Liberating Sex with Roan Coughtry: Finding healing through our desires

Our desires can be a source of great healing and liberation. They can also hold a great deal of shame. We live in a society where sex negativity, racism, transphobia, homophobia, fatphobia, and ableism all interact to police our bodies and desires, and many of us grow up feeling some level of shame or uncertainty around our sexualities. This workshop is a place to delve into the healing potential of our sexualities, while unpacking the beliefs and messages that no longer work for us. Providing space for folks to bring their whole and complex selves, we’ll identify where in our bodies we may still be holding shame, and explore how our desires can help us reclaim and empower ourselves in all areas of our lives. Participants will leave with tangible tools and resources for furthering their sexual liberation.”
