Did you know that the first three years after the birth of a first child are crucial to a couple’s overall happiness? Join Esther Perel–a practicing psychotherapist and expert on relationships and sexuality whose TED Talks have attracted millions of viewers on YouTube–for her first New York workshop for parents on Tuesday, January 19 at 6:30pm. It will be an intimate night of conversation, truths, and and tools to help get your sex life back on track and stay connected to your partner while raising children.

You’ll also be learning for a great cause–all proceeds from the event will be donated to the New York-based nonprofit Sanctuary for Families, which provides help and support to victims of domestic violence.
