Moving from surviving to thriving is not easy. For some, this means a reclamation of their sensual & sexual relationships with self and others. Guilt. Shame. Anger. Numbness. Overwhelm. Despair. For many, these are huge obstacles getting in the way of us connecting to our body-based pleasure as well as to connecting with others. If you are ready to do this reclamation work- this gathering is for you! This workshop will be speaking to and centering survivors and consists of a slideshow presentation, group discussion, and participants will receive a detailed handout outlining the steps discussed in the presentation.
*Survivors will be invited to participate in the group discussion (optional!) and folks will NOT be asked to disclose their experiences of trauma.
