The Erotic & Our Relationship to Pleasure

Creative Writing

Inspired by the work of Audre Lorde and Anne Carson, we will explore the powerful act of pleasure-seeking as a life-giving means of cultivating joy and resilience against the backdrop of today’s complex world. Together, we will discuss a poem about hedonism; listen to a talk on the power of the erotic; and gain new perspectives on our own relationships to each as we write poetry and prose dedicated to pleasure and how it can transform our worlds.

Hi! I’m Chelsea. I’m a poet, teaching artist, and learning designer based in Brooklyn, NY.

My work centers around one key purpose: to empower others by facilitating self-expression, learning, and connection.

No matter the dream, I work collaboratively to uncover resistance and limiting beliefs, and work together on a concrete plan of action to help you enjoy the present more while simultaneously moving toward where you want to be.
