Part 1: 10am-noon

Examining How Slut Shaming Decreases Our Pleasure

How do you define slut? How do others define slut? Are you one? Do others think you are? Who gets to decide? How does that shame impact you and how do you recover your pleasure in the face of it? All this and more with Nekole Shapiro and Allena Gabosch.

Lunch Break: Noon-1pm
Space will be open for attendees to eat their own food.

Part 2: 1pm-3pm
Raising Kids Without Sexual Shame Facilitated Discussion

Imagine a world without sexual shame. Imagine a world accepting of all types of families. Imagine a world where children talk to their parents about the changes in their bodies and their sexual desires instead of looking to media for their sex education. If you are interested in making this world a reality, you won't want to miss: Raising Kids Without Sexual Shame.

We believe that life is a projection of our own inner state.  How could we possibly facilitate something for others if we ourselves do not possess it?  We also believe in the power of peer support.  So, Nekole and Allena Gabosch have structured this powerful discussion in a way that allows us to heal ourselves and with each other as we search for new ways to address sexuality and reproduction with our children.  If you are searching for a new way to address sexuality and reproduction with the coming generations and know or are willing to investigate the possibility that your own healing is the key to this change, you will NOT want to miss this discussion!

Our discussions are open, supportive, deep and fun.  Come check it out.  

At the door: $25 (each part) or $40 (both parts)
Attendance is limited to 40 people.
Questions may be directed to: education@thefspc.org
