WORKSHOPS
FOR THE PUBLIC
Women,
Aging, and The Body Experience
How
do we accept and even enjoy our aging bodies while living
in a culture that demands an ideal body and promises
eternal youth? How can we comfortably live in our
bodies as we confront and absorb the unrealistic images
and messages that bombard us daily? Aging is a challenge
for all and also an opportunity to look more deeply at
our own attitudes and feelings. In this experiential
workshop we explore the dichotomy of the realities of
aging and the socially constructed expectations of how we
should age with an eye towards developing new and
positive perspectives.

It's
Hot or It's Not--Sustaining Sexual Desire and Erotic
Energy
This
workshop for the public will address how women can stay
in touch with, nurture and re-find their desire and
erotic energy, especially in long term relationships. For
many, long term relationships pose a particular problem
to maintaining sexual energy as familiarity and
comfortableness can replace excitement and aliveness.
We will look at what goes into attending to an
erotic life, what gets in the way and what makes it so
hard to maintain. We will also explore if there is
an intrinsic incompatibility between safety and erotic
excitement. All are welcome, whether gay or straight, in
a relationship or not.

You
Can't Go Out Dressed Like That!: For Mothers of Teenage
Daughters
Whether you've
actually said these words, or just thought them, you know
how powerful your reaction can be to your daughter's
body. Be it for reasons of modesty, body size, or eating
habits, mothers are often in conflict and/or combat over
their daughters' bodies, and what their bodies express.
In the face of cultural demands on ever younger girls to
be "sexy," many mothers are having difficulty helping
their daughters navigate the complex road to womanhood.
This workshop helps mothers cool down in the face of some
very hot issues.
