Gender and sexuality, for many, are more complex and
fluid than we can imagine. With doors opening up throughout the world for freer
gender, love, and sexual expression, we're asking ourselves deep questions
about who we are and who we could be.
Despite this, it can be intimidating to step into these
inquiries. Our society often doesn't make room for exploration; there are few
intentional spaces set aside for questioning, let alone embodying the process
of trying on new selves.
In this workshop, you'll be in a container set by veteran
gender and sexuality explorers designed to give you space to question
assumptions and binaries, to feel into the possibilities, and to express and
experience all of who you are with others who are doing the same.
Through a mix of guided exercises and creative lab time,
you'll be encouraged to externalize and fully embody this inner journey in a
supportive environment, in a space where these acts are seen as both play and
as deeply sacred.

experimenting with and discussing your discoveries
