POLYAMORY: Married and Dating – May This Show Bring More Love to the Better Worlds We Desire

While living here in the Portland area, I’ve finally had a chance to watch the two full seasons of Polyamory: Married and Dating, the show that brings the spotlight on three polyamorous families and their beautiful, adventurous, explorative, and sometimes challenging lives.

It’s been a real pleasure to watch the show in the company of my housemates, who are also involved in the local sex-positive culture. We’ve had time to compare notes, discuss, and reflect on how the experiences of these models compare to the experiences of each of our lives. What kind of dynamics are likely to occur when one engages in styles of love that are beyond binaries, that are more expansive in the ways they engage with inclusiveness in our amorous lives?

Personally, I’ve enjoyed many aspects of this series, in both seasons. Including the settings in two areas of Southern California where I’ve lived very significant chapters of my life. Riverside, where I did my graduate studies in the 1980s at UCR, while i held the job of teaching basic Italian that one of the Season #1 protagonists also holds (coincidence?!) And San Diego, where in the 1990s I actively participated in the Bisexual Forum founded by two avatars of bisexuality, Fritz Klein and Regina Reinhardt. In my experience, San Diego is a city of community, cafe life, holistic health, and warm jacuzzis where people become soft, mellow and amorous as to almost seem to melt into one another.

I’m not at all surprised that it’s been home to the four people in the quad whose interlocking lives are at the center of the show’s narrative. I also like the sense of expanded tribe that emanates from this narrative, especially in Season # 2, where one can also observe characters evolve and even switch roles at times. It’s amazing how places, locations, and one’s experiences in them, are powerful in shaping the narratives of our lives. And in creating legacies, traditions, seeds that eventually evolve, have a life of their own, and expand. West Hollywood is the setting for the Season # 2 triad, and it’s also well rendered as an ecosystem that really holds the characters. I do realize that any reality show, when well done, is also, to some extent, fictionalized. And yet, I feel very strongly that there is authenticity in the narratives, settings, and characters. I feel that people have really put themselves on the line to be who they are, at least to the extent that that’s possible when one invites a Hollywood camera into one’s private life.

One aspect I’ve really appreciated in the show’s structure is the quick asides that interrupt the narrative sequence to help viewers pry into the inner life of each character. What is this person feeling at this moment? What desire, anxiety, motivation, concern is motivating their action? How is their mind, their heart responding to the reality they are experiencing at this time. These asides are quick enough that one returns easily to the narrative. And they are also poignant enough that they provide, with the insights into the characters, also a beautiful way to get a sense of the philosophical gist of polyamory, of what reflections, principles, and intellectual awareness characterize this lifestyle and the communities where it is practiced. The decision to use asides this way has a long tradition in literature, especially in the English language, where of course it was widely used by the Bard, another voice whose tones resonate strongly with sexual fluidity and amorous inclusiveness alike.

Another aspect I’ve appreciated is the integration of sensual, erotic, and sexual scenes into the overarching narrative. Yes. That’s the way life is, right? “Life” is not divided in “genres” (as in erotica vs fiction), as some entertainment production systems would have us believe. “Life,” real life I mean, is actually one integrated narrative. There our minds, our hearts, our yonis, our lingams, and all the different symbiotic parts that make up our beings speak their truth, and manifest the reality we co-create with others. So, yes, I do appreciate that in this show we are taken into the bedrooms, the jacuzzis, the retreats, the play parties where people who love each other experience amorous existence. And where, from this experience they evolve and transform as partners in their relational lives.

This was exactly one of my goals when told the story of a very significant period in my life, especially my San Diego years, in the 1990s. I wanted the intellectual, the emotional, and the erotic aspects of my experience at that time to be synergized into one narrative. it was a way to offer a story that made sense and was beautiful and empowering to those wishing to be brave enough to read and be inspired. This memoir, Eros, was a Lambda finalist in 2006, when fist published with the subtitle A Journey of Multiple Loves. A new edition is now in the works, in both English and Italian, with the new subtitle, The Wisdom of Love. There I’ve fast forwarded to 2020 to really celebrate more fully the experiences in my life that make it part of the communities where amorous inclusiveness and sexual fluidity are practiced. Yes, love is good for you when practiced as an art, and the more you practice the more you learn about it and can share with others.

And this can happen over the arch of one’s entire life! One thing I wish to see more of when Polyamory or other reality shows of this kind resume, is a wider diversity in the age of the story’s protagonists. What about sexy grandmothers? Perhaps that’s another taboo to break up?

Here I really want to congratulate the brave director and the whole very brave and generous cast for this gift to the world. A gift that empowers people to practice love more expansively and evolve as their ability to generate this energy and channel it also expands. I do wish for a world where these gifts are appreciated and where they do their job of opening up options for others. I feel happy and proud of my part in co-creating this world with my own small contributions. And I wish everyone in the show a beautiful future of many decades where the magic of love manifests in many forms to bring health, happiness, and abundance to their lives.

Thanks Michael McClure​, KamalaDevi McClure​, Reclaiming Walker O’Rourke​, Roxanne DePalma​, Rachel Rickards​, and many others. May your generosity to the better world we all want and imagine be rewarded. You are wonderful and i love you!

The Resilience of Love: A Crisis with Symbiotic Opportunities – An Online Project-Journey

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:

  • An introduction with an invitation to be part of this initiative.
  • A narrative sharing my own emotions and perspectives.
  • A message of peace, as a way envision opportunities in this crisis.
  • An invitation to participate in the evolving program and project The Resilience of Love.

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!

Dear friends from social media families and tribes.

I have a beautiful announcement that I feel inspired to share.

The School of Ecosexual Love offers alchemic journeys for those who wish to support and participate in sacred spaces where the energy of ecosexual love can expand and thrive, and where we share the earth so that she’ll keep us well and in good spirits.

This is so aligned with Gaian values that I feel strongly about sharing it here.

Thank you sisters and brothers for allowing me to do it.

I will share a trailer, a video, and some links.

Our offers are fun and educational. For 2020 we are in the Rome area in a magical exclusive location. Dates to be saved in July: 3-5 for Alchemy (intro path), and 5-11 July for Symbiosis (advanced path).

We are a management team that highly appreciates your values, and we hope to fertilize each other with our respective energies!

Curious? Here’s a trailer to visualize the atmosphere. https://vimeo.com/380809058

Here’s a link to the sign-up and info pages: https://serenagaia.org/calendar/

I’d like to add a few words about current needs of our groups. These are in fact some of the best opportunities for qualified interested readers.

Current needs:

2 priestesses or priests, possibly with experience in decorating, caring for and supporting temple spaces for tantric events.

1 or 2 people with linguistic talents and consecutive translation experience, Italian-English, Italian-French / Spanish, so we can welcome people with different native languages.

I will be super happy to hear from you.

To complete my announcement, I’d like to also remind you that, for those who want to participate without team responsibilities, early bird registration is open for the whole month of people in love (February), with the intro course for only Eu 127 (plus food and accommodation to be paid on arrival).

Take advantage now if it inspires you. Thank you!

💚💜💚💜💚

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!

The Symbiosis of Ecosexual Love, Rome, August 30-September 5, 2020 – An Alchemic Journey

Welcome to the Symbiosis of Eco-Sexual Love, an Alchemic Journey.

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.

 

 

 

Are you considering our proposal? The value of the course is € 397. Our early bird offer is open. An in depth course for a full week now at only € 247! And our gratitude for joining in the core group.

Bank transfer to Serena Anderlini – IBAN: DE97 7001 1110 6052 5144 00 – BIC/SWIFT DEKTDE7GXXX – Adddress: Handelsbank, Elsenheimer Str. 41, Munchen 80687 Germany.

Refunds?  Until July 28, 100 percent guaranteed. After that date: please ask us and we’ll do our best. Thanks!

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.

TENTATIVE PROGRAM OF BETA RUN

Sunday August 30th:

Afternoon: Opening Circle

Reading, The Alchemy of Ecosexual Love, “Introduction and Transmission 1.”

What is this Alchemy? How can we go deeper into it? What themes does it introduce us? How are these themes related? In this way do the elements of the Alchemy of Ecosexual Love integrate into Gaia’s evolutionary symbiosis?

Evening:

The Wheel of Consent: How to live a life of agreement and negotiation (from the research of Betty Martin)

Monday August 31st:

Morning: Consent According to Gaia

What happens when the Earth becomes the companion that we all already share anyway? How does Gaia tell us, or does Gaia say no? How can we question it, listen to it? What awareness does this bring us with respect to our relational morphogenetic fields?

“Initiations, Transmission 2”

Why are initiations important? What kind of awareness can we derive from it? How do they help us connect with our inner landscape, with that of and of other people, forms of life, biospheres, entities?

Thursday September 3rd:

Mornning: “Romance, Sexuality, and Exclusivity, Transmission 5”

How are these elements of love connected in the inner landscape of each of us? How did these connections occur? Do we need these connection modes? Do they help us? We like them? How else could these elements connect? How can we deprogram the ways that we don’t need and create those that instead support us in generating health, abundance, and vitality in our ecosystems and those of people, life forms, and host spaces that we love?

Afternoon: Private sessions, leisure time at pool

Temple night

Friday September 4th:

Morning: “Compersion, the Spirit of Polyamory, Transmission 6”

What is compersion and how can we introduce this emotion into our inner landscape? What relationship can we establish between our compassion and that of the Earth, Gaia, the companion we already all share? How can compersion bring about our health and that of the beings we love?

Afternoon: Private sessions

Evening: Temple night

Saturday September 5th:

Integration and closing circle, goodbyes. What do i take home? What changed within me? What morphogenetic fields are active in me and around me?

The Wheel of Consent – Introduction – Seminar

What is the Wheel of Consent?                                                                                 

It’s a magic circle that empowers people to consciously choose and negotiate with others the kind of amorous behavior they like to experience in life.

The Wheel of Consent is a tool of sex positive education, which is appreciative of all styles of sexual and amorous expression, as long as they are agreed upon and negotiated.

Using the Wheel of Consent is a way to encourage conscious responsibility to negotiate scenarios all participants can be proud of, rather than operating based on “spontaneous” personal action that may result in guilt and shame.

The Wheel of Consent is a tool elaborated by Dr Betty Martin, based on her wide ranging experience as a facilitator originally from the Seattle area, Washington State, USA.

For a complete explanation by this wonderful expert, go to this video.

The Wheel of Consent is now widely adopted world wide in programs that emphasize consensual amorous expression and sex positive education, including ISTA and others.

The wheel of consent traces a circle around the expressions of love that are based in negotiation practices, it explains the different types of expressions and their dynamics, and also describes the ones that don t fall within the circle.

The Wheel is not designed to condemn or judge amorous experiences that happen outside the circle. These can be significant enough to help somebody decide they want to step into the circle and enjoy the respect and pride it affords one. The Wheel intends to support players to consciously opt for negotiated experiences that are sustainable and healthy and can nurture their body, mind and heart.

The Wheel is meant to apply primarily to amorous interactions that involve sentient beings capable of verbal expression, including humans.

The method of negotiating consent it outlines can successfully apply to all areas of human life, including those well beyond sexuality. For example, its use can impact energy fields like the ones that relate us to ourselves, to our relatives, friends, collaborators, communities, tribes, partners, children, pets and other animals. It can even have an effect on how we relate to plants, flower, woods, gardens, and other forms of life, as well as technological devices that function as synergistic system that support our lives, including computers, phones, tablets, cars, trains, airplanes, and many others.

The wheel also contemplates agreements that are negotiated via body language, and it also helps one consider the question of consent while interacting with ecosystems that embody non human forms of life, including animals, plants, bacteria, fungi, and natural elements.

Introductory seminars to this amazing tool of mutually agreed practices of love are offered in English, Italian, french, and Spanish. Seminars include connection rituals, theory, practice, sharing, release of emotions, and completion.

The Alchemy of Ecosexual Love – Rome, August 28-30, 2020 – Weekend Program

Welcome to The Alchemy of Ecosexual Love.Italiano

PROGRAM, August 28-30, 2020

  The programs’ elements include the following:

1. The Tao, a practical philosophy from the Orient that allows one to harmonize the elements of one’s personal ecosystem, treating one’s organs and other parts of the person like members of an expanded family, who function well when they get along.

  1. Tantra, another practical philosophy from the Orient that combines amorous expression with aspects of the sacred, sacred, allowing aural and energetic connections among people who wish to love each other with respect and reverence for their respective vital energies.
  2. Amorous inclusiveness, which allows one to expand one’s ability to love in a wider horizon, beyond exclusive and monogamous norms.
  3. Sexual fluidity, which allows one to perceive and appreciate amorous energies regardless of the gender of the person they emanate from.

The program’s experiential practices emphasize aspects of the practice of love as an art.

In particular, they are designed support participants in alchemically transforming the energy of fear into love. The opportunity of the program’s courses is to dissipate four major fears that are common obstacles to love.

These fears include:

• the fear of lovesickness
• the fear of being rejected
• the fear of being consumed with jealousy
• the fear of pleasure

The four elements energetically transform these fears into love when alchemically combined.

Once these energetic obstacles are removed, once the energy of fear is alchemically transformed into the energy of love, there are no reasons why a person cannot generate all the love he or she desires.

Participants in The Alchemy of Ecosexual Love are empowered to become sources of love in their own lives and communities.

Join us for this new and special edition, at Suncave Gardens, August 28-30, 2020.

Become and alchemist of ecosexual love!

The weekend offers great opportunities to practice these freedoms in a comfortable and safe environment. For the new forms of safety the pandemic has given us, see our Awareness, Safety, and Care Guidelines in Covid Times, where we introduce them with grace and courage.

WE WILL START ALL AT THE SAME TIME TO ESTABLISH A SAFE AND SACRED SPACE. ALL PROPOSED ACTIVITIES ARE JUST INVITATIONS TO PARTICIPATE.

Are your considering our proposal? The value of the course is € 197. Our early bird offer is open. An intensive course for a full weekend now at only € 127! And you get our gratitude for joining in the core group.

The Alchemy of Ecosexual Love – Rome, August 28-30, 2020 – Weekend Intensive – Welcome!

Welcome to The Alchemy of Ecosexual Love.Italiano

Do you feel a strong desire to love fearlessly and unconditionally? Do you wish to express yourselves in love with courage and freedom? If yes, then this alchemic cauldron is right for you.

The Alchemy of Ecosexual Love is an educational program in the arts of love designed for people who wish to love fearlessly and unconditionally.

We are breathing new life in it as we open up to new forms of health and happiness the experience of the pandemic has inspired.  Let our Covid-19 Awareness, Safety, and Care Guidelines gently usher you into what that is all about.

The Alchemy of Ecosexual Love combines practices, rituals and principles from Tao, Tantra, amorous inclusiveness, and sexual fluidity to empower students to reconnect with our natural gift to love.

When you overcome the main fears often associated with love, nothing can keep your loving nature from becoming fully expressed.  The program will take you on a path rich with rituals, principles, and practices from sex-positive education, an education that appreciates the value of amorous and sexual expression as a basis for human happiness, health, pleasure, joy, and well-being. In sex-positive education, a wide variety of ways to express one’s amorous and sexual energy are appreciated, provided these expressions take place among people who are fully consenting adults.

Sex-positive education encourages self-awareness, open communication, good listening, and complete respect for the wishes and non-wishes of others.

The practice of Ecosexual Love is based on the inner guidance that comes from the core of our “personal ecosystem,” and on our respect and devotion to the ecosystems that surround us, including natural, human, and technological ones.

For example, awareness of our fears puts us in touch with our inner vibrations. Addressing these insecurities is a way to raise our vibration above them and energetically dissipate external obstacles and critiques.

Respect for diversity is a way of being in awe of diversity itself, as expressed in nature and humankind. When we come from a place of love, we can appreciate the value of people’s choices even when they don’t correspond to ours.

For example, we can respect open relationships without practicing them, and learn to experience compersion as a way to overcome the fear of being consumed with jealousy.

The programs in The Alchemy of Ecosexual Love are designed to empower participants to evolve their talents in the arts of love and to become artists of Ecosexual Love.

This introductory training helps to create awareness of these eventual fears and identify your major energetic obstacles to love.

This bilingual edition is a space of encounter for many diverse people in both Italian and English (and other languages as necessary).  Our translation resources are abundant and we will make it easy for all participants.

We welcome diversity, appreciate consent, and support all forms of amorous expression. Join and together we will transform fear into love with the Alchemy of EcosexualLove.

You’ll be glad you did. Thank you!

L’Alchimia dell’Amore Ecosessuale – Roma, 28-30 agosto, 2020 – Programma del Weekend

Benvenuti/e all’ Alchimia dell’amore ecosessuale.

 PROGRAMMA, 28-30 agosto, 2020

Gli elementi del programma includono quanto segue:

1. Il Tao, una pratica filosofica che proviene dall’Oriente, la quale ci  permette di armonizzare gli elementi del nostro ecosistema personale, trattando i nostri organi e le altre parti della nostra persona come membri di una famiglia allargata, che funzionano bene quando vanno d’accordo.

2. Tantra, un’altra filosofia praticata in Oriente che combina l’espressione amorosa con aspetti del sacro, permettendo connessioni aurali ed energetiche tra le persone che desiderano amarsi l’un l’altro con rispetto e riverenza per le rispettive energie vitali.

3. L’inclusività amorosa, che permette di espandere la propria capacità di amare in un orizzonte più ampio, al di là delle norme esclusive e monogamiche.

4. La fluidità sessuale, che consente di percepire e apprezzare le energie amorose indipendentemente dalle circostanze, dal contesto, e dal sesso della persona da cui emanano.

Le pratiche esperienziali del programma enfatizzano aspetti della pratica dell’amore come arte.

In particolare, sono stati progettati per aiutare i e le partecipanti a trasformare alchemicamente l’energia della paura in amore. L’opportunità offerta dal programma è quella di dissipare quattro paure principali che sono ostacoli comuni all’amore.

Queste paure includono:

• la paura del mal d’amore
• la paura di essere rifuitat*
• la paura di consumarsi dalla gelosia
• la paura del piacere

I quattro elementi trasformano queste paure in amore quando sono alchemicamente combinati.

Una volta che questi ostacoli energetici vengono rimossi, una volta che l’energia della paura viene trasformata alchemicamente in energia d’amore, non ci sono ragioni per cui una persona non possa generare tutto l’amore che desidera.

I e le partecipanti all’Alchimia dell’amore ecosessuale hanno il potere di diventare fonti d’amore nelle loro vite e comunità.
