Flower F*cking

This virtual pre-recorded community offering is an opportunity to feel (not just think or talk about) the ways our personal bodies are intrinsically linked to the larger, interconnected body of the earth.

I desire to invite you into the experience of connection, kinship and reciprocity so that you can interrupt colonization’s elaborate project of policing, separating, alienating, displacing, stigmatizing, exploiting and oppressing.

This offering is not some "Miracle-Gro" quick fix solution to centuries of colonization and land-based trauma. Instead, I invite you to think of this praxis as a seed that holds the potential to grow, in its own perfect timing, into a vast, lush community of belonging. May this experience create a somatic opening in your body, allowing new pathways of pleasure to slowly emerge.

Through creative movement research, embodiment practices, ecoerotic ritual, radical imagination, intentional breathing and storytelling, this offering welcomes you into a playscape to dive into the wild and wonderful ecosystem that you are.

Accessibility:

Open to curious humans of all identities and experiences. This space will prioritize TGNCI2SQ+, disabled kin, multiply-marginalized folks and people of the Global Majority!

No prior dance experience necessary.

Closed captioning will be provided.

This offering is online and self-paced on purpose, allowing global access to this experience and encouraging you to move at whatever cadence feels most supportive to your bodymind.

When you sign up, you gain access to a 2 hour recording (broken up into six stages) that will be immediately available to you with unlimited replay access after you buy it.

No one turned away for lack of funds. If you'd like to request a scholarship spot, please email [email protected]

Why flowers? Flowers have been on this earth for about 130 million years and have seen us through the rise and fall of many empires. What can we learn from these ancient pleasure allies? How can these living beings and profound expressions of love support us in attuning, restoring and reconnecting to our earthbody? Can we open ourselves up to the truth that the erotic intelligence that lives in a flower also lives within us? What transforms in our bodymind as we receive this powerful, intimate medicine?

As inhabitants of this planet, we hold a profound responsibility of stewardship and interdependence. When we access our inherent belonging, we subvert disconnection and remember that we are capable of transformative change.

Let’s learn how to give ourselves permission to blossom. To feel erotic aliveness. To follow our pleasure. Like flowers, we can grow and flourish in soil that’s watered with tender care.

Our liberation is threatening to cisheteropatriarchal capitalism precisely because once we embody it, we become undeniably powerful.

I want to take a moment to name some of the activists, creatives, educators and disruptors that have shaped me (while also acknowledging that this still leaves so many unnamed ancestors, organizers and healers whose legacies influence me every day): Audre Lorde, Angela Davis, Bell Hooks, adrienne maree brown, Mia Mingus, Sins Invalid, Bianca Laureano, Gloria Anzaldúa, Dr. Kim Tallbear, Alok Vaid-Menon, Ev’Yan Whitney, Caffyn Jesse, Mo Katzman and Frankie Simone.
