The Pleasure Ethic Conversations
2025 Dates TBA
Small group, in-person, facilitated workshops
Facilitated small group conversations exploring emotional, erotic, and relational intelligence. Developing fluency in sex, intimacy, and relating require skill and knowledge - like all meaningful subjects of learning.
Emotional Literacy
Developing Emotional Vocabulary
Being emotionally literate means knowing that emotion is part of the landscape of being human - we can’t feel or not feel, or feel some emotions and not others. We can however consciously engage in how we experience and express emotion - with potential for improving mental health, feeling more satisfied and connected in relationships, and having a more vibrant experience of life overall.
Erotic Literacy
How Sex and Eroticism Really Work
Eroticism is the energy of arousal, of the creative drive. It isn’t only sex (and sex isn’t always erotic). In this conversation we explore how the erotic is always available to us, expand the definition of pleasure, and explore the question "what is the point of sex” - where and how sex and eroticism overlap in our unique makeup.
Relational Literacy
Communication & Boundaries
In the third conversation we bring it all together for the fundamentals of satisfying relationships. We explore techniques and practices for emotionally focused communication, and how the art of relational boundaries can connect us more deeply to ourselves and each other.
Relational Literacy
Communication and boundaries. Relationships as art, exploration, self-expression and growth.
Erotic Literacy
How sex and eroticism really work, and how a better understanding of both has the potential to liberate our experience of pleasure.
