A Cosmos of Mutual Attraction

From birth, humans are naturally curious, drawn to explore and connect. This attraction extends to all matter, like hydrogen and oxygen forming life, and the Earth’s relationship with the Moon. Life is interconnected, revealing a loving force throughout the universe.

Erotic Entanglements: Living through Eros & Touch

We feel attraction through our bodies, drawn to connect with others. Western culture's rational view ignores this erotic connection. Eros, a universal force of life, goes beyond sexuality and is embodied in ecosystems, where life feeds life.

Romantic Mythologies: Learning to Love Again

True bliss comes from being ourselves while allowing others to do the same. This contrasts with Western views of love, which often leave people empty. True love is an ongoing, mutual practice rooted in compassion and ecological love, giving and receiving life.

Queering Ecology: Erotic Transformation & Identity

Eros is the desire for change and self-transformation through relationships. Identity is constantly unfolding, shaped by connections. Every body, made of symbiotic relationships, evolves. Life is about embracing growth and change through deep, relational connections.

Death: Becoming Edible as an Act of Love

Eros involves transformation, requiring acceptance of death as part of life’s flow. Death isn’t violence but a necessity for life to continue, as we shed our form and give life to others. Life and death are intertwined, and to live fully, we must become edible.

Towards an Ecology of Love

Life is erotic because it desires connection and transformation through others. The cosmos is filled with this longing to relate, and matter is its vehicle. Through the erotic, we experience a pulsating, interconnected universe, where our aliveness mirrors the core energy of reality.
