This group is a space for women, femmes, and non-binary folks to reclaim their relationship to pleasure and desire after sexual shame, trauma, or lived experience in purity culture.

Through psycho-education, writing, small breakout groups, and supportive group discussion, we’ll unpack the messages of shame and purity culture and reimagine a new way of relating to pleasure that is free of guilt, shame, and judgment. The group will also integrate experiential practices to increase access to mindfulness, grounding, and to support increased access to embodiment and ease.

This group might be for you if:

• You were raised in a religious or cultural environment that emphasized purity culture and are now questioning or healing from those messages.

• You’re exploring broader narratives and past experiences have impacted your relationship with your body, sexuality, gender, identity, or self-worth.

• You want to connect with others who understand the complexity of sexual shame and are on a journey to increasing self-trust and reclaiming desire.

• You’re looking for a supportive space to share your experiences with folks who have similar lived experience.

• You’re curious about how writing and community support can support your journey of healing and enhance a sense of empowerment and connection.

• You want to reclaim your voice, values, and sense of agency in a community that honors your process.
