Ecosexuality: An Introduction to Eco-Erotic Play

Eros is the most primal and transformative impulse in the biology of every creature. Flowers are the way plants make love. The next bird song you hear is probably one mate calling out for another, or even foreplay in the branches. And yet, we humans often suppress or forget our own genuine, raw, and untamed eroticism. 

Unapologetically connecting with the sensuality of nature can bring so much vibrancy, ecstasy, and expansiveness into our erotic expression. Thus, ecosexuality can liberate us from the narrow-minded, couple-centric, and performance-focused view of human sexuality promoted by mainstream Western media. It may also enhance our sense of wonder and enchantment in our relationship with the Earth itself! 

During this two hour workshop, you will learn more about ecosexuality and be guided through a gentle (and fully clothed!) eco-erotic play practice using breathwork, visualization, and self-touch, to bring you a deeper sense of wholeness and connection. 

Please bring an object from nature (flower, plant, rock, stick, feather, etc.) or a picture of a natural object or scene that is inspiring or pleasurable to you. Optionally, you may also plan to join the workshop from a private outdoor space. 

In this workshop, you’ll learn:

- What is eco-eroticism 

- How eco-eroticism can enliven your sex life

- A simple practice for self-connection, pleasure, and grounding 

Who is this workshop for?

People who have an affinity for the natural world, and who are interested in adventure, eroticism, and personal growth

People who are open to viewing sex and eroticism through a more enchanted lens than the narrow one presented by mainstream media!

Will this workshop be recorded?

Yes, but please plan to attend in real-time in order to get the most out of this workshop. The workshop will include some opportunities for participants to connect with one another. 

Individual participant shares will not be included in the recording to ensure the fullest self-expression and confidentiality of attendees.
