About the Workshop
Join artist and wellness advocate Kehinde Koyejo for a workshop about deconstructing gender norms through connecting to divinity!
With Kehinde's guidance, attendees will begin to tap into the power of their divine masculine and divine feminine using the sacred Egyptian deities, Isis and Horus, as a point of reference, as well as two archetype examples. Through group discussions and activities, participants will peel back the colonial layer of gender and re-tell our stories through the lens of empowerment and balance. Attendees will receive a copy of Kehinde's guidebook, "Keep Kalm and Be Happy: A Queen's Guide to a Kalmer Queendom" for further guidance on their healing journey towards true freedom.
FREE with registration! (click Register for Event above or below)! Tax-deductible donations welcome!
This event is for cis and trans men and masculine of center women and non-binary people looking to explore queer masculinities, but open to people of all gender identities and expressions.
