- UPDATES -

Vital Living at East Side has a program update we wanted to share with you.

Vital Living will be offering an LGBTQ+ cohort for Our Whole Lives (OWL) Sexuality Education for older adults March-May.

OWL is a series of 2-hour workshops over ten weeks that uses exercises and techniques to reduce shame, normalize age-related changes, and provide information about relationships.

It is a curriculum that takes a values-based, social justice approach to the sexuality of adults in midlife and beyond – recognizing and honoring the diversity of participants concerning sex, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, and disability.

The topics and issues addressed in the workshops are organized in four broad topic areas: Self-Worth, Sexual Health, Responsibility, Justice, and Inclusivity. Our Whole Lives is recommended for adults over the age of 50, as well as for caregivers working with older adults. This program has no cost, but a commitment to attendance is required.
