Scared of bondage, but always wanted to try it? Not really sure where to start? You will learn safe and fun ways to incorporate bondage into any bedroom style. We will also discuss various tools that can used.

ABOUT THE TRAINER:
Sophia St. James has 14+ years of nursing experience and 16+ years in the sex field. Sophia continues to grow within both fields as a sexual and kink educator with a focus on queer sexual health.

It is equally important for Sophia’s workshops and panels to be fun, easy to follow, and all inclusive.

Charlia from Coalition Against Sexual Violence and Dre from FIST! facilitate a consent workshop focused on identifying the impacts of dominant rape culture, followed by an interactive facilitated discussion on building a consensual world.

We put the “Sensual” back in “ConSensual”!

Though this workshop is specifically coming from a gender inclusive, non-heteronormative, anti-oppression lens, the facilitators recognize we all got shit to work on and welcome feedback.

Accessibility:
A trained advocate will be present from CASV for this event. This workshop is 2 hours long, with a break 45 minutes in. The space is wheelchair accessible with a single occupancy, gender neutral restroom in the same hallway. This is not a guaranteed scent free space, but we are encouraging all participants to be mindful and scent-free during this week.

Bad Bitches Workshop (2nd Annual No One Wins in Patriarchy Week)

Bad Bitches Workshop

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 12th  5:00 - 7:00
The Evergreen State College SEM 2 A2105

This event is apart of No One Wins in Patriarchy Week!

No One Wins in Patriarchy Week is co-Sponsored by CASV, WOCC, QTPOC, and First Peoples Academic Advising

Please note: we respectfully ask that only women, trans*, and queer people of color attend this workshop/caucus space. Thank you for your understanding and allyship.

Cost: Absolutely FREE

Bad Bitches is a workshop intended to empower women, trans*, and queer people of color. We are here to share our experiences in a real way that honors our survival skills, strengths, weaknesses, and cultural bad-assery while connecting, collaborating, and conversing on our struggles within white dominated, radical, leftist, feminist movements. Bad Bitches seeks to create a movement based on resisting assimilation within leftist culture and mainstream culture. Bad Bitches deconstructs feminism and the lack of intersectionality within the movement. Bad Bitches resists our historical erasure and highlights our history and values our personhood. Bad Bitches rewrites radical collective history, together, to reflect the truth of our existence and resistance. Bad Bitches is a non-academic environment that reaches out to people in real accessible ways. Bad Bitches seeks to push our boundaries and our comfort levels. We don’t use safe space, we use the danger zone, as in it is dangerous to act a fool. We are not here to teach but to facilitate an environment where we can learn from one another, where we do not fear one another but respect one another and our individual bold, tough, and fierce survival skills. This workshop is a round table discussion for women, trans*, and queer people of color with activities aimed at conversation expressing anger, laughter, intuition, and emotion. We will be brainstorming together for future projects, making a manifesto, and making lists on what Bad Bitches is and should be.

We respectfully ask that only women, trans*, and queer people of color attend this workshop/caucus space.

Body Heat: Femme Porn Tour is a national touring collective of fierce Queer Femme smut/erotic writers, authors, performers, poets, and dancers. Garnering such praise as “THE best Femme porn writers in the country,” the tour was founded in 2007 by Kathleen Delaney-Adams with the hope of supporting and promoting Queer Femme visibility and desire through their contributions to erotica, the sex industry, and the sex-positive movement. In addition to Kathleen, the Body Heat lineup features author Jen Cross, burlesque dancer The Lady Ms. Vagina Jenkins, drag king Al Schlong and singer/writer/performer Alex Cafarelli.

Performer Bios:
Body Heat Founder Kathleen Delaney-Adams is a Stone High Femme porn writer and spoken word performer. A National touring veteran, Kathleen is the founder and producer of BODY HEAT: Femme Porn Tour, now in it’s 6th touring year. A 1950’s housewife at heart, Kathleen’s current writing project is a Year of Cupcakes, found at http://www.belovedcupcake.blogspot.com/


Her CD, “Stiletto,” is available at www.cdbaby.com

Al Schlong sure is one sexy guy! Born of necessity, forged in the fires of the dirty dirty, radical as street sex, delicious as southern peach melting on the tongue. Al is one drag king not afraid to express his feminine side: cuff links, suspenders and bankers cuffs all make him leak a little pre-cum. Al Schlong is sleazy; he’s not the guy you bring home to momma; rather the one in the morning that made you feel like you’d stepped into a 70’s movie as the judgment-challenged heroine. Check out his Schlong on FB: www.facebook.com/

For the past 10 years, The Lady Ms. Vagina Jenkins has been gracing stages across the world with her traditional burlesque.

Body Heat’s Erotic Writing Workshop for Survivors of Trauma (2nd Annual No One Wins in Patriarchy Week)

Body Heat’s Erotic Writing Workshop for Survivors of Trauma

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 11th  3:00 - 5:30
The Evergreen State College SEM 2 A3105

Come together with other survivors to create a space in which we struggle with and celebrate our complex sexualities, in an attempt to become less isolated around, and more comfortable talking about, our sexual desires. We will write in response to exercises designed to tap into different aspects of our sexual selves: memory, fantasy, experience, relationship with the body, and so on. Previous participants have found the group to be transformative, feeling that the work they’ve done has opened up and changed not only their relationship with their erotic selves, but with many other aspects of their lives as well. Open to folks of all writing abilities: whether you write regularly, are an infrequent journaler, or used to write and would like to again, this group is for you!

FIST! (Feminists In Solidarity Together) at TESC

FIST! (Feminists In Solidarity Together) is student group at The Evergreen State College in Olympia, WA. We are committed to anti-oppression, allyship, and coalition building with a collective liberation analysis. We believe that we must work to uproot all systems of oppression. Instead of single issue activism our approach to anti-oppression work involves popular education, outreach, collaborating with other student groups, supporting projects that emphasize intersectionality, and expressing solidarity with social movements that share common values.
