Coming Out At Any Age: A Free Class for Lesbian, Bisexual, Pansexual, Queer, and Same-Gender-Attraction-Curious Women

Join us for a FREE class on Thursday, December 1, 5:00-7:00 p.m. Pacific Time. (Please adjust for your local time zone, if necessary). Registration is required. Sign up here!

Guest speakers: Lisa Madsen and Shari Gerstenberger, Certified Conscious Girlfriend Coaches, interviewed by CGA Director Ruth Schwartz. 

We'll be talking about the following topics, and more:
 

- Do you feel attracted to both men and women, and not sure where you fit in the lesbian or queer community?

- Are you new to being a lesbian or queer woman, and trying to get your bearings, understand your new life and sexual orientation?

- Do you struggle with coming out to family or friends?

- Do you wonder whom to date or how to date in the lesbian/queer world?

- Do you lack sexual confidence with women, and wonder how to gain it?

- Do you wonder if you're "really" bisexual or queer, and how to know?

- Or do you feel sure you're into women, but wonder how to make the transition away from relationships with men?

About the speakers:

Shari Gerstenberger

Certified Conscious Girlfriend Coach Shari Gerstenberger has a special focus helping women claim their bisexuality or queerness. It can be challenging to feel "queer enough," take your bisexuality seriously, feel entitled to take on the label queer (and/or deal with your discomfort taking the label on), navigate relationships with lesbians who may be scared of your being bi and/or men who don't honor all of your desires, as well as deal with coming out to people in your life, and much more. Shari is here to help! She has traveled her own journey to claiming her bisexuality as a "straight-passing," feminine-appearing woman, and has been in a relationship with a lesbian for 4 years now. Shari is a certified Conscious Girlfriend coach and also a certified Somatica Sex and Intimacy coach.

Lisa Madsen

Coming out later in life? That's a special focus for Certified Conscious Girlfriend Coach Lisa Madsen. She combated her own intense internalized homophobia at 21 when she had a completely unexpected, powerful and magical sexual experience with a close female friend, had relationships with women, then married a man and lived a hetero life for decades before coming out again in her 50s -- so whether you're bisexual as a final destination or claiming your lesbian sexuality after years of straight life, or anywhere in between, Lisa can help. She's a compassionate, warm, funny, knowledgeable, and licensed therapist with many years of experience, as well as a certified Conscious Girlfriend coach. 

This empowering, compassionate free class WILL be recorded, but it's best to attend live if you can, so you can get your questions answered and enjoy being part of our beautiful community!

Please note: this class/chat is for all self-identified women and adjacent non-binary people who love women, or want to. If you identify as male, please respect the fact that this event is not for you.
