Dear WiseBodies Community,
We have a big fall semester about to begin; we’d love to have you with us.
Classes and workshops soon will be up on our website, wisebodies.org. This is a preview so you can hold space in your calendars, and in your hearts.
On first and third Monday evenings, October through April, I hope you’ll consider joining us for Sex Ed for Adults. We had our first experience of this class last year; it was pretty profound. In response to our time together, students have decided to continue for a second year.
For second-year Sex Ed for Adults’ students, we’ll meet in a closed class on first and third Thursday evenings, also October through April.
For adults considering becoming Sexuality Educators, please join WiseBodies for our first year teaching WiseBodies’ Seven Month Sexuality Educator Teacher Training (WBSETT)! We’ll meet the second Saturday and Sunday of each month, October through April, 11am - 4pm. Students will be invited to join Sunday afternoon Maker Workshops, when we’ll be guided through building, sewing, and creating a bunch of the tools we’ll be using as WiseBodies Sexuality Educators.
On the second Tuesday evening of month, October through April, 6 - 8 pm, we’ll gather at WiseBodies for Going Beyond Gynecology, an in-person, on-going activist conversation, learning, and training in how we can help transform the local gynecologic experience into one that is client-centered, warm, supportive, and collaborative.
Over the course of the year we’ll have a bunch of Sunday Afternoon Maker Workshops where we’ll get to learn how to build our own beautiful steam/smoke stools; sew anatomically correct, gorgeous teaching “puppets;” create aphrodisiac lubricants, drinks, and chocolate delights; and work with a bunch of cool teaching tools.
It’s quite likely we’ll offer an on-going course for adults who’ve experienced sexual harm - not to focus on the harm or harmful memories, but rather to focus on discovering delight. Discovering Delight (after experiencing harm)…something like that. Watch for this.
For our youngest students, we’ll soon have descriptions and dates up for our beloved children’s classes, including Fairy Houses for 5 - 7 year olds and Botany and the Body for 8 - 10 year olds. These will be in person, in Kingston.
In addition to reading about and registering for this bounty of classes, you’ll soon also be able to read about the wonderful WiseBodies educators who’ll be with us this-coming year. A wealth of goodness.
Thank you for your loving support. We need you with us, and are glad you’re here, Isa
