WHAT THEY’RE SAYING
“Rachel Lotus is the real thing. When it comes to progressive sexuality education, there is simply nobody better. A charismatic, authentic, unblinking, honest, straight-forward communicator, Rachel has a remarkable ability to take the edge off the discomfort, guilt, and preconceived notions that we bring to sex-ed by creating an atmosphere of open, judgement-free engagement. In addition to working with Rachel on four excellent workshops, I have had the great pleasure of observing Rachel's joyous work with kids. If only she could time travel back to my youth - being in one of her workshops would have changed so much for me!”

GOT QUESTIONS?
We get it. We’re parents, too. Here are some frequently asked questions -
+ What will you cover in your workshops?
Great question. First, know that all of our curriculum is developmentally-appropriate and meets the National Sexuality Education Standards. Know, too, that our workshops use a scaffolding technique to build knowledge, skills, and confidence over time. Topics range depending on age, and reflect both student interest and the well-researched findings of evidence-based comprehensive sex ed programs.
You can expect the following topics to be covered:
- Healthy Relationships
- Communication, Consent, Boundaries, & Safety
- Digital Literacy and Citizenship
- Body Image
- Puberty
- Anatomy
- Reproduction
- Gender Roles, Identity, & Expression
- Sexual Identity
- LGBTQ+ culture and history
+ Can't I just talk about this stuff at home?
Of course! And we hope you do. Our classes are not meant to replace the essential conversations you have with your own children, but to enhance and inspire them.
+ Isn't the sex ed my child gets (or will get) at school enough?
Maybe. If you've explored the sex ed curriculum your child's school currently offers, good for you! If not, you might be surprised to find most of what's out there is outdated, incomplete, non-inclusive and - at times - even inaccurate. Most alarmingly, it often fails to address the realities of today's changing world. Our kids deserve better.
+ How do I know my child is ready for THE TALK?
This is a big one. First, finding the "right time" is not an exact science. We do know, however, that the earlier we start talking openly with our children, the better.
Attempting to condense the emotional and physical complexity of human sexuality into a single conversation is an impossible task. And yet, that's still how many of us, and many of our schools, approach sexuality education.
What if we approached this nuanced topic, instead, as an ongoing conversation? What if we traded shame and fear for knowledge and empowerment?
All of that said, if you're still not sure, have concerns, or would like to know more, just reach out! We’re happy to talk.
