How often does your family include a vegetable with a meal? Are you an outdoorsy family? How often does your family consume media together? Do you play games together? Who cooks? How does your family mark special holidays or milestones?

We establish a family culture in many ways. The way we address, dismiss, or make room for conversations about sex and sexuality is no different. You can take an active role in giving identity to this part of your family culture. Take this 4 class series committed to intentionally building a safe space for topics surrounding body shapes, functions, boundaries, and desires.

Join parent educator and sexuality educator Ashley Robertson as she sheds light on this developmental milestone and ways to create foundational trust and respect during this transition.

What does readiness mean? How can I be respectful of my child and hold consistent expectations? How can I teach consent and require my child to sit on the potty? How do I avoid shame for accidents? What are the actual skills I need to teach?

​Through this workshop, participants will be able to:

​List signs of readiness for potty training

​List ways their individual style of parenting/child-rearing could affect potty training

Be ready to use anatomically correct body part names aloud with children

Know the parts of consent

Internalize the rationale that a caregiver’s job is to keep kids healthy and safe as the only reasons why one would disregard a child’s consent

​Explain the roles of consistency and using simple language during this milestone

​Feel empowered to guide children through potty training as the expert.

The Our Whole Lives curriculum states “Porn may seem to present answers to a young person’s questions, yet parents and caregivers will want to understand, and to counsel their children, that pornography is a grossly misleading substitute for comprehensive, holistic, and respectful sexuality education. Porn is intended for adults and is harmful to children and youth.”

Even with this shared understanding, it’s a tricky topic to navigate (among others). Join this conversation to learn tips for communicating with your teenager. Identify your family’s core values so you’re prepared for these conversations. Work through some of you own misconceptions and biases about porn and sex work. Prepare yourself to be ready for your kid.

It’s rare to have a space created for real, facilitated conversation to take the pulse on your sex life. Well… here it is! Let me guide you through discussing your preferences, wishes, and fantasies. You’ll learn about the Gender Unicorn, create a Red-Yellow-Green list, and have opportunities to ask all of those questions you’re not supposed to ask.

It’s been a long time since you sat in a high school classroom for sex ed. What’s new? What’s changed? A LOT. Join this informative & open discussion about sexual health, healthy relationships, communication and sexual orientation. It’s never a bad idea to learn how to have a meaningful conversation with partners about healthy sexual practices.

In this workshop, participants will:

• Learn about the sexual arousal cycle

• Review STIs and transmission prevention

• Learn what can be done before, mid, and after sex to reduce risk factors

• Review all of the parts of Consent

• Discuss the power of language

• Practice dialoguing about their risk profiles

You want to find love, pleasure, or mutual fulfillment, but you know following rom com relationship advice will land you in jail.

You want to be vulnerable, curious, and daring, but nebulous relationship rules cause so much anxiety.

After we break down the basics of consent (to keep you out of jail), we’ll dive into the Relationship Anarchy Smorgasbord. This resource will give you information on ways to love and connect outside of Western society’s prescriptive norms. Writing the rules for your love story begins here.

Participants will …

• Understand that consent must be freely given, reversible, informed, enthusiastic, and specific.

• Identify that attraction, interest, and curiosity are different from actions or behavior.

• Explore the Relationship Anarchy Smorgasbord to be curious about all of the possibilities of ethical non-monogamy.

Parenting philosophies have changed. The "Me Too" movement has caused ripples. Consent-based parenting and attachment theory are new fangled ideas to people over 50. Want support in educating your parents (who are now grandparents)? I'm sure they want to be the best Grands to their precious growing families.

What we'll cover:

• Consent: What is it? What are the best ways to use it with children? Why should we parent from a consent-based lens?

• Boundaries: Why do my adult children keep talking about boundaries? What are they and why are they important?

• Collaborative Problem Solving: What is it? How do we use this? How can it reduce tension when problem solving is needed?

• Basic De-escalation Strategies & Active Voice Communication: When should we use them?
