Desire in the Afternoon

A Private Conversation with Jordan Luke Collier

Oxford, Paris — Early Summer, 2026

I'm hosting a small series of private conversations on desire.

Four hours. You, me, and two other singular men. A hotel suite overlooking the city.

We'll talk about what desire does to us—where it leads us astray, what it reveals, and how to work with it instead of against it. Your personal pattern will come up. We'll see it together, and understand its chronology throughout your lifetime. You'll leave with a roadmap for harnessing more inner fire. We’ll transmute shame into love.

This is a chance to speak candidly, and with warmth, about the creativity, the aliveness, you’ve been keeping in the closet.

One afternoon. Four hours. Three men maximum.

Who This is For

Men who've been reading my work and want this conversation.

You're not here for trouble-shooting tactics with this one girl. You're looking for a different quality of relating to your desire over the long-term—one that sees desire creatively rather than mechanistically, that doesn’t reduce it to an ache to medicate or an issue to solve.

Your pattern will be addressed. You'll get feedback and a clear route forward; an a-ha or two. But you're here because this is a conversation you can’t have anywhere else.

About Jordan

I've spent 14 years working with men on attraction, intimacy, and the poetic quality beneath—first as creative partner of Ars Amorata alongside Zan Perrion, now through my independent frameworks.

I co-run The Amorati Guild, a year-long program for men committed to this work. These afternoon conversations serve two purposes: they help us assess whether deeper work (Guild or Intensive) makes sense, and they offer something Guild members would pay for separately—four hours of direct, embodied attention in an intimate setting.

I live nomadically. These sessions happen in cities where I'm already writing and working. I move frequently. This might be your only window.

Book Your Seat

Come, sneak out of what you should be doing one afternoon. And explore something far more crucial.

Three seats available per session.

FAQ

+ What happens in the room?

An open conversation. I trust our curiosity will lead us where we need to go, and I’ll guide the group skillfully to the crucial, untouched places in you.

I'll share prep materials beforehand. You’ll get my take on your questions, your patterns will emerge, and more besides.

+ Why desire?

In all my work, desire is the connective tissue. The force that fills us with life, but the agony that fences us in. In desire, we either lose ourselves or live triumphantly. It’s where art comes from. Where suffering comes from. Desire is the scarlet thread, that can lead us to perdition or lead us to God.

In twenty years of seeking, I’ve found that no other type of breakthrough—no other path of self-development—gives a man such joyous and full-blooded impact, as a good relationship to one’s physical desire.

+ Is this coaching?

Desire in the Afternoon is a philosophical and psychospiritual conversation about desire—how it works in you, how it's been woven through your life, and how to transmute the shame we attribute it into creative power. Your personal work, and we will go there, is downstream from the larger inquiry.

Yes, there will be feedback. Yes, there can be practices. But when you align with a true and generous view on a topic, you’ll start to find your own way home.

+ What if I'm not ready for the Guild?

This session is valuable on its own. Some men use it as a gateway to the Guild. Others are already Guild members who come for a slice of in-person, direct work, beyond what’s provided in the year-round container. Some come for the afternoon and continue independently. All paths work.

+ What if I can't make these dates?

I might not be back to your continent for a year. Or longer. If the current dates don’t work, you'll need to wait for the next cycle—or consider the 3-day Intensive instead.
