Sexuality is a broad construct that includes aspects of life ranging from self-image and relationships to identity and behavior. The way sexuality is approached can enhance or detract from the quality of human life and relationships. As a speaker or workshop provider, I will enhance and support your faith community’s efforts to promote healthy sexuality. I will respect and reflect your values and religious teachings through our work together to…

  • Add a new dimension to your worship services that enrich the spirit through words and song*
  • Initiate congregational dialogue about sexuality
  • Help elders and their families discuss sexuality and aging in a dignified, sex-positive manner (I am a founding member of the Consortium on Sexuality and Aging
  • Enhance self-communication skills to build self-esteem and self-worth
  • Teach teens and adults how to make social and sexual decisions in keeping with their values and life goals
  • Strengthen couples through enhanced intimacy, sexual knowledge, and communication skills

You are welcome to contact me for a free discussion about your faith community’s programming, concerns and needs. Upon request, I will propose solutions tailored to your needs, traditions and values.

*Current worship service titles include: “Answering the Call,” “Honoring Your Own Inherent Worth and Dignity,” “The Abstract Art of Parenting,” and “A UU Take on Faith and Miracles.”  Details here:Lay Speaker Info Sheet
