Womynism Sacred Circle- 1-Day Sexual Healing Retreat
10am-4pm
Grounded in Ancestor Audre Lorde's Uses of the Erotic, this one-day sexual healing retreat is designed to center our resiliency.
Healing the Erotic Self
"Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare."- Ancestor Audre Lorde
What is healing?
Healing is continuous and layered. Those layers consist of our emotional, mental, spiritual, sexual, physical, and energetic/cosmic self-our WHOLE Self. The Erotic Self is the totality and integration of all of those layers- the WHOLE Self. The Erotic Self is both relationship with the Self & relationship with others.
Grounded in Ancestor Audre Lorde's Uses of the Erotic and centering the lived experience of Black, Brown, & of Color womxn and femmes, this one day sexual healing retreat is designed to center our resiliency & affirm our right to create our own narrative, in addition to, nurture our peace, our pleasure, our protection, and our prosperity. Healing the Erotic Self is about the relationship between mind, body, and breathe. It is somatic (body-based), emotional, spiritual, sexual, mental and energetic/cosmic. Healing is both/and, not either/or. Healing is self-determined and community-supported. Healing does not look the same for melanated people as it is for non-melanated people. Healing is complicated and compassionate. Healing is not always about peace, but the ability to return to peace. Healing is both rest & work. Healing is what you determine your healing to be.
