This is a low stakes writing group for people with experience and people just starting out.

Gender is mysterious, exciting, and multifaceted.

Society is changing rapidly, and some folks want to understand but are afraid to ask about the changing terms and understandings about gender, and sexual orientation.

Come to Lilac Place with your questions and a quick presentation on the Gender and Sexuality Galaxy.

We heard that some folks weren't able to make it to our last rock painting Affirmations Club workshop, so we are bringing it back!
