Justice and Peace Consulting workshops affirm that all bodies are good bodies, that all of us should be able to live lives that are free of shame and full of consensual, healthy, pleasurable and embodied relationships.
The offerings range from workshops to help parents or care providers teach toddlers about using their words and check for consent in play with other children, to raising teens who are able to ask and articulate what they do and do not want in terms of emotional and physical interaction with others. It includes working with adults as parents, as teachers, or simply as people who are themselves increase their sexual knowledge. All workshops provide information that is both comprehensive and developmentally appropriate. “Comprehensive” does not mean All The Information in the world, it means we don’t leave subjects out.
In a culture that provides more opportunities for objectification of the bodies of people we do not know, in both media and on the street, than actually conversing about our real lives and experiences, it is life changing be able to have shame free open conversations. CB talks about bodies and sexuality in a healthy, open way, and JPC workshops are full of information, laughter, personal introspection and are conducted in a trauma sensitive way.
The offerings range from 20 sessions for adolescents on holistic sexuality, to one time workshops on a particular topic. CB also gives talks, keynotes, and sermons designed to be educational and inspirational for your group or congregation. Sample workshops are listed below.
