Join us to Remember Your Belonging
The path of decolonizing our orgasm (and pleasure in general) is both practical and magical. It is not a linear path, but an unfolding experiential exploration of the places in us that have been domesticated. It is a coming-together in community to forge new practices and (neuro) pathways that reinforce and deepen our experience of our intrinsic belonging.
Decolonizing our orgasm requires that we:
Identify the places where our arousal, body, and pleasure have been defined by conformist-consumer culture
Re-write what we’ve been told about our pleasure, erotic nature, and orgasms to make space to discover our unique pleasure maps and pathways
Shift our thinking about pleasure and sex from linear, sequential, finite, transactional and goal-driven, to spiraling, unfolding, reciprocal and spacious
Attune to our own body and claim our erotic pleasure for ourselves
Rid ourselves of goals and expectations and focus on the sensations that are occurring right here, right now
Learn to recognize explore, and deepen into the non-ordinary state of consciousness that is available through orgasm and high states of arousal
Underlying all of this is a return to an ecocentric cosmology and experience of the world. A remembering that we, humans, are not the sole or even primary dreamers of this World, but are participants in a great web of interconnectedness. The power of our pleasure is to remind us of this: to situate us in our inherent embedment with one another and the more-than-human-world, and the responsibility that comes with it.
