Women's Sexuality Empowerment 6-Month Apprenticeship
Facilitated by Amy Jo Goddard, M.A.
6 Weekends in 2008-2009 (NY & MA)

"The more whole we are as sexual beings, the more fulfilled we are as human beings. I believe that healthy sexuality and healthy non-violent intimate relationships are a key to changing the world, one person at a time." - Amy Jo Goddard, Mission Statement

Are you ready to own your sexuality, to reclaim it, heal it and celebrate it?
Women need a safe space in which to heal, explore, examine and learn about their sexuality. In this sex-positive space, women will be able to do the deep work on their sexual selves that can empower and affect every aspect of their being.

This apprenticeship will be a combination of deep work on the sexual self through discussion, coaching and self-exploration; examination of our sexual history and patterns; and education about sexuality and the sexual body. It will involve homework in between weekends, allow participants to develop sexual/relational skills through guided exercises, push boundaries, and ask that people bring their whole selves to the process. It is a rare opportunity to dive deeply into the study and development of our own sexual selves. Women of all sexual orientations and backgrounds are welcome.
