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 lecture series and experiment in conviviality! These Zoomcasts have 40 minute lectures or conversations with a follow up Q and A covering 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:
Vanessa Hernández Cruz of Galaxies Dance will discuss accessibility (and the lack thereof) in the dance world Oct. 18
Sable Mensah of Full Out Healing will debunk the idea of the perfect survivor Nov. 15th.

Sign up for these wonderful speakers, activists, and advocates at the links.

Enjoy the archived talks on the Opulent Mobility channel
And edited transcripts (and more) 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/mutual aid groups of choice, and the Opulent Mobility accessibility fund.

Thanks to the speakers, audiences, and Pamela Samuelson/
Embodywork LA for the idea!
