4 pm:
The Sacred Third: An Exploration of Transgender Sacred Sexuality
Sex is sacred, and can be a source of great spiritual power and beauty. Walking the path of being the Sacred Third in this world can also be an integral and powerful part of one's spirituality. Yet in general, few know what a cross-section of those two paths would look like. The surviving traditions of sacred sex, sex magic, and energy work do not have clear guidelines for the work of those of us whose souls, energy, and sometimes our bodies exist somewhere between male and female. What does sacred sexuality look like when we do it, in all our ambivalent glory?

6:30 pm:
Loving Two In One: Sex and Relationships with Transgendered Lovers
It takes a special kind of person to be in a relationship with a transgendered person. We're complex people with a lot of special needs, but we're worth it.  We'll explore what it takes to date, love, and commit to people who are more than just male or female. This workshop is for anyone of any gender who loves, lusts after, or embodies the sacred Third.

8 pm:
Transitioning With A Third Gender Identity
Let’s think clearly about what physical transition means when it intersects with identity. Wondering whether to physically transition but held back because you don’t have a solidly male or female identity? That doesn’t have to be a barrier. Let’s talk about the ambivalencies of shapeshifting your flesh when your identity is all over the place. Come with questions!
