Trickster is a creator, a joker, a truth teller, a story teller, a transformer linked to the spiritual frequency changes humanity is experiencing at this time.

“We seem most accessible to the synchronistic gifts of the Trickster when we ourselves are at or near boundaries or are experiencing transition states, periods of major life transitions seem to be occasioned by an abundance of meaningful coincidence. Personal gtrirowth sees not only to facilitate synchronicity, but in turn to be facilitated by it. As an archetype, the Trickster, the boundary dweller, finds expression through human imagination and experience.”

Mark Growden In Concert Tonight!

Posted by Gravity On November - 17 - 2010

Mission Control presents

Mark Growden

A Music Event

Sunday, November 21st | Two Shows| 8pm & 10pm

San Francisco-based multi-instrumentalist, composer and singer Mark Growden will perform at Mission Control for an intimate, private concert.

Growden’s eclectic body of work is a challenge to categorize, though, as a musician, he is often compared to songwriting icons Nick Cave and Tom Waits. Additionally, Growden has been described as a wordsmith on par with the legendary Leonard Cohen – who he fittingly covers on Saint Judas with a reworked version of “I’m Your Man.”

His soulful music reinterprets older, pre-rock forms such as blues, jazz, cabaret, gypsy, and folk with a contemporary edge. While Growden cites the likes of Howlin’ Wolf, Nina Simone, and Kurt Weill as influences, the new album should appeal not only to roots music enthusiasts, but also to fans of indie darlings DeVotchKa, Beirut, Rasputina, Devandra Banhardt, and Andrew Bird.

$20 at the door, ($15 for Allies)
This is a private event for Mission Control members
(basic membership is free and instant)

21 and over with ID.  BYOB. No alcohol will be served.

Speakeasy is a social and cultural gathering that invites our community to learn, discuss, and share together.

What is Ecosexuality and Why is it So Hot?

with Ecosexologist Annie Sprinkle, Ph.D.

Take a stimulating, provocative, and rather kinky journey with Annie as she shifts the metaphor from Earth as mother, to Earth as lover. This pioneering new show & tell slideshow presentation explores the landscape of a new, satisfying sexual identity. See green porno, X-rated environmental activists, and ecosex art. Check out fetishes such as aquaphilia, arboreal frottage, wind play, mysophilia, cloud sex, pollen-amory and learn to find your e-spot.  By the end of this half-hour presentation you’ll want be ecosexual too!

Annie Sprinkle Ph.D. is the prostitute/porn star turned artist/sexologist. She has passionately researched and explored sexuality in all of its glorious and inglorious forms for thirty six years, and has shared her findings all along the way through producing and starring in her own unique brand of sex films, photographic work, teaching workshops, and college lectures.

Sustainable Sex Toys for an Ecorotic World

with Dr. Carol Queen

You care about the carbon footprint of the products you consume: what about your sex toys and your lube? Is it possible for locavores to have a “locarotic” sex life? Which products are better for the environment? What do you (and your friendly local sex-shopkeepers) have to consider if you want to love and lust as greenly as possible? Dr. Carol Queen, Good Vibrations Staff Sexologist, will cover all this and more!

Carol Queen is an author, editor, sociologist and sexologist active in the sex-positive feminism movement. Queen has written on human sexuality in books such as Real Live Nude Girl: Chronicles of Sex-Positive Culture. She has written a sex tutorial, Exhibitionism for the Shy: Show Off, Dress Up and Talk Hot, as well as erotica, such as the novel The Leather Daddy and the Femme. Queen has produced adult movies, events, workshops and lectures. Queen was featured as an instructor and star in both installments of the Bend Over Boyfriend series about female-to-male anal sex, or pegging. She has also served as editor for compilations and anthologies. She is a sex-positive sex educator in the United States.

A Gaia Themed Ritual

with Francesca Gentille

Gaia philosophy is a broadly inclusive term for related concepts that living organisms on a planet will affect the nature of their environment in order to make the environment more suitable for life.

Francesca will present the ritual to small groups of 8-10 people behind the closed doors of Mission Control’s Harem room. Each session will take about 20 minutes. The focus will include:

-Earth as Mother, Lover, and Home
-Body Blessings: Earth, Air, Fire, & Water
-Macrocosm & Microcosm

Francesca Gentille is an initiated shaman in 4 traditions, clinical sexologist, empowered aging specialist, and relationship counselor. She is the popular internet radio host of Sex: Tantra & Kama Sutra and co-author of the award-winning sex & relationship book “The Marriage of Sex & Spirit.” Francesca is the co-director of the Integrative Arts Institute, and the founder of The Sacred Courtesan School of Feminine Mystique and Power. She is the creator of the village model of Shamanic Soul Coaching – reclaiming the treasures of spirit lost in the dark of trauma.
