*Dr. Sprinkle's Spectacular Sex
Tuesday, June 21
7pm
ANNIE SPRINKLE
Why am I so interested in sex? Why have I devoted thirty years to exploring it relentlessly?
Because sexuality is not only something that can be used for the enhancement of an intimate relationship, for physical pleasure or procreation. It can also be used for personal transformation, physical and emotional healing, self-realization, spiritual growth, and as a way to learn about all of life.

Whether set in Calcutta, Cornwall, Alberta, Edinburgh, or the Coastal Range of California, each story is imbued with a resonant spirit of place. Light is a presence and metaphor in each of these stories, physical light as well as light ranging through human insight and reflection, as characters face the possibilities of forgiveness, acceptance and reunion.
