Writing Your Personal User’s Manual

Two back-to-back half-day sessions (Friday evening & Saturday), limited to 12 participants, $90

This two-day workshop guides participants through the process of writing a personal user’s manual. This is a document that can be given to a partner (romantic, sexual, or platonic) to help introduce them to the awesome uniqueness of You.

We will explore issues of personal history, relationship non-negotiables, desires, needs and best practices for interaction. Whether you share the user’s manual with your partners or not, the process of writing it is an excellent opportunity to better understand your own needs and desires in relationships. This is a queer-friendly and gender-inclusive workshop, and is also asexual and poly-friendly. We often don’t think about what we want and how to ask for it – this is a chance to get to know yourself better, so that you can more successfully get what you need from your relationships.

This is also an ideal workshop for creative writers who hope to flesh out a character’s relationship style, history and needs.
