The Holiday season, that singular time between Halloween and New Years, is fast approaching. For some this is a wonderful time of the year, full of happy memories and excitement. For others it is very stressful with family interactions and unpleasant circumstances. For most of us, it is a mix of both. The Holiday Survival Kit Workshop Series is designed to help with some of the ups and downs we all experience.

We're starting on October 30th with how to maintain a healthy relationship through the stress and emotion of the holidays. On November 6th we're going to look at the difficulty around being out, coming out, or needing to stay in whichever closet you might occupy and how to navigate that situation in a healthy and graceful way. On the 13th were going to talk about how to maintain a hot, pleasurable, and enjoyable sex life during all the stress and logistics around the holidays. And we're going to cap the series on Nov. 20th with our bi-monthly discussion of consent and negotiation, focusing on situations unique to the holidays.

In all four workshops we will look at communication skills, self-awareness, relation maintenance skills, and how to keep up with good self care. There will be plenty of tips, trick, tools, and answered questions for everyone. Come join us for this exciting and useful series.
