HOLY EROTICA

  • In this context, a CHURCH is not a building or an institution or a non-profit entity in the eyes of the IRS. It is a body of people united in belief and mission; a gathering who view WORSHIP as a part of life or as a way of living.

COMMUNITY | THE CHURCH OF HOLY EROTICA

The Church of Holy Erotica (COHE) is an online Mighty Network community hosting discussion forums and scheduled live events around the Holy Erotica films.

As a community space, the COHE is held together by PRINCIPLES and TENETS, tiered SUBSCRIPTIONS, and my lectures (or dharma) to inspire your eroticism in a safe and holy way, in service to be our Authentic Selves.

To join, start a Mighty Network profile and search for “The Church of Holy Erotica” Mighty Network community. See you there!

N / O

  • The term dharma originates from Sanskrit and is central to many Indian religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism. Dharma is often seen as the moral code or duty that guides individuals in their actions; a right way of living and aligning with cosmic law and order. Dharma is also considered the fundamental truth or principle that sustains the universe.

    For me, it’s what I learned while producing Holy Erotica. One minute, I’m filming nipples, the next minute, I get a Neo-download of our nation’s trauma and the medicine of sexy Jesus. Go figure.

THE COHE PRINCIPLES AND TENETS

are inspired by my haphazard practice of confronting feminine eroticism with my camera — a hot mess of constant dysregulation, actually. But I learned things! Important things. Breaking me from dogma. Guiding me to my AUTHENTIC SELF. Maybe it can help you?

What I learned is simplified BELOW, reduced to the fundamental and essential.

Practice it in the COHE! Listen to the lectures for inspiration! Stay as long as you need. THEN GO! Re-discover the world so the post-truth world re-discovers you, and recalibrates to what is True — THE AUTHENTIC YOU!

3 PILLARS of Holy Erotica

  1. Sexuality and Spirituality are SYNONYM. 

  2. When Sex and Spirit are synonym, both EXPAND. 

  3. When both Sex and Spirit expand, LOVE EXPANDS.

3 AGREEMENTS of COHE

  1. Yes means yes, no means no, and MAYBE MEANS NO.

  2. What happens here, STAYS HERE.

  3. EVERYONE IS DIVINE and treated with dignity.

3 TENETS of COHE

  1. YOU are the one you are looking for.

  2. EXPANSION happens on the EDGES.

  3. What is impossible IS POSSIBLE.

CHURCH OF HOLY EROTICA

HolyErotica.Org is a multi-platform site using The Mighty Network, Vimeo, and ManyVids to showcase the Holy Erotica films and cultivate online conversation in community online at The CHURCH OF HOLY EROTICA.

The COHE includes the following:

YOUR MONEY | A promise

It is said that money cannot buy love.  And love should not be based on money.  Both currencies — LOVE and MONEY — seem to exist on different planes. Do they have to be?

HOLY EROTICA was inspired by my desperate desire TO HEAL, to RE-LEARN, to RECONNECT with myself, to humanity, and God, AUTHENTICALLY. It was a yearning to feel Love, and perhaps be Love. Not for Money. With that said. Your money has no value here. YOUR INTEGRITY, however, does.

This journey has convinced me that there is an GOD-ENERGY within and between all things, measurable by science, viscerally felt in our bodies, and woven into stories throughout time — Love. For me this is CHRIST-LOVE.

    

Your subscription is a PROMISE, a gesture of SELF-LOVE, a COMMITMENT to be your AUTHENTIC SELF in this space. Some of us are so desperate to know this, that we are driven to life to protect the one’s we love, and we go into spaces that are NOT SAFE. We pay too high of a price with the scars to prove it. Too much.

     This is why HOLY EROTICA IS NEEDED.  The subscription portal creates a consent-container that protects you and loved ones who may not be ready for you . . . until you are ready to be a CHANGE AGENT of holiness, reconciling a divided world.

     HOLY EROTICA is a revolving door.  Come, leave, and come again.  If money is the issue, ask someone for help.  Authentically. That moment of authenticity — that magic — is a foreshadow of what is within HOLY EROTICA.  There is power in self-promise, a power that is magnified in community and limitless when sent back out to the world, a post-truth world desperately needing something TRUE.  This is what we are doing. Re-calibrating the world with an AUTHENTIC YOU.
