Strippers & Sages (2024)

09/10/2022

It is a deep honor to share an interview I recorded with my beloved friend, the extraordinary artist and performer about their life and work in the winter of 2020 at their home in Santa Fe. Tigre left this world of their own volition on October 1st, 2022. They were a dedicated community activist, painter, sculptor, muralist, and dancer, a regular collaborator of , and cofounder of alliance, to whom you can donate in their honor. Their work is on display at among other places. They recently brought their installation Facing the Fear Beast to . Their previous installation The Solacii now lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

It is with immense grief yet quiet faith in the wisdom of their spirit that I share this conversation to celebrate their life and legacy. May it be a tonic for all those who are grieving, a source of inspiration for all those walking the path of the artist, and a source of comfort for all those facing their own demons, which, of course, is all of us. We talk about macaroni art, the artist as shaman, LARPing, archetype, mythology, and, naturally, fairies. Please listen with care at the link in our bio or wherever you get your podcasts ✨

✨DESIGNING SPACES FOR SEXUAL EXPLORATION with Daniel Saynt , the founder and Chief Conspirator of New Society for Wellness, a private club for the adventurous in NYC.

Designed to be a safe, judgement-free, cannabis friendly space for s*xual exploration, the community has grown to over 6000 members, who connect virtually and at sensual get togethers at the NSFW Clubhouse. Daniel is an activist and a community organizer, and our conversation sheds light on both the magic and the challenges of orchestrating s*x-positive gatherings.

If you're interested in a more intimate sensual gathering, join us for our upcoming in-person immersion, SACRAL SOUND AND SENSUALITY, a weekend retreat combining ceremony, music, expansive wilderness, alchemical plants, and erotic activation.
* Recalibrate, heal, and deepen your relationship to the erotic in a ceremonial container 
* Unlearn your conditioning to cultivate a truly personal and authentic erotic ontology 
* Tap into the deep, replenishing well of the erotic to unleash your power and creativity 
* Explore how erotic agency is tantamount to self-actualization 
* Experience new frontiers of pleasure and self-touch with the support of vibrational sound and sacred plants 
Combining INTROSPECTION (the psyche) and INTEROCEPTION (the soma), the immersion will include consciousness raising and embodiment workshops, 1:1 consultations with St*****rs & Sages host Lianne Sonia, and a sacred medicinal SENSUAL SOUND JOURNEY featuring live music by multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Petite Celine.

Check out our Season Three launch with legendary performance artists and scholars Annie Sprinkle and Beth Stephens! They have a new book out called Assuming the Ecos*xual Position. 💦🌱☀️

In honor of our conversation on Ecos*xuality and their recent film Water Makes Us Wet, we are holding a fundraising campaign to support the water protectors who have been protesting Line 3, a proposed pipeline expansion that would transport nearly a million barrels of tar sands per day through the untouched wetlands and treaty territory of the Anishinaabe people, running through the Mississippi River headwaters to the shore of Lake Superior. The pipeline could poison these waters and would contribute more to climate than Minnesota’s entire economy. Please join us in being devoted stewards, lovers and protectors of the earth by supporting the indigenous communities who have bravely put themselves on the frontlines. Links in bio!!!
