Workshop # 3: Make Love the Ecology of Your Life

In this segment of the Alchemy of Ecosexual love participants have the opportunity to experience others as “metamours,” people who already always share a partner we love: the Earth.

Participants take turns in embodying three main roles: the giver (lover), the receiver (beloved), and the witness (also dubbed “moon,” or panderer, or hosting ecosystem).  Receivers set their boundaries for a session of loving touch. Agreed-upon body parts may include the head, face, shoulders, and upper torso.

The giver’s intent is offering pleasure and loving touch. The receiver’s intent is absorbing the loving energy and enjoying the pleasure. The witness’s intent is staying in balance with themselves and providing the safe space hospitable to, and conducive of love. Each participant embodies each role at least once. People are encouraged to imagine the witness as a beautiful ecosystem, a natural host/ess whose energy is conducive of love. At the end of each round, participants share about their experience.

The workshop addresses sexual fluidity and amorous inclusiveness, and helps people overcome the fears of pleasure and of jealousy.

Some of the questions include: How does it feel to be the compersive planet that hosts all of our loves and lives? As we witness the lovers, can we find it in our heart to experience their pleasure as our own?

Participants come away with an enhanced awareness of the connections between loving fluidly and inclusively and appreciating the spaces that host this love. Many report they enjoy the role of witness more than anticipated. People envision the Earth as a generous and compersive lover, and experience gratitude toward this shared partner.

The practice helps participants evolve a consciousness about the inclusive and fluid aspects of ecosexual love. It prepares participants for the wedding ceremony in which the hosting ecosystem is the bride. It provides a reference for those ready to make love the ecology of their lives.

Duration of Workshop: from a minimum of 90 minute and up to 2 hours

Space: An activity room with a wooden floor, comfortable mats, and mild temperature. A grassy garden on a quiet sunny day. A large tent or gazebo with a comfortable and soft floor.

Participants: from a minimum of 6 to a maximum of 40

Let’s make love the ecology of our lives!

Let’s practice ecosexual love!

Workshop # 2: Know and Love the Partner We All Share, the Earth

In this segment of the Alchemy of Ecosexual Love, participants will have the opportunity to reconnect their metabolism to the metabolism of the partner we all share: the Earth.

The practice includes a meditation organized around the connections between one’s inner and outer landscapes.  And a practice of styles of touch related to each of the five elements: earth, air, fire, water, and ether.

This workshop addresses inclusion and helps to overcome the fear of rejection.

Duration of Workshop: from a minimum of 90 minute and up to 2 hours

Space: An activity room with a wooden floor, comfortable mats, and mild temperature.  A grassy garden on a sunny day.  A large tent or gazebo with a comfortable and soft floor.

Participants: from a minimum of 6 to a maximum of 40

Let’s make love the ecology of our lives!

Let’s practice ecosexual love!

Workshop # 1: Know and Love the Ecosystem Called Thyself

In this segment of the Alchemy of Ecosexual Love participants have the opportunity to know and love themselves as ecosystem made of elements designed to collaborate symbiotically with one another.

The practice is based on principles from the Tao and includes various elements. It starts with the opening of energetic channels in the body’s back, front, and middle. The practice of interior smile connects the mind with one’s organs, sending them loving energies. This recycles negative emotions deposited therein in to positive emotions. The practice of the water wheel repositions the elements of fire and water within the person. The practice of tapping activates the mind and the brain’s glands. These practices transform the energetic filed within the ecosystem that every person constitutes. They promote collaboration among its various elements, stabilizing the person’s balance and health.

This workshop addresses a person’s holistic health and helps to overcome one’s fear of falling ill from love.

Duration of Workshop: from a minimum of 90 minute and up to 2 hours

Space: An activity room possibly with a wooden floor, comfortable mats, and mild temperature.  A grassy garden on a sunny day.  A large tent or gazebo with a comfortable and soft floor.

Participants: from a minimum of 6 to a maximum of 40

New Program: The Alchemy of Ecosexual Love

Connect with your natural gift to Love

The Alchemy of EcosexualLove combines practices and principles from Tao, Tantra, amorous inclusiveness, and sexual fluidity to empower participants to reconnect with their natural gift to love. 

By Dr. SerenaGaia, aka Serena Anderlini-D’Onofrio

This sequence of three workshop is for people with the desire and courage to love fearlessly and unconditionally. When you overcome your fear of getting lovesick, of being rejected, of being consumed with jealousy, and of pleasure, what will keep your loving nature from becoming fully expressed?

This introductory training helps to dissipate these four major obstacles to love. We welcome diversity, appreciate consent, emphasize confidentiality, and support all forms of amorous expression.

Join us as we transform fear into love with the Alchemy of Ecosexual Love.

This content is organized in a sequence of three main 90-minute segments or workshops.

Workshops # 1 and # 2 focus on Tao and Tantra, workshop # 3 adds fluidity and inclusiveness (compersion).

The sequence can be complemented with an introductory evening, which may include a puja and a 30-minute documentary film, and a final ceremony called Wedding of Ecosexual Love. The ceremony may be followed by a facilitated celebration party.

The transforming program helps people overcome their fear of love. It works successfully with groups and in communities. Segments of it can also be included in gatherings and festivals. It has been produced in Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Italy, and Estonia.

As a recent attendee commented:

“The Alchemy changed the way I can receive or give touch, the way I feel about sexuality and the Earth. You created a bubble where we all could connect and be true to ourselves and show ourselves. You inspired me with the power of the energy that hands can create for another person in connection with the natural elements.”
– Karolina, attendee of the workshop

What Is the Alchemy of #EcosexualLove? Che cos’è l’Alchimia dell’#AmoreEcosessuale?

What is the Alchemy of Ecosexual Love? Che cos’è l’Alchimia dell’Amore Ecosessuale? It’s the alchemy by which widely diverse people come together to celebrate each other as lovers who already always share a partner, the Earth. E l’alchimia che fa si che persone molto diverse di trovino insieme per celebrare loro stessi come amanti della compagna che già comunque accomuna tutti e tutte: la Terra.

Recognizing each other as metamours involves a new energetic awareness of those who also love this partner. Riconoscersi come metamori comporta una nuova consapevolezza energetica per chi come noi ama questa compagna.

In a Wedding of Ecosexual Love, celebrating this shared lover together is easy. In uno Sposalizio d’ Amore ecosessuale è facile celebrare insieme questa amante condivisa. And it empowers people to feel that expanded love is ecological, sustainable, and good for you. Ed impodera le persone a sentire che l’amore espanso è ecologico, sostenibile, e buono per la salute. It also helps people find more fun in, and sustenance for, diadic relationships. Aiuta anche le persone a divertirsi di più, e sostenere più facilmente le relazioni diadiche.

For me this was a wonderful way to offer the world some of my most cherished gifts. Per me è stato un modo di portare al mondo alcuni del miei regali preferiti. It’s exciting to feel part of a new tribe and connected to a whole new set of friends. E eccitante sentirsi parte di una nuova tribù con un nuovo gruppo di amici e amiche.

“Let s love the earth we make love on.” Says my friend Susan M Block. “Amiamo la terra su cui facciamo l’amore.” Dice la mia amica Susan Block. At Suncave Gardens the earth conspires to do just that! A Suncave Gardens la terra cospira per fare proprio questo!

I feel a very deep sense of gratitude for all those who could be with us this time, for those who supported us, and for those with a wish to participate (again) in the future. Sento un profondo senso di gratitudine per tutte le persone che hanno potuto unirsi a noi questa volta, per chi ci ha sostenuto, e per chi desidera partecipare (di nuovo) nel futuro.

Let’s keep in touch and make our bonds stronger. Teniamoci in contatto e rafforziamo i legami. We will be present next time the Alchemy of Ecosexual Love manifests on an ecosystem that calls the loving energy of our team. Saremo presenti la prossima volta che l’Alchimia dell’Amore Ecosessuale si manifesta in un ecosistema che chiama l’energia amorevole della nostra equipe.

Beautiful experience? Memorable moments? Challenges? Breakthroughs? Comments are open for all participants and interested. Bella esperienza? Momenti memorabili? Sfide? Passi avanti? I commenti sono aperti per tutti e tutte le partecipanti e interessati/e.

Can we answer any questions?  Ci sono domande a cui possiamo rispondere?  Please do not hesitate to contact us.  Non esitate a contattarci.  We look forward to serving you in your journey of #EcosexualLove.  Non vediamo l’ora di servirvi nel vostro percorso di #AmoreEcosessuale.

Mission Statement: The Alchemy of Ecosexual Love

The Alchemy of Ecosexual Love is an educational program in the arts of love designed for people with the desire and courage to love fearlessly and unconditionally.  It combines practices and principles from Tao, Tantra, amorous inclusiveness, and sexual fluidity to empower students to reconnect with our natural gift to love.

The program refers to the practices and principles of sex-positive education, which 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.  Learning to respond to a proposal with a NO, and to accept that NO with respect and gratitude is a first step in sex-positive education.  A NO offered without apology or excuses is often a sign that the person who speaks is taking good care of themselves.  Accepting this response with respect and reverence is a way to contribute to co-creating spaces where a profusion of authentic YES’es is possible.

The practice of Ecosexual Love is based on inner guidance from the core of one’s personal ecosystem, and on 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 the diversity of nature, including human nature.  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.

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.
  2. 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.
  3. Amorous inclusiveness, which allows one to expand one’s ability to love in a wider horizon, beyond exclusive and monogamous norms.
  4. 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

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.
