First MUSAS Peru Workshop on Gender and Sexuality
MUSAS Peru held our first workshop on gender and sexuality on the 25th of March. I was blown away by the fact that the majority of the 16 participants from this Catholic university were queer. They were a feisty group--not afraid to share their stories of pain and triumph. They were also on top of the latest theories of gender and sexual identity. I was impressed!!
We used tonglen meditation, theater games, drawing, and other creative techniques. We created a safe space where students were able to play hard, go deep, and express themselves. I was thrilled to meet so many courageous, young Peruvian queers. I left the workshop feeling high about the healing, transformational, revolutionary work we are doing through MUSAS Peru, in educating and empowering women and the queer community on issues of gender, sexuality, and sexual health--musasperu.org.
