How would our behavior change? How might we, then, co-create a more sustainable future? This series of workshops and events introduces participants to Sprinkle & Stephens' ecosexuality performances and their creative techniques. All activities are open to students, staff, faculty, and community. Sprinkle & Stephens' visit will include a host of opportunities to meet and engage with the "ecosexual activists" beginning on Oct. 11. A brief schedule below.
