In the first module, we take time to identify and dismantle the assumptions that we and others have made about our bodies, and begin to cultivate our own unique body-knowledge. This knowledge will be fostered through healing our relationship to our bodies, reconnecting to them, and creating space for their wisdom. This cannot be completed in a week, but we will start this process and you will be provided with tools to recommit to it as needed.

In the second module, we will use our growing connection to our bodies to begin fostering our intuitive knowledge of ourselves, our values, and our connection to the earth. We will engage with our intuitive knowing and find the unique contours of it. We will embrace the mystery. Reconnecting to our bodies and our intuitive selves is a vital foundation for building a bespoke gender presentation that aligns with our values. It gives us something to touch into when we feel overwhelmed with pressure to conform.

In the third module, we will begin to connect our wild intuition to values we hold and traits that we admire. We will examine these through the lens of gender, and deconstruct our notions of what is available and unavailable to us based on our real or perceived identity. We get in touch with the traits we embody and, without judgment, examine the distance between how we want to show up and how we are currently showing up.

In the fourth and final module, we take these values and traits and connect them to real world changes. We consider what small steps we can begin taking today that move us even slightly closer to our ideals. We discuss boundaries; how to feel into them, how to communicate them, and how to live with them. We celebrate all that we have done and commit to gender exploration as a toolkit that is available to us at any time.

After completing Re-Envisioning Gender, you will have a new set of tools for moving through spirals of gender exploration. The point is not to explore your gender, find answers, and be done with it. The point is to engage with gender exploration as a framework and tool for living a more authentic life. Gender exploration allows you to question the assumptions others have put on you or that you have put onto yourself, and to compost that which no longer serves you. In doing so, you make space for a more authentic self to emerge. We will build out the bones of this process together so that you can flesh out your identity more and more over time.
