She's Gotta Have HERSELF!

What do you want? Not what you’ve been taught to want. Not what makes you desirable. Not what keeps everyone else comfortable. Not what a “good woman” is supposed to choose. What do you want? She’s Gotta Have Herself is a 90-minute somatic sexual wellness experience exploring pleasure, desire, agency, and the freedom to belong fully to yourself. Inspired by the questions raised through the modern story of Nola Darling in She’s Gotta Have It, this experience moves beyond the idea that sexual liberation is simply about who l, or how many people, you choose to have sex with. Instead, we’ll explore something deeper: your relationship with your own wants, boundaries, pleasure, and ability to choose. Through guided somatic practices, intuitive movement, breath, sensory exploration, reflection, and ritual, we’ll explore what it feels like to: - recognize desire as information - notice your embodied yes, no, and maybe - experience pleasure without performance - question the expectations you’ve inherited about womanhood and sexuality - make choices rooted in your own knowing - take up space as the woman you actually are You will never be required to disclose personal sexual experiences or participate in touch with another person. Every practice includes choice, and you are always invited to honor your own boundaries. Come exactly as you are. Wear something that makes you feel like yourself. And for 90 minutes, give yourself permission to stop asking who you’re supposed to be, and listen for the woman who is already there. She’s gotta have herself first.
