MELBOURNE Earth as Lover w/ Eve X
Event description
Decolonizing Sexuality & EcoErotic Activism
The disconnect between mind and body is a mirror to the rupture between society and nature. We are animal beings who have learnt to be ashamed of our flesh, our hungers, our primality.
In this workshop we’ll be connecting with nature, and our own inner nature, with a blend of guided meditations, movement praxis, self touch, eco sex and primal play. We’ll strip back to the fundamentals: our flesh and the land that holds us. We’ll use seasonal produce and flora to explore our relationship with sensation and nourishment.
Drawing from the work of Elizabeth Stephens & Annie Sprinkle, this workshop will be a guided journey with land as lover. We’ll explore the body as erotic landscape, sensation play as a way to simply (and cheaply!) bring richness to everyday life.
We’ll also have some philosophical chats about the history and ethics of sex - the aim is not to abandon the mind, but to find a space of resonance between flesh & thought.
THIS IS AN 18+ EVENT

OUR TICKETING STRUCTURE
We have added a pay-what-you-can/want ticket - to help support the community and those who may not be able to afford the full price ticket of $80, this is an option where you can pay what you can from $50. There is no upper limit on this ticket, so if you feel like subsidising those who purchase 'lower priced tickets, or giving a little extra to the facilitator to support us, this is your option!
We believe in both accessibility for the community, as well as making sure our facilitators are paid appropriately for their erotic / intellectual labours, so this is our solution to hold space for both with a minimum of fuss!
Enjoy this social experiment, and we'd love your feedback.
✨ Afterpay and ZipPay available ✨
5% of ticket sales are donated to charitable organisations. We are currently contributing to Medecins Sans Frontiers and Children’s Ground.
