Immersive Design Week: Safe x Brave: Sexuality in Immersive Design w Erica Blair
Details
Join us for a special Immersive Design Week weekend ADG! The entire week(ish) of Feb 20 - Mar 1 is jammed with great events, which you can check out at https://www.immersivedesignweek.com/
This moderated group discussion, hosted by Erica Blair (http://ericablair.io/), will be a departure from our usual lecture- or panel-style talks, and is designed for questions and conversation.
Erica writes:
"As immersive experience designers, our goal is often to unlock transformation and new layers of emotional depth in event participants.
Human sexuality has the power to take us deeper than almost any other realm of exploration, but as organizers, it is incumbent upon us to create spaces that that safe enough for heart- and mind-expanding sexual play to occur. At the same time, true growth requires getting outside one's comfort zone; in addition to helping participants understand their own boundaries, it's also important to create the conditions that allow them to experience (and hopefully enjoy!) new expressions of their sexuality.
How can immersive experience designers safely integrate sexuality into their events? How can sexual spaces incorporate brave space & growth-inducing play into their gatherings? This month, we will gather for an intimate discussion group to explore the intersection of sexuality & immersive design, and how to forward both at the same time."
Hope to see you there, or at any of the Immersive Design Week events!
