Other Community Events to Enjoy!
The CSPC throws amazing parties and hosts many important discussions on various topics. But luckily, we live in a place where there are many more options to dive into sex- and body-positive culture. The list below is just a sampling of some great events coming up in the next month.
We include non-CSPC events in the first issue each month. If you have an event suggestion, please email Marissa at newsletter@thecspc.org and it might make it into our next issue!

Beyond Descent: Emergency Management in Rope ($45 | in person)
Most “Emergency Descent” classes focus on how to get the bottom down from suspension as fast as possible; this class will be different. We will identify the possible emergencies in rope suspension, discuss how dangerous they actually are, and how they can be prevented or addressed.
