About this Event
A Bodysex Workshop is a circle in sisterhood where we learn from each other through first person sharing as we heal shame and celebrate pleasure. This experience positively changes how you feel about your body and your orgasm. A Bodysex Workshop is transformative!
If you've watched the "Pleasure is Ours", episode 3 the GoopLab series on Netflix, you know about the work of feminist sex educator and women's self-pleasure advocate Betty Dodson. This Virtual Bodysex Workshop translates Betty's methods to an online format. Unlike in-person workshops, Virtual Bodysex does not require nudity.
This workshop consists of five 90-minute Zoom sessions with guided activities completed on your own with video and/or audio support. During our online sessions, women share how the activities went along with related life experience. New information is also presented in preparation for the week's activities after the session. In addition to the group sessions, a one-on-one session with Laura is included to provide individual support as desired.
Please visit the Virtual Bodysex Workshop webpage for more information.

Session One: Introductions and Setting the Stage for Pleasure After the session: Explore your fantasies and what turns you on – music, erotica, sensual bath . . . ?
