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!

Pan Eros Foundation: Erotic Movement After Trauma ($23 | in person)
Connecting to or finding the erotic self can be profound, especially after living through trauma.

This workshop is intended to help you find safe and supportive ways to connect to your erotic self in a professional and compassionate container.
