CCA February Lunch & Learn | Older, Wiser, Sexually Smarter (Online)

Join us on Valentine's Day for this introduction to the idea of "sexual scripts" – ideals we learn in our formative years that not only instruct each of us how to think and feel about sex, but also condition how we act and identify as sexual beings.  Many life changes – the loss of a partner through death or divorce, the experience of a major illness, encountering different attitudes towards sexuality held by our children (or even grandchildren) – can call us to identify, challenge, and transform our sexual scripts.  Through reflecting on our own scripts, and comparing the scripts from two different societies, we'll explore the ways that these sexual narratives need to change as we age.

This livestreaming program can be taken from home or anywhere with an internet connection. If you register, you will be emailed viewing instructions either the evening before or the morning of the event. Please be sure to check “spam” and “junk” folders!
