Tuesday October 21 at 7pm eastern Let’s gather and engage with our questions and feelings about: sex after the death of a loved one. the disenfranchised grief of polyamorous and kinky relational loss. how pleasure and erotic energy can support our mourning. changes in desire as death approaches for ourselves or a loved one. cultural expectations of how a widow should act and our internalized stories about that. anything sex/pleasure and bereavement related. No question is too taboo. Jess will invite folks to participate in embodiment exercises, freewrite and consider the ways they want to be in relationship to their sexual expression within their (anticipatory) grief. Jess DeVries is a queer somatic sex coach and grief worker. She primarily serves the queer/trans community supporting folks in reclaiming body autonomy and to inspire curiosity about pleasure and sexual expression, guiding folks to define and pursue pleasure on their own terms. She is a grief advocate who regularly facilitates spaces for people to grieve, inviting the wisdom of the body to guide the grief process. Queer Death Salon is a community space for all 2SLGBTQIA+ people to come together to discuss death, dying and grief. It is a facilitated drop-in discussion space, with the purpose of building connection, skill, and resources for 2SLGBTQIA+ people navigating end of life in our personal lives and in our communities. Participants are encouraged to bring their own questions, stories, and complexities to share. Automatic closed captioning is enabled for the zoom session. Follow the link in bio for more information about Jess, on format and accessibility, and to get the zoom link.
