SUMMARY:Great Sex in Late Stage Capitalism
DESCRIPTION:Audre Lorde taught us that caring for ourselves is “not self-indulgence\, it is an act of political resistance.” Late stage capitalism and the current political climate can cause toxic dynamics to infiltrate our sexual expression and experiences. In this class\, we will discuss ways to use our sexuality to promote political and social justice\, and to undo problematic dynamics we wish to avoid. We will center pleasure activism and define ways we can enact self-preservation against these systems. We will present tangible tools that can be used to promote pleasure and justice in our sexual worlds. Join us! \nSign up on Eventbrite.\n  \nLearning Objectives: \n1. List 3 ways political stress and external systems can impact sexual pleasure and functioning.\n2. Identify at least 2 ways to use sexual expression to undo problematic political ideas or capitalist concepts. \nThis program meets the requirements of the American Association of Sexuality Educators\, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT) and is approved for 1 CE credits. These CE credits may be applied toward AASECT certification and renewal of certification. Please select the CEU option at registration if you are eligible and wish to receive the certificate.

SUMMARY:November Drop-in Support Group for Mono/CNM Relationships
DESCRIPTION:This drop-in group is designed to offer support for people who are in relationships in which one partner wants an exclusive relationship (monogamy) and another partner wants an open relationship (consensual non-monogamy / CNM). Open to individuals\, couples\, and polycules/collections of associated people who are searching for a way to manage differences in what form of relationship they want. This virtual group offers a judgement-free zone to explore exclusive and open relationships without pressure to choose either one. \nSign up on Eventbrite.\n  \nAbout your facilitator \nDr. Elisabeth “Eli” Sheff (she/her) has researched polyamorous families with children for over 25 years. She is the author of four books\, 30+ peer-reviewed publications\, and 130+ blogs on Psychology Today\, with 10+ years’ experience coaching people facing challenges with CNM and BDSM. Dr. Eli specializes in the mono/CNM mismatch because she intellectualized her fear\, and has been the mono partner in two CNM/mono marriages. Her super-power is combining research findings and trends gleaned from her coaching practice with personal insights to understand if\, when\, and how mono/CNM relationships can work or not. \nThe Pincus Center for Inclusive Treatment and Education specializes in working with queer\, transgender/nonbinary\, kinky\, and ethically non-monogamous/polyamorous people. We value sex positivity (including asexuality)\, body positivity and fat liberation\, and racial justice.
