For years now, if I can help it, I no longer run single gender events i.e. women or male, but instead make sure to state my events welcome people of all sexual orientations and gender identities.
This has resulted in less signs-ups to be honest, so uncomfortable are some people in being in the presence of people different than them.
However I stand my ground.
Reason: I believe for sexual healing to happen, we need to hear, and learn from all genders and perspectives. Also if coupled, they really need to be learning alongside each other for optimal benefit!
The questions and sharings by participants are so precious that many people have said it’s less what I taught but to them, the Q&A was the workshop. They have said “Yeah, you know everything of course, you’re the expert” but hearing from other people just like them allows them to feel that they’re not alone.
There’s so much benefit and healing, without the lecturing, that bringing diverse people together can do that yes, I only want to run all inclusive events even if it means you’re uncomfortable.
Learning and growth can be uncomfortable but it’s so worth it. Join us.
