CV Meeting: Pleasure Positive

by

9:00 PMto11:00 PM

CV welcomes Morpheus for its second meeting of the year. Founder of the Pleasure Positive movement and The Pleasure Principle, Morpheus has taught BDSM/Tantric/Sexuality/STI classes for 12 years and has taught classes for: Mr. S, SMOdyssey, SOJ, DomSubFriends, TES, Lifestyles Convention, PolyamorousNYC among many others along with appearing on national television.

The Pleasure Positive Principle: Pleasure is an inherent right as long at that Pleasure does not infringe upon the rights of others or endanger them. Groups that have sexuality as part of their agenda are being marginalized. Through an interactive workshop, we shall focus on what these disparate groups along with others have in common and seek ways to build bridges between them to create positive social change by developing synergies. Pleasure Positive will be explored as: (1) a new perspective to unify disparate groups, (2) a philosophy to live in a more fulfilling manner and (3) a movement to create positive social change. The presentation will also cover the intentional living community, Pleasure Positive Village, that I am forming. Members of CV will learn how they may be able to host events in this ILC.

LOCATION: 316 Hamilton

CV Meeting: Conversio Virium 101

by
September 21, 2009
9:00 PMto11:00 PM

Conversio Virium is starting the year in a blaze of narcissistic glory! Our first meeting will be all about us.

A short presentation on the hows, whys, and wherefores of CV will give new members an idea of what to expect for the rest of the year, with our more intensive presentations and demonstrations, in a more relaxed environment. We’ll cover: the range of topics we plan to cover (including a tentative schedule for all our meetings of the semester), how presenters will explain and demonstrate their topics, what is expected of people attending a presentation, our rules for audience consent during more challenging demonstrations, and some more general issues behind how CV is run. A mini demo is planned for the end of the meeting to give some real live-audience experience!

This meeting will last no longer than one hour; everyone is encouraged to stay until the end of our time to socialize, meet new and old members, and talk to the administration about our goals for the year.

LOCATION: 302 Hamilton Hall, Columbia University campus
