The Amina Institute

We’re hosting our 2026 Annual Meeting: Embodied Wisdom: Foundations for the Future on May 1–3 in Panama. This gathering is for anyone doing body-centered work at the intersections of s*xuality, culture, spirituality, and justice – whether you’re a somatic s*xologist, s*x coach, bodyworker, or community organizer.

Share Your Work: Call for Proposals
Proposals are open for panels, workshops, roundtables, papers, posters, media sessions, and Woodson Lightning Rounds. We’re especially excited about submissions that engage our theme – the body as a site of knowing and transformation – though all topics in erotic history, life, and culture are welcome.

Key dates:

Due: February 15, 2026
Decisions: By March 1
Schedule posted: March 10
Submit online with a title and 300-word abstract (full details + all presenter info on the landing page). Even if Panama travel isn’t in the cards, your work could be featured in our Annual Report.

The winter/spring cohort opens soon for those ready to teach, heal, and hold space with integrity. This is your moment to step fully into your power and serve from a place of deep presence and care.
