What is EcoSex? How can it help us to heal ourselves? Heal our planet? What happens when the Earth becomes our lover, rather than our mother? EcoSex Symposium Portland 2012, happening June 29-July 1, will be exploring this new form of earth activism in a venue that includes neuroscience, ecology, love, animals, fungi, plants, intimacy, music, and dance. Find out more with host Stephanie Potter who will be talking with Gabriella Cordova, symposium organizer and Tantra teacher and Bob Czimbal, keynote speaker & author.
From the EcoSex Symposium website: "How do our belief systems and attitudes about human sexuality affect the way we treat each other, other life forms and the ecosystem, and what can be done to better steward the planet and our relationships? Ecosexuality looks at the intersection of ecology and sexuality, two prescient topics in modern society, and asks: How do our belief systems and attitudes about human sexuality affect the way we treat each other, other life forms and the ecosystem, and what can be done to better steward the planet and our relationships?
The term EcoSex is newly coined and growing in popularity among sex positive activists and ardent environmentalists who understand that humans aren’t just part of nature; we are nature. It’s time we apply the ideals of sustainability to our intimate lives and behaviors." (Find out more about the Symposium at www.ecosex.org)
