AstroErotics: The Planets as Sexual Realms with Nate Speare

April 27 @ 1:30 PM - 3:30 PM PDT

AstroErotics™: The Planets as Sexual Realms

AstroErotics™ is an experiential approach to sexuality that uses astrology and consent-driven somatic & mythopoetic practices to gain greater access to erotic fulfillment. This work/play articulates the planets as realms of erotic kinship, knowing that we are entangled not only with lovers but also with other-than-human erotic archetypal powers. This class is a journey to reclaim our erotic imaginations as an embrace of these other-than-human archetypal relations and ecologies. Removing the social stigma, shame and dogma attached to so many of the desires we experience, this AstroErotics™ class offers ways to play and grow in your most present erotic realm, as well as activating the imaginal realms of sexuality less familiar to you. It introduces tantalizing frameworks you can adapt to a variety of solo or partnered contexts, inviting you to reclaim your desires as sacred and place your sexuality in a greater context of cosmic kinship.
