Nationally certified sex therapist (AASECT) and licensed marriage & family therapist (#93357), Natashia Fuksman will meet with our beloved Making Waves community to present on the topic of sex positivity as it relates to exploring our full range of emotions in intimate relationships and during physically intimate experiences. Natashia will bring in some clinical examples from their work with relational process groups where the topic of sexuality is especially explored. With open discussion following the talk we will importantly engage in our community togetherness celebrating our full experience of sexuality--or as Audre Lorde termed it--our "life force energies".

Dancing Saved My Life is a grassroots initiative founded by Andreina Febres, a Zumba instructor from the Bay Area, and her student, Joy Glasier, who was undergoing cancer treatment in 2014. Motivated by Andreina's loss of her mother to cancer and Joy's personal journey with the disease, they sought to provide support to the cancer community. Concurrently, Joy was participating in a stress relief class tailored to cancer care, led by Maura Singer, which played a pivotal role in her healing process. In Joy’s words, “If I was able to dance I knew I was doing OK, and through stress relief practices and meditation I learned how to lessen the fear and anxiety.” Drawing upon Maura and Andreina respective expertise, they joined forces to establish a sustainable program benefiting individuals affected by cancer.

It’s Adriana’s bday on April 28th so let’s get together to dance and shower her with love.
Celebrate with us on April 28th at Pomella!
