Te Amo Playa Azul I Love You - How to Join, Donate Time, Talent, Arts: Jan 25th, 2014

Dear Earthlings:

yes, we hear you: you want to donate time, talent, arts, skills to Te Amo Playa Azul I Love You!  You love the Earth and want to marry one of its beautiful ecosystems.  Plus, you're a very imaginative artist of love and wish to bring you creativity to the day's joyful celebrations.  That's a wonderful thing and there are many ways to do it.

Here's what to do:

Save the date of January 25th, 2014.  If you are NOT in Puerto Rico already, save the whole extended weekend period.  Go to KAYAK and book a round trip ticket to Aguadilla-BQN.  You will be a short 40-minute drive from your bride, Playa Azul. Puerto Rico is a US territory: no passport needed if you are a US citizen.

We plan an all-day celebration with workshops, performances, rituals, magic, ablutions, facilitation, ceremonies, refreshments, hospitality, foods.  We want to get to a place where we all feel vibrant, connected, and energized to really celebrate our love for the beach.  We welcome facilitators, performers, teachers of ecosexual love.  The day will culminate with the actual wedding to/on/with Playa Azul the beach.  It will be a sacralization of this beautiful ecosystem.  We welcome shamans, priestesses, witches, magicians to officiate the sacred unions.  Third planet Gaia is a very generous lover to us: she hosts all the love that's ever been and ever will be, she's the most compersive partner we'll ever experience, and she offers beautiful gifts, like our bride for the day, Playa Azul, or "blue beach."

We welcome all participants.  The beach is open to the public and usually frequented by very respectful people who appreciate the good care of those who live in the nearby condominums.  It's a magical balance we've created over the years: we love the beach, the beach loves us back: we have joy, harmony, and peace.  Bring towels, water, swim gear, and what makes you comfortable for a day at the beach.  

You can simply show up and participate in ongoing programs and activities.  There is excellent swimming and snorkeling in the nearby reef.  Please bring your own gear.  A beautiful walk on the sandy shore is available too.  There is natural shade under the beautiful beach vine trees, called "uva playera." 

You can also relax and observe from a distance. Voyeurism is participation, right?  We have not forgotten our LGBiTransQueerPoly wisdom!

Finally, you can facilitate a workshop, lead a ritual, perform a favorite piece, dance to the waves of the sea, read a poem, do your magic, play a skit, sing a song with music, play the drums, lead an aquatic activity.  Playa Azul is a very simple, but not clothing-optional beach.  The temperature is estimated at an ideal 85 F for the season.  Shed your warm clothes and wear cotton, hemp, silk.  Veils, scarves, shawls, pareos will do.  Bikinis and briefs are welcome for those who prefer swim wear.  Be imaginative and fun with your costumes.  Wear pink, white, and gold to enhance the colors of the ecosystem. 

Here we offer some pictures of Playa Azul.  Isn't the bride beautiful?  A perfect place to encounter diversity in sacred union.  And Te Amo Playa Azul I Love You will be an encounter across languages and cultures.  Isn't the bride beautiful?  We welcome spontaneous ways of being together that enhance the role of the hosting ecosystem.  We will facilitate translations and transitions.  Bring your imaginativeness and experience.  Let this blessed ecosystem inspire you.  Our program is open and we invite ideas, proposals, possibilities.  

We will offer healthy beverages and foods for the wedding day.  You are welcome to camp on the beach with your own equipment: free access to bathroom, pool, and shower.  There are rooms at nearby Hotel Parador Joyuda Beach.  The Parador, or "place to stop," is a local hospitality place and is literally a two-minute walk from Playa Azul.  It's not the best but it's nearby.  You can go ahead and reserve your room (now at $ 95/night for a double). We may have donated apartments available on Playa Azul and other areas.  Please ask.  We will prioritize hospitality for those who offer skills and let us know soon.  You will need transportation from the BQN-Aguadilla airport to Playa Azul and back.  Rental cars are available at the airport: Enterprise has a special deal. And my favorite driver, Ariel, is available too: book him at 787 644 3001. We may be able to pick you up: give us notice of your arrival time.   

We hope this inspires you to offer yourself this exciting opportunity.  It will be a gift to remember.  In creating these cherished memories for you, we follow the inspiration of supreme EcoSexual artists of love Annie Sprinkle and Beth Stephens.  Visit their LoveArtLab for inspiration about how much fun an EcoSexual Wedding can be.  Invite your loved ones to join you in the journey.  The practice of ecosexual love expands every day.  We wish to create a space of positive visibility for you and a model of Earth love and stewardship.

Choose Te Amo Playa Azul I Love You.  We value your time and will do our best to make this happen for you.  Let us know what what you'd like to offer and what you need.  

Much of the videography will be on site.  The choice of being in the video is entirely up to you.  Your energy, talent, and  participation are appreciated regardless and will be great contributions to the event.   

Please get in touch with Serena and Shaison: 
at serena.anderlini@gmail.com, and shaisonp@gmail.com.  Tell us, in a few words, why you'd like to come, who shares the trip with you, and what you'd like to do.  Send us a write up with some images.  We will consider and get back with you.  We look forward to further working with you.  Thank you!

Hearts on Fire: Together in Ecosexual Love. Where: @ Playa Azul. When: Jan 25, 2014


Hi lovely Earthlings! 
I'm introducing a new film project.  We're organizing an ecosexual beach wedding to celebrate our love for Playa Azul.  Save the date: Jan 25, 2014.  Playa Azul is the bride and the whole community is invited to wed her.  Everyone gets to kiss the bride too!  We'd like to envision this as a way to expand the conversation of marriage equality beyond the human couple and across biological realms.  We feel this is related to all who practice love outside of the box.  How about you?  Please watch the video and share your thoughts.  You can ask your questions here as well.  We'll be very grateful.  Thank you!

 

SerenaGaia is the project's inspiring force.  Yours truly is also known as Serena Anderlini-D'Onofrio: author, professor, visionary.  She's based in Puerto Rico and lives on the Caribbean shore.    Shaison P. Ouseph, the project's artistic director, is an award-winning filmmaker based in Mumbay, India.  Together we created the video you watched via transcultural digital communication.  How did you like it?  The artistic quality of this collaboration anticipates the quality of the videography we intend to produce together. 
 
Hearts on Fire: Together in Ecosexual Love
We designed this series of visual documentaries to help celebrate the love humans receive from Earth's beautiful ecosystems.  We also intend to open up the discourse of marriage equality to entire human communities.  This is the logo we created together.  What kind of inspiration does it create for you?  Share your thoughts with us.  We will appreciate them!  Thank you!


More details about the project are available below and on our Facebook and Indiegogo pages, including how we plan to fund the project and what each episode will entail.

The template episode will be a wedding to/with/on Playa Azul, a Caribbean beach that has loved SerenaGaia for 16 years.  She's lover her back!  So a miracle of balance between humans and ecosystems has happened.  Together, we celebrate of this energizing, ecosexual relationships.  Love the Earth?  Marry an ecosystem with us!  Te Amo Playa Azul I Love You is scheduled for January 25, 2014.  Bring your own magic to this ceremony.  We are now accepting proposals from participants.  Everyone gets to kiss the bride!  Looking for Playa Azul/Punta Aenas?  Click here for Google Map.

CALL for CONTRIBUTIONS - ECOSEXUALITY: The New Orgasmic Revolution on Planet Earth

-->
Call for Contributions

ECOSEXUALITY: 

The New Orgasmic Revolution on Planet Earth

A collection of miscellaneous writings on Ecosexuality
Edited by Serena Anderlini-D’Onofrio, Mark Olson, and Lindsay Hagamen.

Ecosexuality has emerged as a socially transformative movement where the energies of activism, art, theory, and practice coalesce.  It is a style of amorous, erotic, sexual, and artistic expression that extends love and agency to nature as an equal.  Ecosexuals theorize human bodies as ecosystems similar to those that make up our hostess, lover, and mother--Earth.  Ecosexual practices reconnect the metabolism of our species to the metabolism of third planet Earth.  Ecosexuals believe that humans are nature.  Ecosexuals are artists of love who wed themselves to nature and invent imaginative ways to extend equal rights to all its elements and life forms.  They come in all colors, genders, ages, backgrounds, and orientations.  Ecosex activism brings more fun, passion, hope and diversity to the environmental and holistic health movements.  It generates global awareness of love as the ecology of life on planet Earth.  Ecosexuality can awaken erotic feelings for nature, including human nature as a highly erotic species.  It revisits every aspect of life as an opportunity for the intellectual, spiritual, political and artistic expression of ecosexual love and its inclusive orgasmic potential.

   We invite contributions on any aspect of Ecosexuality including those mentioned above and many more.

   We accept contributions in various genres, including academic studies, philosophical, theoretical, and critical articles, reports from the field, testimonial writings, personal narratives, interviews, dialogs, debates, poems, scripts from workshop presentations and performance pieces, artists’ pages or other visual representations, reports from events, courses, and other transformative experiences, and more.  

   Love is the heart of democracy, and as the 99 percent reinvents this practice as a horizontal system of participation and inclusion, we invite Gaia, the third planet, to grace us with her hospitality and sustenance.  May this volume speak her voice too.

   Please send all submissions and inquiries to serena.anderlini@gmail.com.  Proposals will be accepted by email (MS-Word).  Please send an abstract and/or description of what you'd like to contribute.  Our tentative date for complete submissions is now February 1st, 2014.  Please send either a complete contribution or a one-page proposal, plus a bio. 

   A very respected independent publisher in the field has expressed a serious interest in doing this book.  We will secure the best agreement and distribution.

   If you are a voice in the paradigm shift at hand and its transformative movements, this call is an opportunity you don't want to miss.  Let us hear from you!  Please POST this call as widely as possible too!  Thank you!
   Please let us know if we can answer any questions.  We'll stay tuned!

Namaste,

Annie Sprinkle, Tit Print
To readers: This book is a dialog between me and myself.  In between is the Universe.  I have followed the teachings of the ancients, who also used dialogs in a philosophical form.  We need a new vision of love.  A vision that will persuade this cosmic force to stay.  The space between Gaia and Serena is where the new vision manifests. 

This is probably the most inspiring book I've ever done.  I am seeking endorsements from all the writers, healers, lovers of love I know.  Publishers want to hear your voice.  Let's give the book its best chance to go out in the world and perform its transfomative effect.  You are invited to request chapters and write your endorsements in the form of "blurbs."  Snapshots are intended to guide your choice.  I will need your endorsements by the end of August.  Thank you!

Snapshots of Chapters

1: Love As Art
     The theory that love is an art and what makes it an essential life affirming interpretation.  The cosmic force of love as the ecology of life.
2: Initiations
     The rituals that create the sacred spaces where the energy of love is invoked and the arts of loving are learned.
3: The Pleasure of the Other 
    The explanation of why a good artist of love is a lover who experiences the pleasure of the other as his or her own.
4: Monogamy and Monosexuality
    The institutions that regulate love as the Berlin Wall and the Iron Curtain of a divided world that smothers the energy of love.
5:  Romance, Sexuality, and Exclusivity
    The three essential elements of love that function like essential colors in the palette of artists of love who mix and match them in different combinations.
6: Beyond Exclusivity: Compersion, the Spirit of Polyamory
    The joy of holding the space of love for others.  What planet Earth does across time and space when she hosts life and sources the cosmic energy of love.
7: Fluid Bonding: Health and Safety in Erotic Communities
    Why a world where it is safe to love is a world where it is safe to live.  What practices of health protect the safety of amorous communities and their participants. 
8: Beyond Monosexuality: Fluidity, Knowledge, Eros
   Why when love is interpreted as an art, loving beyond gender is natural and bisexuality is a portal to this ecosexual world of sexual fluidity and amorous inclusiveness. 
9: Ecosexual Love in Cyberspace
   The interpretation of cyberspace as a new dimension of love that activates the sphere of planetary consciousness also known as noopshere at new levels of inclusiveness, fluidity, and intensity.
10:  Ecosexuality and Holistic Sexual Health
    Ecosexuality as the practice of love beyond gender, numbers, ages, orientations, races, and species.  The style of love that embraces all of life as a partner with equal rights and optimizes local, global, and ecosystemic health.  

Cindy Baker, Earth as Lover
  
Dear Earthlings:
