About this event

Join us for a transformative and empowering workshop that delves into the complex and often challenging intersection of religion, sexuality, and resilience. In a world where personal beliefs and spirituality can sometimes clash with one's authentic self and sexual identity, this workshop provides a safe and inclusive space for individuals to embark on a journey of healing, self-discovery, and spiritual resilience. We have AASECT approval. Waiting on LPCGA to approve.

  • Understanding the Impact: Explore the historical and cultural context of how religious institutions can influence our understanding of sexuality. Recognize the common ways religious teachings can impact our lives and relationships.
  • Healing from Sexual Shame: Unpack the emotional and psychological consequences of sexual shame and suppression, often influenced by religious doctrines. Learn strategies for healing and growth.
  • Communication and Intimacy: Develop effective communication skills to navigate sexual concerns within relationships. Understand the importance of consent, boundaries, and fostering intimacy while honoring individual beliefs.
  • Spiritual Resilience: Discover the power of spiritual resilience as a tool for navigating life's challenges. Explore strategies for reconciling your spiritual beliefs with your sexual identity.
  • Practical Strategies: Gain practical tools, techniques, and resources to empower yourself on your journey toward healing, self-acceptance, and growth.

This workshop is designed for individuals from all backgrounds, orientations, and religious affiliations who seek to foster a deeper understanding of themselves, their beliefs, and their relationships. Whether you've experienced the challenges of reconciling your spirituality with your sexuality or wish to support those on this journey, this workshop offers valuable insights, guidance, and a sense of community.
