About the Event
Intimacy has regularly been conflated with sex and romance, but this association can also obscure the deep and valuable ways that platonic intimacy can enhance our lives.
In this workshop we will redefine intimacy as Closeness and Connection and examine a differentiated look at Emotional Intimacy, Intellectual Intimacy, Aesthetic Intimacy, Social Intimacy, Sensual/Affectionate Intimacy, and Spiritual/Cultural Intimacy. We will discuss how Gender and Racialization has influenced how we access various forms of intimacy and how Asexuality, Aromanticism, and Non-Monogamy are challenging social "rules" around how we connect to those around us.
About the Format
This event will be on Zoom in the Meeting format where you can actively participate as much or as little as you would like either by coming off mute to speak or commenting in the chat. There will be an exercise towards the end of the event that I encourage you to have paper and pen on hand for. This event will be recorded and the recording will be available for those who register for 30 days following the event.
