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, experiential embodiment practices, 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 desire and pleasure that is free of guilt, shame, and judgment.

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.
