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.

The continuum of desire
Desire and the femme body
Scarcity, belonging and safety
Reclaiming desire from a sexuality-only construct
