Register for Harmony's "Circles of Sexuality"

Circles of Sexuality Promo on Biteable.

In accordance with Harmony's mission to provide advocacy, education, and resources for Queer/LGBTQIA2S+ voices in Community of Christ, Harmony offers this four-part series with Sexologist Dr. Jill McDevitt. Feedback received from each workshop will inform the topics of subsequent workshops.

The purpose of this series is to provide Harmony members and the public with meaningful and science-based information concerning human sexuality and gender identity as well as insight into common areas of struggle for the Queer/LGBTQIA2S+ Community such as shame, intimacy, power and agency, pleasure, and more. This series is meant to provide individuals with accurate and thought-provoking information that has the power to improve lives.

This four-part series is free to 2020 Harmony members (registration still required) and $10 USD for non-members. We hope you will join us as we learn together about common areas of struggle for the Queer/LGBTQIA2S+ Community.

Meeting link will only be shared with registrants. See full details below.

Some feedback Harmony received after the first session:

• “This is such a great gift to the church from Harmony.”
• “It was wonderful to see such vulnerability with church leaders present. So good!”
• “Interesting watching as a family. We agreed at the start that our child would manage their own comfort level and feel free to go read if it became uncomfortable. They left for part of the sensuality circle but they came back. Really good. So respectful and helpful. Great to have this content.”

The theme for the second session (this Saturday, Oct. 24 @ 11 a.m. MDT) with Sexologist Dr. Jill McDevitt will be: "LGBTQIA2S+ Relationship 'Sexpectations.'"

SESSION DESCRIPTION:

This workshop uses interactive activities and small group discussion to examine the concept of “shoulding”. Participants will have the opportunity to explore and challenge the ways that religious expectations, LGBTQIA2S+ cultural norms, and taboos of society at large come together to apply social pressure of how relationships “should” be. Strategies and best practices for managing and overcoming these hurdles will also be discussed.
