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

<p>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.</p><p>Resources</p><ul><li>Register for the Erotic Engineering Workshop, “Discover The Daily Habits Aligned With Your Zone of Desire” happening Tuesday, August 19th at 12pm EST: <a href="https://www.seedaschool.com/erotic-workshop" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.seedaschool.com/erotic-workshop</a></li><li>Subscribe to the Seeda School Substack: <a href="https://seedaschool.substack.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠https://seedaschool.substack.com/⁠</a></li><li>Follow Ayana on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ayzaco/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠@ayzaco⁠⁠</a></li><li>Follow Ayana on Threads: <a href="https://www.threads.net/@ayzaco" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠@ayzaco⁠⁠</a></li><li>Follow Seeda School on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/seedaschool/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠@seedaschool⁠</a></li></ul><p>Citations</p><ul><li>Audre Lorde, <a href="https://uk.sagepub.com/sites/default/files/upm-binaries/11881_Chapter_5.pdf" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">"Uses of the Erotic, The Erotic As Power"</a> (1978)</li><li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Stack Overflow</a></li><li>Cover Art: Barbara Chase-Riboud, <em>La Musica Red Parkway / Josephine Red</em> (2007), materials: bronze with red patina and silk dimensions: 73 x 49 x 19 inches (185 x 124 x 48 cm).
