When: The workshop will start at 1pm on Saturday, November 9th and end at 3pm on Sunday, November 10th.Where: Maze Women's Sexual Health - 633 Third Ave #9B, New York, NY 10017What: In June, we had the first workshop of this kind in Chicago and it was a major success -- so this time we're hosting a workshop in New York!This will be an opportunity for people with vulvar or vaginal pain and pelvic floor dysfunction to come together and share stories. We'll talk openly about conditions, symptoms, and feelings we often keep secret or private -- and identify the shared experiences we all have. So many of the conversations about this private kind of pain take place on anonymous or "underground" platforms -- and we've found that it's really powerful when people with similar stories can meet in person and feel safe and comfortable to talk honestly about what they're experiencing.We will also dedicate time to brainstorming together about how we can address some of the challenges we've all had in the healthcare system and with the shame and stigma that surround conditions like vaginismus, vestibulodynia, pelvic floor dysfunction and vulvodynia. You can check out https://tightlippedpod.squarespace.com/workshops for more info about our last workshop!Who: This workshop is for people with vaginas (cis women, trans and non-binary folks).The workshop is specifically for people who experience vulvar or vaginal pain (provoked by penetration or unprovoked) and pelvic floor dysfunction -- hopefully at a later point we can host a similar workshop for people with other kinds of invisible or misunderstood pain conditions.Logistics: The workshop itself will be free of charge and we are looking into resources to help cover costs for out-of-town participants.Questions: If you have any thoughts, questions, or concerns please reach out to Noa Fleischacker at noadaphne@gmail.com Also, if you haven't already done so, make sure to check out the Tight Lipped Podcast ( https://tightlippedpod.squarespace.com/ )!***We will post the schedule in the coming week***
