Desire & Wanting

Wanting, motivation, attraction, direction and what draws us towards something. Articles in this library will explore these questions in lived experience rather than define the PentOme model.

What draws us into life

Desire includes attraction, creativity, sexuality and the pull toward possibilities. What draws you forward may differ from what you think you should want, what feels comfortable or what you actually do. That relationship is a useful place to begin.

Choose one question from your own life, then follow it into the related reading or its foundations. The Five help distinguish experience while the Core Principles explore relationship and change.
