SUMMARY:Sexual Bereavement - Queer Death Salon
DESCRIPTION:Let’s gather and engage with our questions and feelings about:  \n\n\n\n\nsex after the death of a loved one. -the disenfranchised grief of polyamorous and kinky relational loss\n\n\n\nhow pleasure and erotic energy can support our mourning\n\n\n\nchanges in desire as death approaches for ourselves or a loved one\n\n\n\ncultural expectations of how a widow should act and our internalized stories about that\n\n\n\nanything sex/pleasure and bereavement related\n\n\n\n\nNo question is too taboo.  \n\n\n\nJess will invite folks to participate in embodiment exercises\, freewrite and consider the ways they want to be in relationship to their sexual expression within their (anticipatory) grief.  \n\n\n\nJess DeVries is a queer somatic sex coach and grief worker. She primarily serves the queer/trans community supporting folks in reclaiming body autonomy and to inspire curiosity about pleasure and sexual expression\, guiding folks to define and pursue pleasure on their own terms. She is a grief advocate who regularly facilitates spaces for people to grieve\, inviting the wisdom of the body to guide the grief process. Within the realms of grief\, she has trained with Being Here\, Human – as well as – Shauna Janz of Sacred Grief. Her grief work is held by connections to her ancestors\, mugwort\, hawthorne\, rose\, connection to her pussy\, and many many tears.  \n\n\n\nWithin the realms of pleasure and embodiment\, she has trained in Somatic Sex Education and Sexological Bodywork at the ISSSE – as well as – the Somatica Method with the Somatica Institute. Her pleasure work is held by delighting in sights\, smells\, and tastes\, a dirty imagination\, and sharing touch with human and non-human kin.  \n\n\n\nJess provides 1:1 sessions online or by phone. She also facilitates workshops\, grief circles\, and rituals online for queer folks\, ex-Christians\, and Covid realist communities.
