About this event
Healthy communities begin with healthy individual relationships!
From romantic connections, sexual sparks, the warmth of friendship, and everything in between, we all face challenges when navigating conflict, communication, and connection. Embrace the intricacies of queer love of all kinds in an inclusive and intimate space.
This workshop will cover a range of topics, including traits of healthy relationships, boundary-setting, consent, intimacy, and conflict resolution.
Through group discussions, scenarios, and small group activities, we will work through common relationship challenges, questions, and healthier habits.
The workshop will focus on how we can show up in queer relationships while resisting the straight and cisgender narratives of gender dynamics in the romantic context.
Explore and unlearn what we’ve been taught about the ways that we should show up in relationships based on our identity and presentation, reflect how gender roles influence your dating and romantic life, and more.
This workshop is meant for cis and trans people at all stages of their exploration and expression of gender and dating dynamics.
