Part I: The Workshops

Follow along as this group of inspiring women guided us towards the goal of a more sustainable collective future by highlighting topics often not talked about in our community. Starting with three stimulating workshops to educate us more about womanhood. Read along and discover every workshop. 

Ceramic Vulva Workshop by The Oh Collective and SWAYZE

Together with intimate wellness organization ‘The Oh Collective’ and ceramic studio SWAYZE, we started off by breaking through modern day taboos around sexuality and self-love. Teaching us how to connect with our intimate selves by crafting our very own unique ceramic vulvas.

Food for Thought by Feisty Feast and Jennifer Sun

As the day proceeded, Feisty Feast and Jennifer Sun provided us with an educational dining experience. By incorporating Traditional Chinese Medicine in food, we discovered the wonders it holds for menstrual health improvement. 

Move With Greater Purpose by Oriane Serveille-Nlate

As we wrapped up the workshop program, we connected through movement with the inspiring choreographer and dancer Oriane Serveille-Nlate. She took us along a journey of dancing to our own rhythms to pave the way for self-expression.
