Monitors at the PRIDE Parade (downtown civic van ness)
Annie Sprinkle and Beth Stephens have 104 collaborators, joining them for the SF Pride Parade on June 28th.
They are still in need of 6 volunteer safety monitors. Safety Monitors are required to take a one hour training and walk beside the contingent. Those that do this public service which I hope will be fun to do, will also get a bag of cool EcoSex swag.
Please email Annie if interested. Annie @ AnnieSprinkle. org.
We'd also love one or two stylists to help with costuming. Express yourself! And make a splash about WATER! and be in our new documentary. We can't do it without you.
All floats in the Pride Parade are required to have Safety Monitors. The following are the guidelines as set by the Pride Parade. More information can be found on our website: http://theecosexuals.ucsc.edu/sf-pride/
SPECIAL NOTE FOR MONITORS
We are required to have 8 monitors to accompany our contingent. Contingent Monitors are designated members of our contingent that will walk with us along the Parade route acting as chaperones.
This is a great role for someone who wants to participate but who doesn't want to perform. In exchange for being monitors you get some of our special ecosex swag, stickers, an ecosexual hanky, and huge gratitude.
All monitors must attend a mandatory training session. The training will last about an hour and will cover everything monitors need to know. Please sign up at the bottom of this page.

ABOUT BEING AN ECOSEXUAL
Are you able to feel sexual stimulation from a rainstorm? Turned on by thunder and lightning? Or maybe just strolling through grass in bare feet, sinking your toes into mud or sand? Titillation from ocean waves or the wind? Do you spend time with the Earth specifically to feel these various caresses and sensations?
You might be an Ecosexual.
Please join us in the San Francsco Pride Parade for the first ever Ecosexual Contingent.
We are looking to add the E to the LGBTIQ!
We are specifically looking for monitors. Please look at our website for more details for monitor training. http://theecosexuals.ucsc.edu/sf-pride/
Beth Stephens, a professor of art at UC Santa Cruz and longtime environmental activist, said, "The Ecosexual movement is really about imagination and desire, and creating a more pleasurable and loving relationship with the Earth. Ecosexuals say that humans are not better than other species, and we are not separate from the ecosystem around us. We are part of it and it is part of us." Annie Sprinkle added that "Ecosexuality is an inclusive identity--you can be gay, straight, queer, or even celibate and identify as ecosexual."
"By shifting the metaphor from "Earth as mother" to "Earth as lover" we aim to entice people to develop a more mutual, pleasurable, sustainable, and less destructive relationship with the environment."
