About

Martha Postlethwaite’s poem, The Clearing, provides an invitation to:

“create
a clearing
in the dense forest
of your life
and wait there
patiently,
until the song
that is your life
falls into your own cupped hands
and you recognize and greet it.
Only then will you know
how to give yourself to this world
so worthy of rescue.”

To all 45+ men...how is your sexuality evolving and what’s your relationship to it? Join us to explore and discuss. This three hour gathering is an invitation to cis men to create a clearing, a clearing in the midst of the expectations, responsiblities and myths that surround and pressure cis men and their sexuality. In this space, 45+ year old, cis women hosts & sexuality educators will offer room to contemplate the nature of your ever-changing sexuality.

We will touch upon some anatomy, pertinent sex research, presence-focused practices, your experiences, curiosities, questions, and the discussions that arise from this. Upon registering you will receive a short questionnaire that will give you the opportunity to identify particular topics and questions.

Ultimately, this session is about exploring whole being sexuality, what you are wanting and desiring, what gets in the way, and what it looks like in your current life to embrace your sexuality in an empowering way. Whether you are experienced and comfortable in this realm or arrive unpracticed, this gathering is for you - it will allow for open and honest communication (to the degree you are comfortable) so that we language and honor this powerful aspect of identity.

We will meet virtually via Zoom. This is a non-touch gathering. All participants may choose the degree to which they share - there is no expectation.

This may lead to an on-going class in the spring.
