Practices of Ecosexuality @ UPRM: First Academic Symposium – From Day One in the Caribbean
Dear Earth Lovers– It’s been a joy to convene #PracticesOfEcosexuality@UPRM, the first symposium about #Ecosexuality hosted at UPRM, an academic institution located in the region I’ve elected as my third Matria, the Caribbean. Day One was Thursday, January 28, and we were in the Teatro Figueroa Chapel, a beautiful amphitheater at the University of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez, whose air conditioning system needs urgent refurbishing for calibration and sustainability. It was FREEZING! Despite the balmy temperatures and caressing breezes of the dry season in the blessed region of the Islas Maravillas, we had to wear coats and sweaters to resist the low temperature air conditioning. The university contributed performance spaces and technical skills, with Dean Gilbes’s special blessing. Speakers donated their time, travel funds, and expertise. Volunteers donated their organizational skills. My non-profit, 3WayKiss funded the necessary hospitality and publicity. This was a day of ideas. A little too cerebral, considering the excessive air conditioning. The really hot gift that made it all worth while is Dr. Susan Block, who came with her husband, Captain Max, all the way from Los Angeles to educate people in our region about the inspiring behaviors of our kissing cousins from the primate kingdom, the Bonobos. Also known as Dr. Suzy, Susan Block is a renown sexologist and sex educator who devoted her energies to studying these gentle creatures who evolve peace through pleasure. Students had been lining up in the Lobby to sign attendance sheets. I rushed them in so as to start on time. The theater was full. Our speaker was absolutely charming. She spoke ad lib presenting her findings on a background of eloquent videos where the diverse amorous behaviors of various Bonobo communities could be admired. These include kissing on the mouth, intercourse while gazing into a partner’s eyes, various styles of pleasure, inclusive sexual play with partners of various genders, respect for the wisdom and experience of older females, and solidarity among “sisters” when annoyed by male insistence. What a nice place to be! I want to sign up for Bonobo camp next summer. I’ve been called bonoboesque before. But I bet I can learn a lot more too. Dr. Suzy eloquently explained how, if inspired by Bonobos, we humans could find ways to use our intelligence more efficiently than we do today. We too could evolve peace through pleasure instead of endangering terrestrial life with our cruel weapons. Yes, I agree! That’s ecosexual intelligence, or ESQ, right, Dr. Suzy? And I’m so happy that the public could feel validation for these practices and ideas. A whole batch of student reports was due this week. Dr. Suzy’s keynote was a big hit. Some students felt an alignment with their own way of thinking. Others were exposed to entirely new ideas. Many responded with enthusiasm. Others considered Dr. Suzy’s proposal seriously. All response were equally significant. Some of these reports will appear on this blog in an upcoming series. Stay tuned! Lunchtime was a great occasion for community members, students, and volunteers to intermingle with speakers. Tables were organized with attendance sheets, books, and foods. We served Sancocho, a specialty of the Caribbean that brings out the richness of local ingredients. It was made with love by our volunteers. This tasty soup is healthy and complete, revealing the ancient culinary wisdom of the region. Dr. Suzy was so eager to answer questions about her book we had to remind her to eat her soup. People’s ecosystem absorbed the love found in the food. The day continued with two favorite presentations. Marsha Scarbrough, from New Mexico, focused on the Orishas, these African deities that reside in elements of nature and remind us to sacralize what sustains our lives. An onstage dance made it all more real. Another favorite was the self-revealing tale of Maria Virginia Sanchez Cintron. a bilingual world traveler, social worker, and musician in Mayaguez. She revealed how ecosexual love can work for people seeking openness in relationships, and especially for Latino women who experience sexual expression on a continuum. This presentation was a favorite with attendees. It was very spontaneous and reached to the heart of many bicultural people’s experience in our region. As the program unfolded, an audience formed that continued attendance, well beyond any required hours, which is what makes symposia real. It was great to see such diversity in attendees: ages, colors, attires, genders, origins, disciplines, interests. It was a true manifestation of the motley nature of the Caribbean. Speakers had been asked to be cognizant of bilingual needs, and to leave 25 percent of their time for open questions. It was a great joy to me to notice that we always had more questions form students and other attendees than speakers had time to address. Participation was eager and real! Next was my presentation from my brave co-editing experiences. As some of you know, I am the co-editor of #Ecosexuality: When Nature Inspires the Arts of Love, published by 3WayKiss in 2015 here in Puerto Rico. I wanted to share about the complexity of this collaborative experience, where I worked elbow to elbow on a par with with a number of people spread world wide and all willing to go on record as ecosexual authors. What a great adventure it was! And a major joy in it was the evolution of a loving collaborative alliance with my faithful co-editor and mentee Lindsay Hagamen. She appeared long distance from her community in Washington State. This was a technological feat. It all worked really smoothly thanks to the careful technical assistance of Antonio Ramos and Pepe Garcia. I did not perform to the best of my abilities. I was a bit too overwhelmed with production and emceeing responsibilities. But it was great to read poems by Yemisi Ilesanmi and Kamala Devi, and excerpts from the book, along with Susan Block and Lindsay. Linda Rodriguez is the brave colleague who became involved in the project from the beginning. A graduate of the UCLA School of Film,
Practices of Ecosexuality: A Symposium / Practicas de Ecosexualidad: Un Simposio – UPR Mayaguez, Jan 28-20, 2016
This event will introduce #Ecosexuality to the people of Western Puerto Rico, to all interested students and community members of UPRM. What is #Ecosexuality? How can we practice #EcosexualLove? What is its transformative potential for our ecosystems, our regions, ourselves, the world? What is the #EcosexualMovement? How can we bring its excitement and effervescence into our lives, communities, learning practices, and academic discourse? These and more questions will be addressed in two days of symposium activities designed to offer a diversity of participating options, including: panels, videos, films, dialogs, staged readings, book presentations, poems, art, songs, workshops, and other kinds of creative events. Join us! Invite your students, colleagues, partners, friends. –Thursday the 28 will be our theory day: Meet us in the Teatro Figueroa Chapel, Lobby, RUM. –Friday the 29 will be our practice day: Meet us in the Cafeteria Annex, RUM. –Ecosex movies are planned for both days. –Local, fresh, and in-season delicious foods are also in the works. 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. –Eros is an untapped renewable energy of our time. –It’s a good idea to love the Earth we make love on. Our call for contributions is now open. Have you been thinking along any of these tag lines? Many exciting proposals have been pledged by participants, local and world wide. If you feel inspired to participate, please do send us your idea and will will consider it for inclusion in the program. Thank you! Please make sure you tell us what you want to do on or before October 31st. Thanks! The 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. With your collaboration we look forward to evolving much more. Clusters in the projects include courses, field trips, internships, events, and seminars, for a University that extends its transformative influence over the territory. Be part of the project! We look forward to making this happen with your enthusiasm and participation. Thank you! ~~~~~~~~~~ This event was held in conjunction with Playa Azul I Love You 2, a day long beach gathering of Ecosexual Love that also resulted in a documentary film, Playa Azul I Love You, which you are welcome to enjoy HERE.
