The self love soirée: part 1
Soils Lab with Netsenet | Practice Map
monday | 7 february 2022 | 6pm Est
We will be drawing inspiration from the mantra: I DESERVE JUICY PLEASURE! to explore the ways that we desire to serenade our sensual selves with sacred self pleasure. I invite Creators to share their vision of a world where we feel free to fully express our sensual selves - unashamed and unapologetically.
This lab was inspired by my share in the Winter Garden Opening Soils Lab where I expressed my sexual needs and desires. I felt really shy about sharing and I wanted to figure out why. After pondering that moment, I realized my shyness stemmed from my upbringing and never having spaces where I felt safe to freely speak about my sexual desires, especially because I was taught that you never speak about what goes on in the bedroom. I want to free myself of that thought pattern and explore what it feels like to express my sensuality/sexuality with confidence in a space where I feel the safe and loved—The Garden.
this soils lab includes these elements:
Workshop in development/experimental practice
Story sharing circle/dialogue circle
Idea mapping/dreamscaping/visioning
Netsenet recommends the selected quotes above by Jade T. Perry, a writer, speaker, educator, artist, and mystic, to support your dreaming labors. Find these quotes and more in Embodied Sensual Ritual Gems | Grounding Statements.

about our soils lab
Soils Lab is a central component of Mother Mother’s evolving creative practice methodology, An Introduction to Soils: Preparing the Heart, Mind and Body for Deeply Generative Creations.
Soils Labs are where we explore practices that nourish our soil of creation, the substance from which we create everything we do. Soils Labs journey into diverse creative realms like writing, storytelling, visual art, sacred rituals, healing practices, movement, birth and fertility studies, and so much more. Every creator shares from the wealth of her brilliance, and we all grow from there.
attending soils lab
Soils Labs are collaborative-time (live), virtual gatherings. To honor and protect the intimacy of our sharing, Soils Labs are not recorded. We are a Come As You Are congregation and you are welcome to attend as much or as little of the lab as you like. You must be a creator in the Garden who has confirmed conscious participation to receive the access link for the labs. Please visit the Fertility Abundance Garden Welcome Center to join the Garden and begin attending Soils Labs. If you have recently or previously joined the Garden, visit the Sanctuary to confirm or reconfirm your conscious participation.
ABOUT SOFT-TIME
The Garden thrives in soft-time expansions. While the Soils Lab is a collaborative-time gathering, we consciously create multiple points of engagement for all creators to participate in the majesty of our explorations and experiments, whether or not you attend the lab. In addition to the practice maps, our Soils Labs are archived in multiple places inside the Creators Portal and the Creators Shared Diary. We also extend conversations and discovery opportunities in the Creators Channel and Fertile Majesties groups. Mattering soft-time practice spaces is a vital way that we disrupt mandates of capitalism, and continue to decentralize fixed-time and cumpulsory-time standards as universally legitimate and relevant. In making space for the diversity of our life rhythms and labors, we take great care to develop generative, nourishing methodologies that honor the fluid nature of our lives as creators.
