DESCRIPTION:This Declaring Ourselves Erotic series is open to queer women survivors of 
 sexual trauma! \n\nHave you been thinking about exploring some new edges in 
 your writing?\nAre there longings you'd like to find language for?\n\nNow's 
 the time: Changing our language can change the way we understand ourselves 
 and our desires! Join this sexuality/sensuality writing workshop (based on 
 Pat Schneider's workshop model as described in the book "Writing Alone and 
 with Others (Oxford University Press, 2003)).\n\nOnce again, I'm opening 
 this workshop explicitly to queer women survivors of sexual trauma who want 
 to continue the process of reclaiming their sexuality. In this erotic 
 writing group, we write in response to exercises that engage or invoke 
 various aspects of our erotic, sexual and sensual selves, in a safe and 
 confidential group of peers. Get more comfortable writing about sexual 
 desires, receive strong and focused feedback about your new writing, 
 explore the varied and complex aspects of sexuality and identity, all while 
 trying your hand at some explicit erotic writing!\n\nIn addition, if you 
 choose, you may share your manuscripts with peer writers for well-rounded 
 response to your erotic work. In these 8 weeks, you'll create an exciting 
 body of fresh and (often) surprising new writing, and my very well find 
 that your experience of your erotic voice/erotic power has been 
 transformed.\n\nNo previous writing experience necessary -- All writing 
 abilities welcome!\n\nSpaces are limited and pre-registration is required. 
 \n\nFee for 8 weeks is $250. \n\nTo register email: 
 jennifer@writingourselveswhole.org.\n\nAbout your facilitator: Jen Cross is 
 a widely published freelance writer. She's a queer incest survivor who used 
 writing as a transformative and integral part of her own healing process. 
 She’s a certified AWA Facilitator and is currently leading workshops at 
 UCSF for folks living with cancer. \n\nMore info: 
 www.writingourselveswhole.org.\n\nNote: These workshops are open to 
 individuals who identify on the woman/female spectrum and who also 
 self-define as survivors of sexual trauma. Categorizations of gender can be 
 highly problematic and I believe that both "women" and "survivor" are 
 self-defined! Please don't hesitate to contact me if you're wondering 
 whether you should attend or not. \n\n
