Playing With Fire: Essentials of the Erotic Mind

The purpose of this series is to empower you with more access to your erotic fantasies, not only those that are sexual (though that is absolutely included), but the broader buffet of delights. We’ll enter this terrain through a few doors, such as meditation and the nature of consciousness; the brain, nervous system, and arousal; our bodily senses and human imagination; and desire, eroticism, and sexuality.

Our fantasies have magical powers to heal and renew us, and the erotic landscape is richer and more intricate than the physiology of sex. You’ll be invited to investigate the mysterious inner sanctum of your erotic mind and consider how early childhood experiences are a cornerstone for what turns you on now. From week to week we’ll layer in more understand and experience with the relationship between the different senses, imagery, and eroticism.

Mid-week for the duration of the series you’ll receive a reminder of the week’s “playdate” and an audio recording of an erotic poem, tied to the week’s theme.

Not only is pleasure a worthy end in itself, one that elicits vitality and the joy of being alive, it is also a training ground for learning to imagine alternative futures that collectively we are a visceral yes to. Together we get to taste these possibilities and discover the immense satisfaction available to us moment to moment, without needing to change our circumstances.
