The Sacred: Sharing Amorous Resources

Gaia, Eros, & the Sacred: 

Learning the Arts of Loving with Serena Anderlini-D'Onofrio

Class # 3

Sharing Amorous Resources and Creating Global Health and Abundance

How can we safely share amorous resources?  
Why is the practice of safer sex important to an erotic community? 
What is fluid-bonding and why is it important to the health of an erotic community?

Safe sharing of amorous resources involves practices of love that empower all participants in an amorous community.  It is based on the Gaian principle that sharing resources creates abundance.  Gaia is “gay” in the sense that, as a live being it is by nature happy and cheerful, and in the sense that it is capable of as many forms of love as there are Earthlings to experience them.  Gaia is alive because its vital principle Eros is in her.  Therefore, it is in everyone’s best interest to radiate as much health, love, vitality, and well being as possible.  The more a participant contributes to his/her amorous and erotic communities in the ways of health, love, and vitality, the more each community will radiate these forces back, and so protect and enhance its participants’ vitality and health.

Exercises for this class include conversations about emotional and erotic safety, practicing healing and sensual touch, cuddling, spooning, as well as other forms of consensual amorous bonding, including three-way kissing.
