Aisha reads from xer blog essay, The Orgasmic Organismic Yes. The essay explores the nuances of a blended YES-NO, the state when our sense of embodied pleasure becomes disorganized by obligation and pain. Xe explores how to cultivate unblending the two, supporting the possibility of embodied pleasure again. After the reading, Kaila guides a somatic practice to discover the felt-sense of pleasure and embodied yes.

Summer 2021 theme on ELC is Desire. We weave this somatic concept throughout each conversation, practice and exploration for this season. In this conversation, Aisha, Kaila and Chris attempt to reclaim desire as a concept associated with hedonism and mindless sexuality as western culture defines it. Together, we create a new working somatic definition for desire with range and nuance that invites the plurality of its light and shadow aspects.
Topics:How cultural norms shape how we understand desire
Desire as generative creation
The continuum of desire
Desire and the femme body
Scarcity, belonging and safety

Welcome to the Emergent Liberation Collective and our premier episode in this winter season February 2021. Every story has a beginning, this is ours. Follow our journey that began the week of George Floyd’s killing in May of 2020, and unfolded through the seasons of the global pandemic inside a vulnerable process of discovering trust. How do we move and create together at the pace of trust? How do we welcome generative conflict? How do we trust in our ancestors? What is our language of self knowing? Trust is required of all the fragments to live into the whole, to live into the promise of emergence. And we are learning.
