Esther Perel in conversation with Dumbo Feather

It's the brilliant, joyful and wise Esther Perel!
Esther is the foremost expert on human relationships and sexuality right now on the planet, and author of the New York Times bestseller Mating in Captivity, which shook the ground beneath us with the concept of erotic intelligence.
Esther joined us in Melbourne in November to launch her new game, "Where Should we Begin". She spoke with Dumbo Feather editor-in-chief, Berry Liberman.

Such a brilliant woman, who articulates the human experience with grace and eloquence. She has captured the essence of what brings meaning to life...and shows us how to do it. Thank you, Esther, for being a role model to humanity. I hope everyone desires to emulate your greatness.

This interviewer was the best. She followed her intuition and enjoyed it, didn't feel like she was under pressure to ask the right questions or anything! Esther is brilliant as always.

[@anaenavarro2731]

The more she talks, the more beautiful she becomes. Since 2018, she has become younger and smarter, and my go-to person to align my brain. Even though we've never met, she became a therapist and friend. ❤ love love love her.

[@magichappenswithyou]

Esther has an amazing ability to dissect each concept in such an explicitly cross-culturally manner that just makes total sense. Such conversations ought to happen more often. Her game is a prime example of achieving this purpose. Thank you, Esther!

[@YuyiLeal]

Very good comment! 🙏

[@lillianseverinsen5364]

Stunning, wholesome, visionary, heartfelt, compassionate--absolutely brilliant women leading the audience! I am forever changed for the better!

[@andrearenee7845]

😇🥰 Thank you so very much. Especially talking about the Pandemic/Change... Cause people are NOT talking about this, and it's vital.

[@jendjula6824]

What a great conversation. Both Berry and Esther are epic in the way they manoeuvre into all the right places. What a joy.

[@ultravioletmami]

I just have to say after finishing the whole thing. All I could think of was how wholesome it was and how it became a dialogue between everyone. Community is so important in an individualistic culture🫶🏽

[@vickilikoudis3499]

Great to have been there and now to see it on you tube. A unique, intimate conversation beautifully delivered by Berry and Esther. Love

[@ellenbruckermarshall4179]

Esther is brilliant, prescient, and ever curious about polarization. The pace of change changes us.

[@Creation-fx4nf]

Beautiful conversation! Loved the question about staying spacious and generous when the world needs it most. Thank you.

[@beatrixsullivan7086]

"The lives of women won't change until the life of man changes." So profound. Thank you.

MAN IN POWER

[@AnnaYelland]

Love these women. Great to hear a broader community-based perspective instead of just romantic relationship advice.

[@silvief1]

Such a beautiful conversation

[@aegliv1589]

Excellent views❤

[@smieke]

I need a transcript! 🤓🥰

[@radlink14]

Does anyone understand the final statement from Esther about the taste and voila? I don't understand at all her closing statement.

[@martylawrence9089]

There is beauty inside and outside here🙏

[@youriaa9930]

loooove this :)

[@agneag]

I wonder often about different culture I think America specifically is very different in many things they do - even relationships and it is talked about as default

[@laurie7746]

Esther is brilliant as always..... the interviewer fails dismally to understand 90% of what she says and thus kills so much content before it's fully expressed... such a pity

[@elisamarte9410]

Agreed

[@timm.8729]

Wasn't my impression, I actually liked the flow of the conversation.

[@dariaelbadewi]

I found this to be one of the few interviews where the interviewer interacts, actively listens, reflectively responds most of the time and allows the conversation to flow naturally. So confused by this comment

[@marleenhamann6608]

Also don’t relate to your comment, Laurie! I have the impression that Ester feels understood and plays with the flow, as well.

[@Rosewhisperer]

Agree. Berri lacks active listening skills.

[@light5634]

Amazing! How are the cards called and where can we get them?

[@smallgiantsacademy]

Head to Esther's website over here. You'll love the game and the insightful conversations that it ignites! game.estherperel.com/en-au

[@harmonyjorden2218]

I want to be Esther Perel's friend 🥺

[@isabelledeschamps1725]

at some point when she says it's actually 'useless' makes it a bit pessimistic on how to get away from crises in relationships

[@acmb6763]

You helped Ukrainians ❤️❤️❤️❤️ that’s so beautiful ❤️

[@SarahRichardson-fc1pq]

The power of Triangle with God as the appex is the only way to have a strong marriage. Balance.

[@SarahRichardson-fc1pq]

I think we gilgoul together to repair or repent from previous life. So once that repair by suffering or love can come to an end and when reporations or chance for repentance of soul finish then the relationship is ended. No repairs.available.

[@SarahRichardson-fc1pq]

Are you willing to get over 7 yr itch and then 27 years of responsibility.
