Sex as Healing: Better Sex & Self-Care Workshop w/ Charlie T.

Price: $10 online adv. | $15 at the door
-
Sex as Healing is a workshop for participants to create their own healing practice by way of various self-care methods, including sexual activity. 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 typical 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?

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

Note: 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.
