Vintage photos from the time of the Spanish flu, 1919-20.
These photos give me hope.
If it has passed then, this time too it will pass.
It can’t be as bad as we sometimes think. If we have faith in our self-healing abilities, we can make the best of this experience.

What is ecosexuality?
It’s the action of reconnecting with one’s natural ability to love beyond genders, numbers, sexual orientations, relationship status, origins, races, ages, abilities, species and even biological kingdoms, to embrace all life as a partner with equal rights.

What is safety and what does it look like in Covid times? How can we self-source the safety we desire to be caring and aware of ourselves and those around us? How can we share responsibilities for the community awareness we all desire? How can we converge this energy in the in-person events in which we choose to participate?
These questions are probably on your mind as we all open up to being part of events in-presence this summer.
At the School of Ecosexual Love we feel inspired to offer a perspective that we feel is both responsible and empowering, and includes a framework for thinking about them, a list of sources, and some specific guidelines.
We understand you are considering participating in one of our in-presence events in the 2020 summer. We kindly ask that you become familiar with our perspective and ask yourself how well you can align with it. Please feel free to respond and comment. Thank you!
Reflections
For those of us in The Resilience of Love, the online journey that started back in March, we have 
practiced sourcing happiness and health from within ourselves in many ways. These include the expanded Inner Smile, to cultivate our inner balance and well being, the Wheel of Consent, to become aware of our boundaries and of where we position ourselves in a given interpersonal exchange, and more. We’ve also become aware of how the more simple life required by a quarantine can have its own beauty and happiness, for ourselves, and for all forms of life that accompany us on this journey on planet Earth, including animals, plants, and other ecosystems that benefit from a cleaner environment.
As options for meeting in person with others become more open, and as we choose to respect required practices of public health, we may want to elaborate together a notion of safety that we can all consent to, and that involves practices in which we each take responsibility for ourselves and for those impacted by our behavior.
Rather than accepting the master narrative that outsources “safety” to a hypothetical vaccine and asserts this as the only way to restore the “normalcy” that has been, we propose to imagine a “new normalcy” where the source of safety is in in the empowered awareness that resides within each and everyone of us. This “new normal” can be co-created and, I dare say, can even be fun!
The “new normal” we propose here is a dynamic strategy to access the kind of self-sourced safety that comes from the eclectic perspective of #EcosexualLove. It navigates the explorable waters between the two main current thought collectives in relation to public and personal health: the allopathic collective, that interprets diseases as “enemies,” and the holistic collective, that interprets diseases as “messages” that call our attention to some need for change.
Sometimes these collectives are also envisioned as, the one made of supposedly powerful people who “conspire” to deceive common folks, and the one made of those who willingly listen to whistleblowers adept in theorizing what these conspiracies might be all about. While it’s important to be conscious observers willing to listen to a wide array of sources that can be contrasting with one another, especially when many unknowns are still in play, it is also known that excessive attention to “conspiracy theories” and to “conspiring” can produce worries and inner imbalances that are not always useful and can often be undesirable.
We propose a healthier and happier alternative: listening deeply to ourselves. We believe that, from within ourselves, we can summon the courage of sourcing the measure of “safety” we need to get together and trust one another. As a collective, we can become more aware of how we exist symbiotically in relation to each other. As we practice personal responsibility, we contribute to the sense of safety of others. This confidence and trust can generate the freedom we all need to source courage in these not quite post Covid times. It can converge health and happiness into the journey we will share at Suncave Garden.
Sourcing Safety
Where does safety reside? It’s an important question to address for anyone wishing to join an event in presence at this time when a significant pandemic has scoured the planet. Here are some of the healthy ways to position “safety” that we, at The School of Ecosexual Love, intend to propose.
Questions for you. How do these ways to self-sourced safety resonate with you? How many of them are you willing to practice? Do you feel inspired about them? Do you feel they align well enough with your philosophy and practices of health?
Addressing these questions well ahead of time offers everyone a chance to reflect on what we propose and evolve a deeper alignment and sense of trust in your own ability to self-source your own sense of safety and to care about that of others. Enjoy the empowerment this brings up!
Thank you!
Guidelines
The next in-person event we are co-creating is the Alchemy of Ecosexual Love, which will 
happen at Suncave Garden, August 28-30. The lush, fertile, nature of this garden is healthy and vibrant with fruiting plants, and water-based amenities like pool and jacuzzi. Our hosts, Leslie and Hoppy, are excited to be there for us and offer their Casa Vacanze home style hospitality. It will be a small event to have more space for everyone, with all activities in open-air spaces except for sleep time. The exceptional Italian style cooking of the house is based on locally grown products, with luscious meals and beverages offered in the décor of a blooming garden.
This seems to us an ideal place to practice self-sourced safety with awareness and care for others. The sources that empower groups safety are reflected in the following guidelines we propose for the event:
Finding a consensus on these guidelines will greatly empower your facilitation team and hosts to offer an ideal context where to open up to health and happiness in Covid times.

Note: The content of this article was designed in late June, 2020, by Dr. SerenaGaia, with contributions by Tanya Rozenthal and Adi Ananda. Its content is the basis for activating in-presence events for the 2020 summer with the School of Ecosexual Love.
The School of Ecosexual Love is a work-on-progress to which you’re invited to contribute. Are you wanting to expand and evolve your arts of love? This is a good place for you!
Welcome to our tentative description:
The School of Ecosexual Love is a school of love where life on Gaia in all its forms is the teacher, a teacher that inspires others to practice the arts of love in ways that are natural, ecological, sexy, amorous, diverse, and brave in envisioning new alignments between the health of the planet and the health of the world.
The School of Ecosexual Love offers a variety of educational journeys, including courses, retreats, workshops, and more. All journeys are opportunities for alchemic transformation and for evolution toward more symbiotic ways of being and relating. All offerings include practices that help participants maintain a positive energy field within and around themselves, thus enhancing the alignment of health and happiness in one’s personal and one’s ecosystemic realms.
Educational modalities include online, hybrid, and presential.
Existing courses in the curriculum now include:
—The Resilience of Love is an online journey that has been activated at the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic and is currently active, with two parallel editions and weekly appointments, Wednesdays 9-11 PM Central EU time in Italian, and Thursday 9-11 PM Central EU time in English.
—The Alchemy of Ecosexual Love is a presential introductory weekend that’s held on a yearly basis at Suncave Garden, a naturist retreat center in Cerveteri, about 30 kilometers from Rome, Italy. This retreat is now scheduled for August 28-30, 2020.
—The Symbiosis of Ecosexual Love is a presential advanced course, which will be launched soon, and could have a beta edition at Suncave Garden starting on August 31, 2020.
The following course could become part of this curriculum:
—The Humanities and Love, Part # 2, from 1500 to the present is a hybrid course that, in its original editions, was taught part presential and part online at the University of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez. It consists of nine one-hour lectures in English on world and planetary history, available online on the Serena Anderlini You Tube channel, and of a series of readings, visual presentations, and tests, available online in the LMS portal called Canvas by Instructure.
As a hybrid, the course was active until 2017, and it could be reactivated as an entirely online course. It could be of interest to universities and other institutions of higher learning open to teaching Western Civilization courses organized around the theme of love.
The School of Ecosexual Love operates under the aegis of the non-profit 3WayKiss. We are evolving and in particular, we are in the process of:
–Developing a full-fledged Mission and Vision for this school
–Connecting the school with other similar schools, academies, and universities
–Presenting its offerings more widely in venues open to its approaches
–Activating more courses
–Developing certificates and awards
–Recruiting and retaining interested collaborators, participants, and assistants
–Connecting w/ possible donors and funders
How does any and all of these areas inspire you? In what ways do you think you can participate and contribute? Please get in touch. We’d love to hear. Thank you!

The Resilience of Love: A Crisis with Symbiotic Opportunities
An online project-journey
Introductory Video/Article by
Dr. SerenaGaia, aka Serena Anderlini
Greetings, welcome everyone.
This video/article is for people interested in invoking the Resilience of Love while in this unprecedented perspective that we are experiencing.
This video/article includes:
When we consider the voice of Gaia, we can interpret this crisis as a message from the sovereign hostess of all forms of life, a message that comes to us humans in the form of a virus. This message now calls for more balance in the symbiosis between planet and world.
For those who don’t know me well, I am Dr. SerenaGaia, aka Serena Anderlini, and I will say that the alarm of the Covid-19 crisis caught me in a period when I was gradually relocating in Italy, and in particular in the beloved community of Damanhur, after about 30 years of research and professional life in academia, and in the areas of the arts of loving and healing, while I lived in various regions of the USA. That includes California, where I discovered Tantra, open relationships and holistic health, and Puerto Rico where I discovered my relationship with the sea, with hurricanes, with forces of nature, and with Gaia theory, from a supreme scientist of symbiosis, Dr. Lynn Margulis.
From my Puerto Rican home in Punta Arenas I observed the patience of nature for 20 years, and noticed that recently that patience has disappeared. From that time back in the 1990s when we missed the opportunity to handle climate change more responsibly with the Kyoto Protocol, nature, I’ve observed, has exerted abundant resilience while waiting for us to decide that we were going to change the course of our voyage on his earth, to correct our route. That resilience has now come to an end. “What does not happen in 30 years can happen in one day,” as they say.
When I became aware that something truly extraordinary was happening, I was visiting New York, en route between Puerto Rico, and Oregon, where two of my expanded families are located.
I experienced all kinds of responses: agitation, avoidance, conflict.
Then I started listening to, and reading a very wide range of sources.
I was reactive, in an emotional state that included anger, fear, pain. Pain for my first matria, Italy, for many loved ones forced to the hardships of lockdown, for many a form of imprisonment, especially when living in small city apartments.
Then I evolved admiration, appreciation, gratitude for the wisdom with which people of goodwill in Italy understood, helped each other, came together, achieved results in flattening the curve, and in many cases even managed to find the pleasant side, with synchronic singing from balconies across the courtyards, with a newfound calm, kindness, simplicity, solitude.
From afar, I came to admire this somewhat magical, somewhat ingenious country, capable of great improvisations, whose people, together, listened and managed to respond.
I made peace with the thing.
When did that happen for me?
Two sources in particular impressed me.
I listened to Prof Telmo Pievani, at the University of Padua, where he teaches science of evolution. In a video, he humbly explains that, as long as the Earth had many primeval forests where herds of free mammals assemble, viruses would happily and un-conspicuously stay there.
Then they decided to make a species leap, they mutated, and came for a visit where free mammals do gather today, that is in metropolitan areas, where we humans are found, we who, until recently, were free.
“The Anthropocene,” I thought. This international exhibition in Bologna is designed to help the public understand why in geology studies today the thesis that the Holocene has ended is gaining support. The Holocene is the era that began with the last Ice Age, about 12000 years ago. Another era has started, an era when the balance of life on our sovereign hostess the Earth, also known as Gaia, is so dominated by our human presence and its effects, that we humans have become a force more powerful than all the other forces combined. Hence, Anthropocene, the era of human beings, as it were.
I put these two messages together and I understood that we are the responsible ones, not everyone to the same extent of course, but certainly each one of us in some way.
I got it. “This time,” I said, “there is no ‘bad guy,’ there is no ‘plan,’ there is no government to bash, there is no conspiracy.”
Or, at least, if there were any, it would be beside the point.
This gave me peace, and I found the courage to face the situation.
I asked myself, how can my practice of eco-sexual love, my experience, my wisdom be useful in this context?
This is the motivation for my initiative, the Resilience of Love. If this is a crisis of imbalance in life’s symbiosis, what opportunities are present for us to change that imbalance into a new balance of mutual support?
My practices, research, knowledge, and acquired wisdoms have served me well. I want to make them available to others.
Here is how I see it right now:
There is the world, what we have created, what can be described as the manifestations of the Anthropocene. And, lo and behold, this world today has come to an almost complete standstill due to a virus. Oh wonder of wonders!
What is a virus?
It’s a very ancient form of “non-life,” it has no body, and biologists assure us that its existence is absolutely necessary for the symbiosis of the various forms of life that accompany us in our journey here in the world.
There is this world, and let’s say that it’s a bit sad today, with people who suffer, worry, get sick, die.
And then there is the planet, that is, there is life, there is nature, which at this moment is quite happy.
There are trees, which as we know now can message each other through their branches and roots. In the Amazon, which is the only primeval forest that still exists, the message has made the rounds among trees, “they are no longer cutting us. Yay!”
Hares have been photographed in the deserted parks of Milan.
Often when we talk about hares, our mind goes directly to the taste of an excellent stew, or spezzatino. Hares hide from us, they are afraid. And instead this time they took courage, “the park is empty here in Milan,” they said, “why not go there for a walk?”
Dolphins reappeared in the lagoon around Venice.
The skies, finally clean, are full of pure air.
And so on.
So what is this Gaia who sent us the virus trying to tell us?
In holistic health, we often interpret symptoms as messages.
For example, I get the flu and I have to stay in bed. Maybe a few days earlier I felt tired and didn’t pay attention to my body’s gentle message. So now the body has to raise its voice, I get fever, and I have to take a break.
Or, I have a stomachache, I haven’t digested well. The body speaks, again. It could be suggesting, “why don’t you fast for a day, that way you give your digestive system a break, and then I can function better for you.”
So this Covid-19 per se, together with the Covid-19 alarm that’s been generated, could be just a symptom from the live body of Gaia, which we may interpret as a message. A loud message. A message that scours the planet from end to end. Not a more subdued message that only impacts some areas, as in super hurricanes, earthquakes in non-seismic areas, and other similar effects.
“I’ve had a lot of patience with you, dear humans,” Gaia could be saying, “keeping my metabolism stable as much and as long as possible so that I can continue to host you all as I did before.”
“That was my resilience of love for you. Now I’ve come to an endpoint. I can’t take it any longer.”
“It is up to you now to practice the resilience of love that I have practiced waiting for you to decide and change your course.”
That’s what Gaia could be saying.
I hear life calling upon non-life to save itself from us.
How did we let that happen?
Can we be more considerate of how we treat our partners?
Do we need a virus to behave as if our world depended on the health of this planet?
From Gaia’s scream, a new awareness can evolve and guide us as we reinvent the world to align with the happiness of the entire planet.
It’s up to us now to change the shape of our presence in the symbiotic system of life that hosts us, from what looks like a powerful tree overseeing the forest when just a single blow can cut it off, to that of a rhizome that’s more resilient because it grows horizontally, it expands sideways where it finds space to weave out its similar collaborative elements.
This is a lesson I get from the philosopher, Gilles Deleuze.
And this, behold, this is what I’d like to call the Resilience of Love.
“Good.” You might say. “And how can we practice it?”
The challenge is now finding ways to help ourselves navigate the crisis while together we also make an effort to change our route well enough for the Anthropocene to continue and be a beautiful time to be alive in.
We don’t have many of the answers of course. All these responses will have to come from the flow of events that evolves.
What can we do together at this time in the digital rooms where we can meet safely while staying in place?
A lot! We can transform the crisis into an opportunity for each one of us to:
Get to better know and love the ecosystem called “thyself.”
Get everyone to create and support a positive energy field in and around themselves.
In these ways, each person can contribute to their physical, emotional and energetic health, and to that of the people, families, tribes, communities, countries they love.
Let’s listen to Gaia and appreciate her message. The Resilience of Love lies in that active listening. The shared vision is co-creating the more symbiotic life that Gaia is requesting, a vision that can generate a new healthy and happy balance between the planet and the world. You can make a difference, and that difference can be key to your happiness and health.
We have weekly online appointments on Thursdays at 9-11 pm Central European Time (12 noon PST, 3 pm EST)
For all the details of the initiative, and to be able to join the ONLINE meetings, go to the Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/696939774407362/
A screen will appear at the end of this video with all necessary information to join the Facebook event.
To access the link to the Zoom room, go to the Facebook event where it will be posted a little while before start up time.
Each appointment will be unique, and together we will work a progression toward deeper understanding and connectedness. The series will hold a combination of practices in the arts of healing and loving. It will expand our awareness of the symbiotic existence each one of us is part of, and its alchemies. These arts will apply to oneself, to one’s loved ones, and to all co-existing forms of life, ecosystems, and communities of beings that one is symbiotically related to.
Each meeting will invite active participation in various forms, including active listening, sharing in large and small groups, breathing, physical activity, movement, inner work, and a wide range of interactive and/or solo practices that will be proposed week by week as wishes manifest and momentum evolves.
A store of videos will gradually be created and made available in a dedicated YouTube playlist, inviting participants to practice, consider joining, and catch up on their own.
We envision co-creating a wide-ranging energy field of trust, support, and sharing.
Space is limited, self-proposing guests are welcome, opportunities to assist and collaborate are abundant. We recommend getting started as soon as possible, being present to as many weekly appointments as possible, and being open to going more deeply as a group moves along.
I send you a warm greeting until next Thursday, and I hope with this to have offered you something useful.
Please feel free to post your questions. We will address them to the extent that we can.
Thank you!

As Easter is with us, a prayer of resurrection is jelling in my heart. It’s a prayer of ecosexual love from humankind to Gaia.
Gaia, hostess of all life, sovereign of the only hospitable symbiotic planet we’ve found so far, partner we already always share with all other forms of life, may this day of resurrection be the one when you feel heard by us.
Your voice scours our world thru the passage of this virus which keeps us apart from many of our loved ones.
It s like the scream of a partner whose warnings have been ignored long enough.
It s your voice, Gaia, expressing your infinite ecosexual love for all life.
May this scream be loud enough to shake us into alignment with the forces that inspire you.
May it bring our awareness on how we have suffocated, imprisoned, maimed, desecrated our fellow travelers, be it animals, plants, soil, fellow humans, underworld, skies, rocks, waters, microbial life.
May this awareness pinch our numbness to the pain, grief, desperation we ve created around us, and on which we ve installed our world.
The planet s happiness is before our eyes, when dolphins swim in the lagoon of Venice, when the skies are clear is Los Angeles, when hares walk in Milan s parks, when trees rejoice as logging is paused in the forests they inhabit, when spring visits war fields paused by a ceasefire, when ducks take their brood for a walk on city’s riverbank.
This happiness now depends on the timeline of the virus.
Life is calling upon non-life to save itself from us.
How did we let that happen?
Can we be more considerate of how we treat our partners?
Do we need a virus to behave as if our world depended on the health of this planet?
From this scream, a new awareness has come to us.
May this awareness guide us as we reinvent the world to align with the happiness of the entire planet.
Happy Easter from Dr SerenaGaia, aka Serena Anderlini, happy Easter to all of us!
Dear friends from social media families and tribes.
I have a beautiful announcement that I feel inspired to share.

💚💜💚💜💚
I also wanted to share this important information with you.
The journeys of the School of Ecosexual Love integrate the values of expanding and sharing the energy of love with others, with ourselves, and with our hosting ecosystems, with a series of modalities that converge in creating sacredness, love and respect for nature and for our own nature, for our fluidity and inclusiveness.
They are offered in a programming spirit based on non-profit principles, that is dissemination, experiential education, sharing, and inclusion, as is appropriate for my “non-profit” called 3WayKiss.
At the School of Ecosexual Love we love beautiful and welcoming ecosystems. We appreciate the magic venues that host our groups in exclusive. And they reciprocate with beautiful gifts. Check out this video of the inner-cave jacuzzi our location has installed for the joy of its upcoming groups!

DESCRIPTION
The symbiosis of eco-sexual love is an advanced alchemical laboratory in which we deepen the foundations laid during the introductory weekend of the Alchemy of Ecosexual love.
Note: In this “Covid summer” of 2020, we have simply decided to be open to a possible beta run of it, to start right after the Alchemy weekend (Aug 28-30). For our health and happiness guidelines we refer to Awareness, Safety and Care in Covid Times. Thank you!
The elements of Tao, Tantra, amorous inclusiveness and sexual fluidity will be the basis for going deeply into the path that leads to the practice of love as an ecology of life traced by the voice of Gaia, the Earth or partner we all already always share.
When we interpret symbiosis as an evolutionary principle we realize how essential it is to practice sharing resources of love, and how much this symbiotic alchemy can enrich our existence with joy, vitality, and abundance.
This advanced alchemical laboratory will be organized around the six conversations with Gaia channeled by SerenaGaia through a connection trance with this mythological figure and Earth goddess. Gaia is also the name given to one of the most significant scientific theories of the paradigmatic shift we now face as we enter the age of Aquarius.
If we are ecosystems activated by symbiotic parts that collaborate, interconnected with the other ecosystems with whom we coexist, it follows that we are already always included in a relational system whose morphogenetic fields vibrate with the energies that we activate them with.
In the laboratory we will study these fields, activating them through our choral reading of the Conversations with Gaia and the practices related to each of the themes treated therein.
Every day we will face a conversation and the transmissions from Gaia that it will bring to us. We will comment, practice and allow these transmissions to sediment in our vibrational field. The magical context in which we will move will be the Suncave Gardens ecosystem, which will host us exclusively for the duration of the journey, including its verdant meadows, the suggestive caves (where we hope a tantric space with jacuzzi will be active), the tantric temple tent, the naturist pool, the loggia and dining space, the various accommodations and services, and so on.
Six transmissions for six days, from Sunday to Friday, closing on Saturday after lunch.
The entrance to the caves with the Jacuzzi inside.

The alchemical journey of each day will be integrated by the areas and activities dedicated to the Garden of Pleasures. There, in the afternoons, participants and our healers will offer a wide range of group and private sessions at special prices for the exclusive use of participants. Given the extreme opening of the moment when they go to practice, these sessions can open significant new paths in the lives of those who take advantage of them.
The naturist swimming pool will be available for those who want to enjoy it in their free hours. The evenings will be open to both guided and free practices that Gaia’s transmissions will inspire in us, in spaces designated as tantric temples. Click here for ACCOMMODATIONS AND BOOKINGS. Thank you!
This advanced course is available only to those who have already participated at least once in the intensive introductory weekend called Alchemy of Ecosexual Love.
A copy of the book Alchemies of Ecosexual Love will be offered as a tribute to participants. It contains the conversations channeled from Gaia, and ideas for activities with which to continue practicing and expanding your alchemical connections and your communities.

Even as American citizen, a few years ago SerenaGaia decided to try and recreate a base in our beautiful country. I recently visited her in Vidracco, in the Turin area, where she now lives. It’s the seat of Damanhur, a controversial eco village where she has been a guest, even though she’s not an integral part of the spiritual philosophical community called “the people of Damanhur.” An English couple was visiting, with their children, the underground temples that were built here. They invited us to a non-religious circle of celebrations and songs at their home. We entered their cozy bedroom, in the attic of a finely restored cottage they were renting through AirBnB. The floor is decorated with cushions, candles, inspirational books, and musical instruments. We are joined by few other friends. In the sacred circle that is created we all sing, pray, celebrate, and open our hearts and minds, as we connect to the cosmos. People pronounce words such as underground, nature, breath, a flapping of wings. When my turn to speak comes I feel quite high, full of love. I hear myself talk about how sensual it can be to walk and wander through hills and tree-lined ridges. While the shade becomes cooler and cooler, and a suave stream flows that gives life to sweet melodies. The image is that of soft open thighs where to penetrate to meet one’s pleasure.
I decide to share one of my experiences; a vision; a feeling. One day I almost cut half the tip of my finger. Without medications or bandages, I allowed nature to take its course. I was in the Canary Islands, in the middle of a rocky cove where overlapping geological layers were visible. I was amazed to notice how those piling up layers were incredibly similar to those I observed on the healing skin on my finger. For a moment I imagined myself being a tiny, invisible bacterium in my finger’s hollow. What appeared to me as immutable rock was only an insignificant moment in the course of a thousand grandiose mutations that the earth has lived in the past and will still live in the future. Perhaps that bacterium saw my finger and thought it had always been like that, just as I had forgotten that those rocks I saw were only a snapshot of a land that also changed, but with another rhythm. It grew and cracked, it collapsed, erupted, and became submerged, before humans even put a dent to it.
Who knows, perhaps even bacteria in our bowels wake up and wonder what life choices to make. Aren’t we simple bacteria in a plant’s reproductive system? Basically we are simply called to eat their juicy fruits so as to defecate their seeds at great distances. Eat, defecate, breathe, reproduce. Simple bacteria: this is how we look from the eyes of the organisms that host us. Probably one day a comet brought the first water to earth where bacteria used to live. The comet impregnated the earth with these seeds. Bacteria, the real aliens that speak to us from the stars in our guts, are nothing more than the oldest inhabitants of this planet. And they love us.
Perhaps with other visions, Eco-sexuality too 
speaks about this. It speaks of an ecological relationship with our own body, of sex-toys made from recyclable materials, of nature as an erogenous space where to make love, of dialogue and sharing in dual relationships, in threesomes, and in orgiastic situations. And SerenaGaia empowers those who decide to undertake a journey that leads to the awakening of one’s consciousness through the liberation of one’s body, in union with the planet and the cosmos. A real activist of sexual liberation.
She is involved in the organization of national events by the Italian Tantra family. She has recently returned from the Angsbacka Tantra Festival, 2019, which was held in Sweden. (Tantra, an ancient mystery discipline, is about opening one’s chakras in connection with another.) She participates in and holds Cuddle Parties, which got to Italy many years ago, at least in major cities. They empower people to open up to each other, based on rules that help one feel at ease. She participates in the ISTA, International School of Temple Arts. This organization “facilitates sexual healing and a healthy attitude towards sex” through mystery and shamanic rites that place men and women in a spiritual relationship with their own bodies. She attends swingers events, and other places where one can practice free sexual expression and naturism. She does love herself, her own body and is not the very least ashamed of it.
When we meet, which happens more and more frequently since this friendship was born, we continue to chat amiably as we did that first evening in Bagniaia. By now however, after having faced together our own fears and doubts about it, it can also happen that our chatter takes place while holding hands or huddled against each other, sometimes lying down on a meadow. When conditions allow it, or we are alone in private, we also spend time naked, which we love. We cuddle, while our hands caress the beauty of each other’s scars. Our skins and bacteria meet, our hormones and pheromones dance, the oxitocin [OXT] goes up, and, simply, we speak blissfully about ourselves, about Gaia, about the stars and the world to come, which we hope will be ever more open, welcoming and cuddly.
Thanks Gaia.

Cont’d from Ecosexuality 1/3 – Meeting Gaia
The Ecosex Manifesto bears the signatures of two American activists: the artist Elizabeth Stephens and her partner and wife Annie Sprinkle, a former sex worker and New York porn star. Celebrated in their awareness campaign with several colorful events, the movement basically aims at a radical change in perspectives for the paradigms that see us humans today in our relationship with Planet Earth: we basically consider ourselves its users, or, even worse, its owners. And what if instead of seeing Gaia as an object, we could see her, not just even as our mother, but rather as our lover?
To explain this, SerenaGaia talks about Metamours. Let’s say that I am in love with Michele and that Gina is in love with Michele too; then Gina and I would be metamours: we would love each by interposed person. If we love the same person, perhaps we have something in common, and maybe we could also love each other. But there is more. Gina might be able to give Michele something I can’t give him, and vice versa. If I really love Michele and I want what’s good for him, then I should be glad that Gina can take care of his happiness in areas where I cannot reach. This, if we accept polyamory, would make life more simple and would be good for all of us. Gina, Michele, and I would be united by an energy of love, with respect and attention for the others’ well being, that would bring us all together. And on this basis we could build a healthy and fuitful relationship. Gina and I could finally also get closer to each other, while we both taking care of Michele.
In this perspective then, we are all, to each other, metamours. If we imagine that Earth is our lover, we realize that no one can claim her all for themselves, and we become aware that we all already always share a partner we love and need. All of us human beings, plants, animals, spores: we all are co-lovers, all in love with Gaia herself. Among other things, as the Earth no longer is our mother, we also need to stop taking for granted that she will always reciprocate our love. Actually, like good and careful lovers, we should constantly take care of her, renew our promises and, at every moment, get her to feel the force of our love for her.
From Nature, our new partner, we can even learn a lot about love. The oxygen that leaves emanate goes into my nostrils, then passes to those of an insect, and then may return to the nostrils of my neighbor. The sun warms up everyone, without distinction: beautiful, ugly, agreeable, disagreeable. Trees and plants show their genitals gifting the world with colors, smells and beauty. A cat’s purr can heal one’s body: the cat enjoys, and their enjoyment emanates waves that harmonize our organs. To love, be loved, and to feel pleasure, to take care of oneself and of others, we discover, are not necessarily mutually exclusive things.
Another significant lesson comes, for example, 
from Bonobos. Based on their matriarchal structure, these primates have made sex a key to their social organization. They use it, with pleasure, and it serves also to heal and resolve conflicts. They practice with multiple partners, of their own gender and of other genders of opposite or same sex; with wide ranging erotic imagination and in a playful way. If we paid more attention to this ring in the chain of being, often considered less evolved, we could perhaps learn some good tricks about how to live in a less convoluted way.
Native Americans typically start their circles and ceremonies by celebrating “all our relationships.” We are connected to the heavens, the stars, the earth, to our ancestors, animals, plants, and all of this while we also give and receive. Mitakuye Oyasin (“everything is connected”) the Lakota Sioux people repeat like a mantra: this is their way of praying and giving thanks. Likewise, we could celebrate “all our lovers,” all our metamours, which in my case include my grandparents, whom I love and know that they love me in return. In the same way, I love plants and hills around me, my cells and my bacteria. These are all connected by a warm energetic wave of mutual love.
