclination towards endings, a death instinct. Yet, it’s also a poignant response to our deepest pain, offering paths to either freedom or self-destruction.
THANATOS is essentially our intelligence in pain, in fear.
These forces are not just abstract concepts but are deeply intertwined with our health, longevity, and the ways we express love and make love. They guide our personal paths day to day, affect deeply how we make important life decisions, and illuminate the nature of the existential risks and potential futures ahead.”
