Sluts & Goddesses Workshop (2.0) A one-day Experiential Workshop to honor your erotic body in a safe, sex-positive and supportive environment. Explore visual and performance art techniques to create two archetypal personas. Learn playful and seductive ways of posing in front of camera with a female photographer. Facilitated by Zen Cohen, MFA. visual artist, arts educator and photographer specializing in performance/video art and erotic photography.  About the Workshop:  The Sluts and Goddesses Workshop was created by Annie Sprinkle in 1985. It was taught around the USA, Europe and Australia. Her friends Jwala Ji, a tantra teacher, and sex educator Barbara Carrellas (author of Urban Tantra) co-facilitated the workshops with Annie for ten years. Zen Cohen recently showed interest in doing something similar, and Annie invited her to continue on the legacy of the workshops through infusing her own visual and performance art experience.  The Sluts and Goddesses (2.0) Workshop will include: + Wisdom Session: immerse yourself in a visual presentation and discussion of Goddess mythologies from around the world. Learn the secrets of Sacred Slutism through viewing a short excerpt of Annie Sprinkle’s “How to be a Sex Goddess in 101 Easy Steps." + Drawing Session: choose a goddess image from the lecture to sketch.
