SUMMARY:Her Pleasure Matters: A workshop exploring women’s sexual pleasure\, desire & connection
DESCRIPTION:A workshop exploring women’s sexual pleasure\, desire & connection\nWomen’s pleasure is talked about more than it used to be\, but there can still be a lot we were never taught about our own sexual experiences. \nWhat shapes desire? Why can desire change over time or in different circumstances? What’s actually happening with arousal? How can stress\, mental load\, relationships\, body image\, hormones\, menopause\, life transitions and the messages we’ve absorbed about sexuality influence our experiences? \nHer Pleasure Matters is a women’s-only\, two-hour in-person workshop creating space to learn about sexual pleasure\, desire and connection with curiosity\, openness and without judgment. \nYou won’t be expected to share personal details about your sex life. Come to listen\, learn\, reflect\, ask questions if you want to\, and perhaps understand your own sexual experience a little differently. \nWhat We’ll Explore\n\nDesire isn’t one-size-fits-all: Explore spontaneous and responsive desire\, and why changes in desire don’t automatically mean something is wrong.\nUnderstanding arousal and pleasure: Learn more about sexual response and some of the factors that can support or inhibit arousal and pleasure.\nSexual brakes and accelerators: Consider how context\, stress\, safety\, connection and other factors can influence sexual experiences.\nThe mind-body connection: Explore the impact of stress\, mental load\, body image\, hormones\, menopause and different life stages.\nMessages about women’s sexuality: Reflect on cultural\, relational and personal messages that can shape how we experience sex\, desire and pleasure.\nKnowing what you like: Make space for curiosity about pleasure\, preferences and your own experience.\nCommunication and connection: Explore communicating about pleasure\, desire and wants\, whether partnered or not.\n\nA Space to Learn\, Not Perform\nThis isn’t a workshop about having more sex\, pleasing a partner or achieving a particular kind of sexual experience. \nIt’s an opportunity to learn more about sexuality\, pleasure and desire while exploring some of the many factors that can shape our experiences. \nThere is no expectation to disclose personal sexual experiences or participate in discussions you aren’t comfortable with. Participation and sharing are always voluntary. \nAbout the Facilitator\nKameela Osman\, MSW\, RSW\, EMDR-C\, PMH-C\, is a Social Worker & Psychotherapist and founder of Elite Counselling & Consulting Services in Bowmanville\, Ontario.
