Our women's sexual empowerment group, Peak Eroticism • Peak You, is a safe space for your growth.
And, yes, the group aspect is a big piece of the puzzle!
I get it, the idea of being vulnerable in a group setting can feel intimidating. Take me for example, I have had a lifelong anxiety of talking in small groups. Whether it's a classroom, networking event, or even at workshops just like these. Yet, the anxious anticipation I feel is never as bad as the actual experience. In fact, after participating in these small group settings, I often leave knowing I'm better off and have grown by giving myself permission to try.
It’s completely natural to have these worries and nerves about sharing personal experiences and feelings. However, let me reassure, this group environment is one of the main reasons why you should join Peak Eroticism • Peak You. We curate this group experience to create a supportive and secure environment for your growth that you just simply cannot replicate without a group.
Why should you embrace the group aspect of Peak Eroticism • Peak You, you ask? Well, let me tell you . . .
Professional Guidance: The workshop is led by experienced professionals, Andrea Battiola, LPC, LMHC and Jennifer Keilholtz, LPC, LCPC who understand the sensitivity needed when exploring our intimate selves. For them, facilitating discussions with empathy and respect comes naturally, ensuring everyone feels heard and valued.
Structured Participation: You are always in control of how much you choose to share. Participation is encouraged but never forced. The workshop is designed to support you at your own pace, so you can engage in a way that feels right for you.
Supportive Community: The group setting is designed to be supportive and non-judgmental. Often, sharing with others who have similar experiences can be empowering and validating, helping to reduce feelings of isolation and fear. Remember the group norms we talked about? One of those is never yuck someone else's yum (thanks, Emily Nagoski!).
Focused on Growth: The aim of the workshop is personal growth and improved intimacy, not just sharing stories. You will gain valuable insights and tools that benefit you, regardless of how much or little you choose to share.
Anonymous Contributions: Some aspects of the workshop allow for anonymous questions or reflections, enabling you to engage without revealing personal details if that’s more comfortable for you.
Positive Outcomes: Many participants initially have concerns about vulnerability but find that the experience is rewarding and transformative. Hearing others’ stories and receiving support can lead to meaningful breakthroughs and a sense of connection.
Pre-Workshop Support: We offer free pre-workshop consultations to address any specific concerns or questions you might have. This can help you feel more prepared and comfortable with the process.
Empathy and Understanding: Everyone in the workshop is there for similar reasons, seeking growth and connection. The shared experience can foster empathy and understanding, making it easier to overcome initial fears..
