The Second Annual
Reproductive and Sexual Justice
February 24, 2012 - 9 am to 5:30 pm
San Diego State University
Healing Circle and Training
Interested in learning holistic, social justice approaches
to reproductive and sexual well-being?
Register for the Reproductive and Sexual Justice Healing Circle and Training at San Diego State University!
Drawing from theories and practices developed by women of color, this special one-day event will explore reproductive and sexual health issues, such as abortion, contraception, HIV/STDs and access to health care, within the context of other social justice issues, including economic justice, immigrant rights and LGBTQ rights. We will use holistic, co-counseling techniques (e.g. attentive listening, truthful storytelling, and respectful dialogue) to help build community and inspire activism. By the end, we hope that participants will use this knowledge within their own communities. Given the focus on personal experience and mental and spiritual well-being, please note that the healing circle may elicit strong emotional responses.
Leaders:
Gabriela Valle of California Latinas for Reproductive Justice
B. Cole of the Brown Boi Project
Luz Alvarez Martinez, former director of National Latina Health Organization
