A unique learning experience with visual creativity. I now know about the Ecosexual movement, and experienced what it is actually about. Annie Sprinkle brought together a great group of people to perform small snippets of the movement. It made for a very enjoyable afternoon.Written on Oct 26 2010

Description
Annie Sprinkle & Elizabeth Stephens' ECOSEX SYMPOSIUM HoneyMOON
Moderator: Veronica Hart
Panel: Ecosex Community Leaders and Artists
What’s an ecosexual? Why are skinny-dipping, mysophilia and arboreal frottage so pleasurable? Where is the e-spot? Can the budding ecosexual movement help save the world? These are some of the questions that will be discussed at this public forum where art meets theory meets sex education meets practice.
The organizers of this first of its kind event are Annie Sprinkle, Ph.D., a feminist-porn-star and artist, turned “sexecologist,” and Elizabeth Stephens, a UCSC art professor and environmental activist. The two women explain, “As a strategy to create a more mutual and sustainable relationship with our abused and exploited planet, we are switching the metaphor from the Earth as mother, to Earth as lover.” A diverse panel of artists, academics, sex educators, and environmental activists will take turns presenting, performing, showing and telling.
Schedule:
3:00pm-5:00pm: Panel, presentations + discussion
5:00pm-6:00pm: Schmooze with the Ecosexuals; Moon Pies + ecosexy treats will be served
The panels will be moderated by TV and film actor, Veronica Hart, who will also offer an animal rights perspective.
Panelists and Presentations:
- Ecosex relationship coach, and author of Polyamory in the 20th Century, Debora Taj Anapol, Ph.D. will give an overview of what ecosex is all about-- clinically, spiritually and socio-politically.
- Ecosexual theorist and author of seminal text, Gaia and the New Politics of Love, Serena Anderlini, Ph.D. is flying in from University of Puerto Rico to present her views about “how the Earth stores and runs the energy of love.”

The Symposium is also a “honeymoon” for organizers, Elizabeth Stephens and Annie Sprinkle. The day before the symposium, they will have an ecosexual Purple Wedding to the Moon. Their aim, they say, is “to inspire others to make the environmental movement a little more sexy, fun and diverse.”
