Most people think about dating and relationships as just about finding the “right person”. But then people are disappointed over and over again when that doesn’t work out. Yes, finding compatibility is important, but ironically enough, the most important factor is our relationship to ourselves, our desires, our emotions, and our limits.

This workshop will help you hone your skills: skills of self-compassion, learning to navigate and regulate your emotions, learning more about your desires and limits, and learning how to communicate. This workshop is for queer and trans folks of all sorts, whether monogamous, poly, or somewhere in-between. It’s experiential, focused on specific practices, and there will be some completely optional clothes-on touch exercises.
