Meeting Our Desires is a project about sexuality and intimacy during the Covid-19 pandemic. Join Alyssa Vera Ramos and Jessamyn Fitzpatrick, longtime creative collaborators, theatre artists and sexuality educators, as they curate and host conversations around this theme. Equal parts structured-interview-series and 3am-cocktail-chats, this audio miniseries will explore questions such as: How has our relationship to sex and intimacy been impacted by the ongoing pandemic? How can we attune to our desires and meet them differently in new and unprecedented circumstances? How can we be in transformed relationship with ourselves and others moving forward towards a more just, and pleasure-powered existence? Let's get deep. We hope you come along... Follow us on Instagram @MeetingOurDesires - we love DMs ;) - and please review & subscribe to be the first to hear about new episodes. You can also email us at MeetingOurDesires@gmail.com.
