如果我們生活的中心是友誼,而不是婚姻或親屬關係,我們的生活和社會會有甚麼不同嗎?

我們是這樣被教導的:家人和配偶是我們生命中最重要的關係。因此我們把所有時間、精力、資源、和情感,都優先投注在這些關係裡面。我們給予這些關係最多的關注,我們花大量的時間尋覓、栽培、維持這些關係,因為它們理論上是最重要的:我們相信這些關係可以滿足我們對於愛、關懷、親密、支持和歸屬感的所有需求。

但如果這一切不是真的?

在親人與伴侶以外,朋友其實在我們的生活中扮演著眾多不可或缺的角色:在我們沮喪時支持我們,在我們心碎時給我們擁抱,當我們被欺負時為我們出頭,在失落時給予鼓勵,當我們的伴侶離去,他們一直陪伴。社會假設我們只可以在家人、情人或伴侶身上尋求愛;但「愛」同樣可以來自於一個親密的擁抱、或者像家人一樣照顧你的好友、一個與你分享肉體親密的朋友或陌生人……

然而,我們似乎無法用語言來說明這些關係——在我們的文化中,「朋友」這個概念似乎永遠被置於我們的親密圈子的外層,其地位遠遠排在在我們的伴侶、孩子、家庭甚至工作之後。但所謂「朋友」,其實涵蓋了我們生命中絕大部分的重要連結。

我們誠意邀請大家參與這個對於「友情」的反思:當我們不再簡單地將朋友、情人或家人視為對立而且割裂的身分,我們或者就會開始意識到人際關係中複雜、豐富而且美麗的無限可能性。

感謝Aesop的慷慨支持,每位參加者將獲得天然純素面部護理小禮物一份,在創新世界之餘也不忘呵護自己。

What if friendships, not marriage or kinship, is at the center of life?

We have been living with the belief that our blood-relatives and our spouse are the most important relationships, and we organize our lives around the idea. Priorities are given to those relationships, of time, energy, resources, emotions, and care. Because they are supposed to be the ones that matter most: the relationships that supposedly provide for all our needs for love, care, support, and sense of belonging.

But what if that is not true. Friends play so many roles in our lives: they support us when we’re down, they hold us when our hearts get broken, they cheer us on when we get bullied or face what feel like insurmountable challenges, they are our companions in old age. And yet we don’t seem to have words to name these relationships – we seem to relegate our friends to the outer layer of our circle of intimacies, after our partner, children, and family.

We assume we seek romantic or monogamous love in a lover, but love can be found in someone who holds you, or a best friend that is like a wife / husband who takes care of your children and family, and physical intimacy can be found in a friend or a stranger…. Once we stop thinking of people simply as friends or lovers, we can begin to realize that there is so much richness in human relationships that we haven't even begun to discover and explore yet.

This workshop is inspired by and honours friendships. When one begins to think of friendship as all the undefined relationships that make up a large portion of human connections we have in our lives, we might begin to realize the potential of friends as the possibility of so much more in love.

Thanks to the kind support of Aesop to our program, participants of this session can bring home a special gift from Aesop, to nourish your body and mind!
