Click here for event details!

This month the CBUSU Women's Centre and Pride and Ally Centre are bringing you a workshop presented by Venus Envy! On November 20th join us as we talk all about consent and communication.

Consider this sex positivity 101! Confidence, Consent and Communication focuses on creating a positive relationship with sex. Learn how to move beyond judgment and stigma to embrace what works for you, and to be more comfortable voicing what doesn’t. We will also discuss how to handle different wants and needs, and how to hear a ‘No’ with compassion. Sex positivity affects our self-image, our ability to communicate and establish boundaries, and gives us permission to approach new experiences with a resounding ‘Yes!’. Open to everyone!

The workshop is FREE and will be taking place on October 20th from 7-9pm via Zoom, and is open to everyone!

Meeting ID: 967 8850 3882

If you have any questions send an email to su_womenscentre@cbu.ca
