    • Sherbourne Health Centre

    Sacred Sex: Fueling the Fire

    Thurs Aug 12 • 7:00 – 9:00pm • Sherbourne Health Centre • 2nd floor
    By: Carlyle Jansen

    Deepen your connection to yourself and/or your partner(s) using sacred sexual techniques common to many spiritual traditions. Discover how to blend your spirituality with your sexuality in practical ways meaningful to you. Gain new techniques that will intensify your current lovemaking style as well as create new passionate sacred experiences. Regardless of whether you follow a spiritual tradition or not, this workshop will teach you how to build a deeper erotic connection that fans the flames of desire.

    Carlyle Jansen got her start when she gave an impromptu sex toys seminar at her sister’s bridal shower. Carlyle had just recently learned how to orgasm and her sister's friends were so thrilled with Carlyle’s ease in sharing her knowledge that they requested more workshops. Over time doing workshops at the YMCA, women said that they wanted a comfortable place where they could purchase the toys Carlyle was speaking about, and they wanted more workshops. Thus Good For Her was born.

    ALL WORKSHOPS ARE FREE! Light snacks, safer sex supplies and sexual health resources will be provided.

    Please register for each workshop at amehta@ppt.on.ca or at 416*961*0113 ext 123; workshop spaces are limited so register early! Also, let us know how we can make the workshop more accessible for you. Please note that all of the workshops are scent-free, wheelchair accessible and trans-positive.

    All-Inclusive Camping Experience at GBINP!

    The All-Inclusive Camping Package is now in its second year and proving to be very popular! This experience provides all equipment and activities are included in the cost, from pick up in Honey Harbour and pre-assembled luxury tents to guided hikes, canoeing and campfires.

    The camping package was designed for those who would like to discover – or rediscover – camping in a National Park setting without having to acquire and assemble all the necessary equipment, set up a tent or take it down.

    This event is now fully booked.  You can request to be placed on a wait list and you will be contacted if a spot becomes available.  Spots allocated on a first come first serve basis.   To request a wait list spot, please register online.  You are not obligated to take a spot as one becomes available, so you are not committing by registering online.

    You can contact Jacquie for more information as follows:

    atlarge@wrib.ca 

    or by calling 416 686 2357

    I participated in this all inclusive experience last year and had a blast.  The camping was tent camping, but it was luxurious camping - tents set up on raised platforms, raised air mattresses, sitting area in tent with chairs and side table and wee little camping lamp.  I did not have to schlep my gear or worry about setting up or taking down.  On Friday the camping staff provided the full evening meal.  They made coffee every morning and the kitchen area was fully equipped.  All I had to bring was a sleeping bag, pillow, clothes and food for 3 meals on Saturday  and  breakfast/lunch on Sunday.

    I have camped before - many many times, back country included.  I lost my gear in a basement flood several years back...I wanted to camp again but without purchasing all the gear and really - setting up a tent is not my favourite activity - though it can shed light on the health of your relationships with significant others....consider joining us for this weekend - spots are limited.

    Cost - last year it was 299.00 for two people sharing tent and 179.00 for one person occupying a tent.

    Guided hikes were available, camp fires, boating excursions.  Staff were friendly, knowledgeable and professional.
