paint your petals: an expression of self love
5/21 @ Gem State Center for the ARts
Many womxn report regarding their vulvas with a sense of unease, discomfort, or insecurity. Being timid about their own taste or odor, feeling “less than” if their vulva doesn’t look like the taut, bald, pink prototype featured in all pornography everywhere.
In this workshop, you will flip the social narrative by literally making art out of your genitals. You are invited to connect with your vulva beforehand and to take a picture of her that you will then bring to the workshop space. From there, I give a talk on womxn’s sexual anatomy and function, followed by a step-by-step painting your vulva lesson given by a local professional artist.
Adult sex ed: A woman's anatomy of arousal
6/3 & 6/4 @ Somaworks
For anyone interested in a pleasure-based, intimate, playful, and consent-minded approach to answering the question, “what do women want?”
The answer may surprise you.
Taught by a somatic sex educator who also happens to be a lesbian, this class is a fusion of somatic sexology science and embodied practices aimed at teaching you the baseline skills needed to be an attuned, attentive and present lover to people with vulvas.
Learn about the way the female arousal process (generally) can unfold, and view it in real time with a live demo. Learn key skills to stimulating ALL the various tissues of arousal (spoiler: there’s ones you wouldn’t expect), get a talk on sex toys, and some no-bullshit education on the nuance of giving and receiving and the art of negotiating touch.
Touch essentials 101: a consent weekend workshop
7/8 & 7/9 @ True North Yoga
Drawing deeply from the model of The Wheel of Consent, created by Dr. Betty Martin, this model of interaction is based on exchanges of touch – but applies to so much more.
It sheds light on troublesome and confusing interactions and clears them up. It invariably describes and teaches an embodied understanding of the fundamental dynamics of most human relating.
The Wheel of Consent distinguishes between who is ‘doing’ and who it’s for. With this distinction four kinds of touch become possible, opening a rich and varied possibility of experience. It shows you how to notice what it is you want, how to trust that, value it and communicate it.
The real meaning of ‘Receiving’ and ‘Giving’ become clear – and they are not what you might think they are! You learn to tell them apart, learn when to use each of them, and come to appreciate and enjoy each of them.
