Here are some tag lines for #Ecosexuality:

–Ecosexuality is often thoughts of as the cultural practice that enables our species to reconnect our metabolism to the metabolism of the partner we all share: the Earth.

–Ecosexuals often imagine the Earth as a lover rather than a mother.

–Ecosexual Love is the love that reaches beyond gender, numbers, orientations, ages, races, origins, species, and biological realms, to embrace all of life as a partner with equal rights.

–It’s exciting to think of love as the ecology of life.EcosexSymp-Call2

–Eros is an untapped renewable energy of our time.

–It’s great to love the Earth we make love on.

Our call for contributions is now open.  Here to the right for details.  Have you been thinking along any of these tag lines?

EcoSexualityThe Symposium is based on the recent publication, Ecosexuality: When Nature Inspires The Arts Of Love, edited by Serena Anderlini and Lindsay Hagamen. The first world wide collection of writings on this topic, the book brings together the voices of 30 leaders to converge the multiple energies of the ecosexual movement, its versatility of styles and diversity of genres convey a compelling variety of perspectives on this emerging social movement.

The event is part of the UPRM-based project Islas Maravillas: Ecosexuality Education and Extensive Research at UPRM, whereby PI Serena Anderlini and her teams intend to “manifest a convergence of energies to awaken the Area Oeste, the Colegio, and the entire region that surrounds the University to the experience of ecosexual love naturally inspired by the gentle and caressing nature of the Caribbean.” It intends to design public private alliances that organize local resources into eco-sustainable initiatives across the region.

This Symposium a beginning. It will be followed by Te Amo Playa TAPAILY2-FLIER-2016Azul I Love You Two, a Plural Wedding of Ecosexual Love, on January 30th. This event is also free of charge and open to the public. Here’s your invitation. Space is limited in both events.  So save your spot early. Let us know you are joining on Facebook, or by email at serena.anderlini@gmail.com, or (for UPRM students) by signing up for the course. Thank you!
