Do I need to talk about my own sexuality?
Although participation and active engagement is the basis of this reflective workshop, participants are free to disclose as much or as little as they wish about their own sexuality.
I have a history of sexual trauma. Is this workshop safe for me?
We intend to create a safe space for everyone in this workshop. Anisa Varasteh is a qualified psychotherapist and clinical sexologist.
