Writing is encouraged as a means to explore and discover. This workshop aims to demonstrate the transformative power of writing through a highly participatory approach. Attendees may leave the workshop with a draft of poetry or memoir reflecting their personal journey and multiple resources for achieving their writing goals. Bio: Jennifer Polhemus lives in Central Pennsylvania with her partner of 10 years and their 3 pets. She has been writing for over twenty years. Most recently, she was the featured artist in Harrington Lesbian Fiction Quarterly (vol. 6, no. 2).
Taming the "Self-Talk" Tigress
Learn about self-talk and the ways it can sabotage our best efforts and cause us stress. Learn how to confront the "should, coulda, woulda's" of our internal monologue. Learn how to use a concrete tool to reframe all the "Self-Talk" Tigresses in your life. Chris Bilger is a lesbian mother and grandmother living in Central PA with her partner of ten years. She brings a long period of guided self-examination along with a keen sense of humor. Her other loves are her 3 animals and her computer.
Safer Sex for Women
Rates of STIs are on the rise. Women, regardless of their sexual orientation or age, are at risk for contracting a Sexually Transmitted Infection if safer sex practices are not utilized. For example, it is estimated that currently, 50% of the US population who are sexually active are infected with HPV. By the time women reach the age of 50, an estimated 80% of women will have contracted HPV. The workshop will include a discussion of safer sex practices and the risks associated with unsafe sex.
The main ideas will include:
- HIV/AIDS and other STIs (HPV, Herpes, Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, Syphilis). How do you get them? How do you know if you have them? How are they treated?
- What is safe sex?
- What are the risks of unsafe sex and how can the risks be reduced? If appropriate or necessary, a discussion of contraceptive methods may also be included.
Presenter: Michelle Geeting is a Community Health Educator for Planned Parenthood of Central Ohio. Her primary duties as a health educator include implementing comprehensive sex education programs to schools, community-based organizations, universities and other community institutions and groups. The program involves risk reduction associated with Sexually Transmitted Infections and pregnancy. Michelle spent two years as a Peace Corps Volunteer in a small village in Bulgaria from 2004-2006. During this time, she taught English as a foreign language and helped with some community development projects. Michelle graduated with her Master's Degree in Social Work in April 2008 from Grand Valley State University in Michigan. She lives in Columbus with her partner and two children and has spent the last year enjoying her position at Planned Parenthood as a Health Educator.
*2:00-4:00*
Challenging Ageism: A Women's Issue
This workshop will explore our experiences with this not-very-well understood "ism."
