How many and what type of workshops/classes have you previously facilitated?
In person? Not many. Sam, Lorraine and I did an IPNB of Erotic Growth as part of ASSFest last year, and presented as a university ‘Safe and Sexy’ week. I have avoided in person facilitation in the past due to my deafness. Technology is changing my ability to participate. If selected I will be sure to have all the tech tool and modifications I need to facilitate.

Playfulness, creativity, joy in the journey!

Co founder of IEE. Creator and facilitator of a 'Fundamentals for Trauma informed Touch'. IPNB training with Dan Siegel. Urban Tantra. Like a Pro. Anne-O-Nomis.

A little about drag – possibly? Really not 100% sure where this workshop will go but it’s about recognising the ways we perform gender, and how that impacts us each in different ways… and it will end with a game of bingo with examples of ways people do gender…
Workshop 1 program description:
"Gender Bingo" is a playful and thought-provoking workshop designed to help participants expand their understanding of gender as a performance. Through engaging activities and reflection, you’ll be encouraged to identify the diverse ways you experience and express your own gender, as well as explore the assumptions made when visually coding others’ identities.
This session fosters curiosity and self-awareness while challenging unconscious biases. You’ll be invited to question norms, unpack habits of perception, and appreciate the creative possibilities of gender expression in everyday life. The workshop culminates in a fun bingo round, reinforcing new insights and providing an inclusive space for learning and sharing. All participants and identities welcome.
