What is the future of love on an imperiled planet?  What’s the global, cultural, emotional, spiritual, and body ecology of love?  Will sex save the planet?  What combination of ‘free’ love, polyamory, and imaginative styles of erotic expression will do the job of making peace with Gaia, our mother Earth?

The connection between sex and the environment has been on people’s minds lately.  As top-rated writer of conscious love Tinamarie Bernard has put it, “At first glance, sex and the environment don’t make obvious bedfellows. How can the answer to our environmental problems  . . .  possibly be found in the satin sheets of lovers? According to a growing number of greenies, free love may just save the planet.” 
 

We have only to look around us to see that this salvation hasn’t happened yet.  Why not?  Is the whole idea of a politics of love just a flakey new age fantasy? Or have we not taken it far enough?  Has the wisdom of love been forgotten, distorted, and misunderstood for so long we are only now starting to penetrate this mystery? 


On July 3rd, three brilliant, passionate, and courageous avatars of polyamory will address the theory and practice of loving in freedom, consciousness, and compassion. We’ll integrate the wisdom of our bodies, hearts, souls, and minds in guiding this fast moving  experiential journey into love.

Dossie Easton, Deborah Anapol, and Serena Anderlini are all authors of groundbreaking books on polyamory.  Their combined poly life experience totals well over 100 years! Each is an incredible teacher in her own right and by choosing to join forces they have co-created the most amazing context ever for sharing of wisdom of love. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to stand on the shoulders of these pioneering leaders!  From this vantage point we’ll appreciate how your intimate, erotic life is instrumental in weaving the web of life we call Gaia.

Dinner Talk:
Gaia Science: Path to Love, Health, Relatedness

The Gaia Hypothesis is probably the most important scientific hypothesis of our time.  It is the foundation for the paradigm shift toward the new system of knowledge that will enable humanity to make peace with Gaia, the third planet.  The hypothesis is based on the science of James Lovelock and Lynn Margulis.  It this hypothesis is true, then the entire web of life, including ourselves, is a live body made of symbiotic, interconnected elements.  This means that we humans are all already always related.  What is a healthy way to do relationships in this context?  It is the most natural way to connect to that already existing relatedness and allow its potential to become actualized in the most authentic form.  So, Gaia science indicates a path to love, health, and relatedness that honors polyamory as a style of love conducive of the paradigm shift nature- and peace-loving people want to create. 

Serena Anderlini-D’Onofrio gave the keynote address at the 2007 Loving More and World Polyamory Association conferences.  She has been interviewed on Italian public TV about her books on practices of love that include bisexuality and polyamory.  She is an academic, an activist, a writer and a healer.  Her numerous books include Gaia and the New Politics of Love (2009), Lambda finalist Eros (2007), Plural Loves (2005), Women and Bisexuality (2005), and Bisexuality and Queer  Theory (2010).  She leads workshops on Gaia, Eros, & the SacredShe has been published in and peer-reviews for several journals.  She is a professor of humanities at the University of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez, and lives in Cabo Rojo, Western Puerto Rico.
