Move at the Speed of Attunement: What Somatic Sexuality Education Can Teach Us About Consent, Boundaries, and Pleasure
Talking about sexuality and relationships can bring powerful insights and deeper awareness to your clients. And at times, people can find it powerfully healing to include experiential, somatic, or hands-on exploration as part of their journeys. Somatic Sex Educators (SSEs) Charlie Glickman (https://www.makesexeasy.com/), Sherika Tenaya (http://www.savorsoma.com/), and Connie Eberhart (https://www.embodypleasure.org) will offer important insights into the value of both somatic and touch-focused work. You’ll learn:
• What the SSE scope of practice is and how practitioners work within it
• How SSEs create the container for their client sessions
• Ways you can use somatic tools in your own practice, whether or not you incorporate touch
• How SSEs use pleasure as a guide for our work
• Tools SSEs use for navigating consent, boundaries, and empowered choice
Come find out how these groundbreaking methods can support deeper growth, offer valuable insights, and make it easier for you to serve your clients.

How to Be a Top Presenter
Becoming a great sexuality educator or coach (even as a therapist or counselor!) doesn’t happen by accident, but the tools you need to create an engaging and motivating workshop, class, or lesson aren’t always obvious. Once you get the fundamentals, you can design your own plans instead of copying what you’ve seen other people do. That’s where the real magic of teaching is!
In this interactive and engaging workshop with Dr. Charlie Glickman, you’ll learn a simple and flexible model of adult learning that you can use to
· Create useful objectives that support your planning process
· Maintain the flow of your lessons to make sure you stay on track
· Design effective exercises for your participants to practice what you teach
· Scaffold multiple lessons or exercises into a larger, cohesive experience
· Assess how your participants are learning what they came for
Once you have these foundational pieces, you can be as creative and expansive as you want in your teaching. Whether you work with groups of 30 or 300, you’ll be able to bring your workshops and classes to the next level, increase participant satisfaction, develop more confidence and create outstanding presentations.
