Join female sexuality workshop information session - Monday/Tuesday, Jan. 23-24

In a world that insists on repression of and obsession with the sexuality of women, this educational workshop is a sumptuous opportunity for unlocking personal and cultural assumptions about body and pleasure.

Originally the brainchild of University of California, Berkeley, and Brown University seminars, the Female Sexuality Workshop for the Community workshop opened up to the larger community last year.

Two sections will continue to be offered in San Francisco at 518 Valencia, as well as a new section to be offered in Oakland at Tech Liminal, 268 14th St. Workshops begin the week of Feb. 6 and conclude the week of May 14. Topics include: anatomy and sexuality, race, class, sexual identity, consent, orgasms and more.

If you are interested in being a participant, please attend an information session at 6 p.m. this Monday, Jan. 23, at Tech Liminal. There also will be additional sessions at 6:30 p.m. Jan. 23 and 24 at the 518 Valencia location. Visit the FemSexComm website for details.
