Check out our remaining classes for this spring!
Creating An Inclusive Space by Dismantling the Sociopolitical Construction of Sexuality
In this workshop we will learn about the historical sociocultural construction of sex and gender that led to the two-sex binary model (male and female). We will also learn how inaccurate and harmful this model is as it does not include the biological and psychological reality of many. Even within the binary model, the sociocultural construction of 'female' sexuality has been physiologically inaccurate and harmful.
Increasing one's understanding and comfort with sexuality is vital for creating a space in therapy for all clients. Incorporating a sex positive approach in one's practice begins with increasing one's understanding and knowledge around sexuality as well as one's awareness of internalized cultural biases and beliefs. Using art making and dialogue, we will establish a space to learn about the cultural messages that we and begin to open space for a healthier, more inclusive understanding of sexuality.
Upcoming topics include The Retirement Navigator, Analysis of Modern and Contemporary Art and Confessions of a Broadcast Journalist. And don't forget to join us at the Collinsville Library on March 21st at 6:30pm for The Life of Abraham Lincoln.
