Are you up to the challenge? Join us as we excavate beliefs and emotions around masculinity and femininity. Can you deepen your awareness? How do conventions grind on imperceptibly and work to limit you? Ever wonder how living in another gender’s reality impacts how one thinks and sees the world? Explore how your relationship to your own body, dress, and appearance – and judgments of those around you - impact communications in a wide variety of contexts. Step into another’s shoes (maybe even literally!) and crack open your awareness to find deep wells of empathy and understanding for self and others.

“But I don’t have any uncovered beliefs or emotions relating to masculinity and femininity.” Maybe so, and still, I ask you to please consider this: We live in a world where the conventions around gender are ever present, working and grinding, making their mark upon us, sometimes constraining us, sometimes empowering us, often without our awareness. And for good reason, we need to function in this world and get on with our days. It takes time and energy to stay aware of the markers that we literally wrap and adorn our bodies in almost every hour of the day. I have been expending lots and lots of energy, exploring this realm for years. I am still making discoveries all the time. Discoveries that empower me and open me up to more freedom and joy. So, let’s dig together and see what we may uncover!

What to Expect:
Props of conventional masculinity and femininity guide us to tap into millennia of expectations and trauma that serve to complicate our relationships to our own emotions and choices. Wedive into exercises that help us step across the gender divide and catalyze deeper understanding of both ourselves and those around us.

This workshop is open to individuals, friends, couples and more, and welcoming to all genders.

Dress comfortably and bring an object that represents a gender other than your own, whether it be clothing, tools, art, makeup - any physical object that you can touch, hold, or wear.
