JOIN US FOR GENIUS TEATIME!

Fancy text in gold and bleack reads Genius Teatime above an image of a sunset sky with a floating cup of tea on a white platter next to a small Meyer lemon.
Genius Teatime is a semi-monthly community talk series and experiment in conviviality! These Zoomcasts cover a wide range of topics from Chumash agriculture to the history of beatboxing to occultist ritual theater and polyamory and beyond. Stay tuned for our next guests...

July 25th Oscar Salguera of Interspecies Library will share his Journal of Therolinguistics exhibit (on view now at Descanso Garden's Boddy House).
On August 22nd, Savannah Moffat of the School of Sexuality will regale us with tales from the Vulva Gala.
Asteria ShaBlakely will offer somatically-informed techniques to regulate our nervous system and build internal security October 17th.


Enjoy archived talks on the Opulent Mobility channel and edited transcripts on Substack.


Talks are one Saturday per month from 3:30-4:30 PM PST on Zoom. Suggested donations $10-35, no one turned away for lack of funds. Your donations benefit our speakers, their charities of choice, and the Opulent Mobility accessibility fund. Thanks to the speakers, audiences, and Pamela Samuelson/Embodywork LA for the idea!
