This workshop will provide an introduction to (Jaime Grant's), Desire Mapping, a tool for your lifelong journey toward sexual empowerment and a more just world. As our ancestor and movement trailblazer Audre Lorde wrote famously -- the erotic is power! Sex isn't 'beside the point' in our activism, it is the bedrock of our authentic selves, and one of the critical sources of strength that our enemies would have us betray and deny.

Desire Mapping is a dynamic tool for sexual liberation that hinges on the idea that until we can claim our authentic desire -- and not simply capitulate to or parrot the 'wants' that others have designed and approved for us -- we cannot seek justice and re-make the world in the radical, generative ways that we must. In fact, the more we bury and deny our erotic truths, the more our vision for true liberation falters.

Desire Matters. Claiming and acting on our desires creates a more sustainable life path for all of us. Fully embodying our desire gives us an integrity and a fierceness that we take into our families, our communities and our work for justice. The key treasure trove of what turns us on and what keeps you interested lies deeply in your own sex story.
