talkshop is a 4-week workshop, co-designed with professional sex therapists, in which participants connect with other diverse women through online group sessions focused on sexuality and intimacy, accompanied by interpersonal reflection.
academic research on sexuality has shown the majority of dissatisfaction with sex lies in a lack of mind-body connection, psychosexual development issues, and concerns related to body-image and identity. our workshop has been developed with these key themes in mind to get you back in control of your body and your pleasure.
