description:
This space is a meeting of a variety of experiences and identities. Voices that are typically at the margins (WOC, Black, trans, POC, LGBTQ+) will be centered. I ask that attendees be mindful of the identities they enter the space with as well as the amount of space that identity takes up when it comes to the above identities.

The Sex as Healing workshop is intended for attendees to revisit how their sex life mimics their everyday life. Since sex is how each & everyone of us exists, there are techniques and tactics that we do everyday as a means of self-care that can be used during sexual activities with ourselves & others to encourage healing in every part of our minds, bodies and spirits. The Sex as Healing workshop is also intended to aid in decolonizing our healing and sex practices.

This interactive workshop includes activities such as breathing mediations, meant to create a connection to our spiritual and mental core, visualization practices for creating and developing intentions for how we please ourselves and others during sexual activity. 

The Sex as Healing workshop is designed to be a journey into how communities of color, across gender I.D., expression and sexual orientation could use typically practices of self-care to make sex more an experience than an act and to heal from past trauma. What form of our oppressor or oppressions are we bringing into our daily lives, willingly? How do we bring them into our sexual practices? How are we using our sexual acts as an additional tool for our self-care? What does sex as healing mean for our communities? How are we allowing other people to harm or help our healing practice? 

Sex As Healing was created by Charlie Trotman, a Black, Queer, Gender Non- Conforming person who is a member of BYP 100, a Volunteer Speaker and Trainer at PFLAG NYC, and a Doula in training with Ancient Song Doula Services. 




“If we are to heal, it is together. Let it be for everyone, everywhere, at each level of our existence.” – Charlie Trotman
