This Wednesday is already the last one of the month! Which means it is time for my monthly online event – Soft Touch Intimate Craft Crossover. This month, the theme is zine making. Without fully knowing that is what I was doing, my friends and I made our first zine in 1991 with a typewriter…
As a student of somatic sex education I find myself prompting students and clients to notice sensation in their bodies in the ways that I have learned to practice through studying in this field. It took me some time to get to the place where I could understand that the assignment was often just to…
A few months ago my pierogi (a term of endearment for one of my polyamourous partners) Caitlin, came to Jess and I with an idea. The progressive church, Open Way, where they are co-pastor curates a community building, educational offering each year, focused on a different matter of collective liberation.

Next month, rather than planning a 3rd Wednesday afternoon Craft Crossover (especially because the 3rd wednesday is the 25th) I’m cooking up something else instead. I’m trying doing 2 different times, one in the afternoon and one after my kid’s bed time. I hope that y’all will join me to explore and practice tools and…

As you probably know, we offer this to folks on a sliding scale. We know that there are significant, compounding axis of…
I have been having a lot of fun so far this year working on my Halloween costume, which, to be real, is mostly a very intricate hat. But, as I am taking cues from my daughter who says, “for halloween, I am always the main character, papa is the goofy guy i meet along the…
Hello kind internet friends,I know I have not been doing the best job keeping things up to date here on the website front- I have been as trapped in the dopamine & engagement mines as the masses, but am often annoyed & discouraged by the ways that algorithm driven platforms that have the user reach…
Hey folks, I haven’t been keeping up with posting here as often these days. For all the reasons, the algorithm pages and my supporter sponsored Patreon get all the freshest news and updates, and it can take me minute to bring the news over to these parts. First thing, you might have gotten an email…

Here on the west coast, we barely have much of a Canadian winter, a couple of days of snow, a few blustery rain stormy days, and then… just like that, flowers are popping up, buds are appearing on trees and bushes and the length of days stretches noticeably on both ends. As things are pushing…
