Take Back the Speculum is a crash course in body literacy and sex education for grown ass people who never received the transformative, agency focused, pleasure centered, gender affirming initiation into powerful adult embodiment that their sex ed should have been.
We continue the powerful tradition of self-help at the center of the feminist health and reproductive justice movements, and we stand on the shoulders of our elders and ancestors in this work.
Join me for a 3 hour deep dive into everything you need to know to reclaim your innate powers, connect with your body, take the reins of your destiny, & make sure your doctor knows that they’re working for you.
Speculums will be provided . *Medium speculums are the standard size used in all gynecological clinics. I recommend a small if you have ever experienced pain or discomfort with penetration in any context, and a long/large if you know that your cervix can be difficult to find with your finger. You cannot go wrong if you order all 3 available sizes!
Please note that all registered participants will receive an email with all information to join within the week before the class.
