083. Use Erotic Engineering To Create A Life Rooted In Your Desire

About this episode

This episode explores Erotic Engineering as a practice for designing a life rooted in personal and collective desire.

Erotic Engineering is a wild field of study and practice that uses the erotic as power to design a life rooted in desire. Inside this practice the desire we center is both personal and collective. Erotic Engineering pulls from the work of black feminist poetry, literature and worldbuilding which provides the material we use to create new belief systems that scaffold lives in deeper alignment with our values. It is a method for actualizing desire and putting language to the longings of our interior worlds in order to transform our material world.
