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!
May 19–29
Beacon Cinema: A bunch of sexy, unsettling, and subversive films ($12.50 | in person)
The Beacon declares fidelity to a cinema utopia in which our struggle for collective liberation is bound up with all the unrealized possible futures woven through the forgotten histories of film. Together we explore our dreams so that we might some day possess them in reality.
May 25
Kremwerk: Kings ~ A Drag King Show ~ Queer Prom ($10–$20 | in person)
Come enjoy an amazing alt drag show and compete for the title of Prom "king" and Prom "queen" (non binary competitors welcome too!) and win all access tickets to the Kremwerk Pride weekend next month.
May 26
Pan Eros: Practical Application of Floggers ($45–$85 | in person)
Want to create a great flogging scene? Not sure about the basics? Know the basics inside-and-out but think there might be something more? This experiential flogging workshop is for anybody that thinks they’ve got something to learn. We’ll discuss the foundations, practice basic and non-basic strokes, and cover how to turn it all from a collection of techniques into a scene.
May 30–August 8
Consent Academy: Consent and Leadership Summer Series ($300+ | online)
Consent and Leadership is a unique opportunity for leaders to deepen their understanding of consent, power, trauma, and accountability. It consists of 8 workshops and one optional lab, each exploring the knowledge, skills, and practices anyone who finds themselves in a position of influence or authority needs in order to foster a consensual space.
June 2
Abbey Arts: The QUEER Not-Creepy Gathering for People Who Want to Fall In Love ($10–$30 | in person)
This structured event (held outdoors, weather permitting) is not about scrolling and swiping and making snap decisions based solely on physical appearance. This event is about being open enough to see each other's humanity.
June 6
Papaya Project: Sex Trivia! ($10–$20 | in person)
This monthly event is the best way to learn about and celebrate pleasure, queerness, and the science of sex! A portion of each ticket will be donated to Lavender Rights Project, a Seattle-based organization that elevates the power, autonomy, and leadership of the Black, intersex, and gender diverse community through intersectional legal and social services.
