Here are some of my upcoming workshops and classes. If there’s something you’re looking for and you don’t see it, drop me a note and let me know. I’m always happy to arrange a workshop.
Liberate Your Ass: Why Sexual Freedom is Key to Fighting the Right
Netroots Nation Conference
Thursday, June 7 3:00 PM
Providence, RI
From birth control to same-sex marriage, it’s clear that the right is reinvigorating a culture war on sex and sexual freedom ahead of the 2012 election. We need to fight back with language—and movements—that include and accept a diversity of sexual practices and identities instead of reproducing the casual shaming and marginalization offered by the right. Panelists, ranging from polyamorous organizers to famous sex writers and activists, will lead a raucous and fun discussion of why the progressive movement can only benefit from fully embracing of people who live, love, and—yes—have sex, in radical defiance of existing norms of gender, family and sexual practice. Further information about the event and the panelists can be found here.
Sex, Shame, and Love
OpenSF Conference: Open, Poly, or Ethically Non-monogamous in the Bay Area
June 8-10
San Francisco
Presentation time TBA
Developing shame resilience makes it easier to deal with this difficult but inevitable emotion, along with jealousy, loss, and fear. It also helps us create more space to give and receive love, explore our authentic selves, and build the relationships that suit us. Through both presentation and facilitated discussion, you’ll find new ways to keep shame from getting in the way and create the relationships that work for you!
