WHAT IS DEPTH OF DESIRE?
<aside> ‗ ❍ Depth of Desire is a workshop about sexual desire by sexuality educator Sarah Diedrick. This workshop combines education, reflection, discussion, and nervous system regulation to help you get in tune with the natural rhythms of your desire.
</aside>
WHAT WILL THIS WORKSHOP COVER?
<aside> ‗ ❍ BREAKING DOWN DESIRE: How is desire often framed and how can we use science to bust these myths and uncover the truth about how desire actually functions?
</aside>
<aside> ‗ ❍ TYPES OF DESIRE: There’s more than one way to experience desire, contrary to what popular media has shown and told us. Learn about the types of desire and what kind of contexts they respond best to so you can understand your body’s preferences better.
</aside>
<aside> ‗ ❍ PERCEPTIONS OF DESIRE: How do we see desire depicted in popular media and how does that impact how we view our own sexuality? What kinds of messages did we receive at an earlier age that now interfere with feeling confident and at home in our desire?
</aside>
<aside> ‗ ❍ BUILDING A CONTEXT MENU: Spend time brainstorming the types of contexts that help unearth your desire and curiosity for intimacy so you can build a menu of possibilities to draw from depending on the day, how you’re feeling, etc.

NOTES:
<aside> 🀥 This workshop is geared specifically towards understanding your own individual desire, but feel free to take the workshop with a partner so you can better understand how each other’s desire works. There will be a future workshop that focuses on desire discrepancy and specifically navigating desire with a partner.
🀥 This workshop is not about increasing your desire and having more sex. Though that might be a result of this workshop, the main intention is to help you understand the true state of your desire and explore it without pressure or expectation.
🀥 This workshop is for you whether you know a little or a lot about desire; whether you have a higher level of desire or lower level; whether you identify as asexual as allosexual. This workshop will help you get to know the rhythms of your desire and body regardless of your relationship with your desire and what state it’s currently in.
