Sexy Spring is a radical, sex/body positive sexual education skill-share and conference focused on exploring the ways sex, sexuality, gender, relationships, communication, health, our bodies and our choices affect our lives through workshops, art, discussions, performance, play, demonstrations, storytelling, networking, etc. Sexy Spring is a product of the people who organize it and the people who come to it. It seeks to attract a large and diverse collection of perspectives. A skill-share is based on the idea that learning to understand each others’ experiences is more important to making meaningful changes in ourselves and our world than accumulating knowledge from so called “experts.” We all have things to teach each other. Sexy Spring is a venue for these exchanges. In the fifth year of Sexy Spring, those of us who have organized skill-shares past are seeking ways to give Sexy Spring to new people. Sexy Spring needs to change hands and fit itself to those who hold it in order to be viable. The more newness, the more communities represented and the wider the variety of ideas expressed, the more everyone stands to gain from the exchanges. Check out the workshop page for more information about doing a skillshare at Sexy Spring.
