Vino & Vulvas®:
Feminine Rising

Write your awesome label here.
This kick ass panel is jam-packed with some of our MOST REQUESTED panelists! We discuss Feminism, patriarchy, femme identity, gender and the social construction of it, racial implications… all the big stuff that seems to be writhing as a collective rage of Kali energy rising that is particularly stirred up at this point in time. This talk is cathartic, powerful, analytical, and authentic. This to say… we do our very best not to stay in the rage… we round it out. :) Promise.

What's included?

  • One hour panel discussion
  • 45 minute anonymous Q&A with live audience

Who is this for?

Vino & Vulvas is always open to all genders, ages (18+), orientations, and races. We strive to be as legitimately inclusive as possible. Know that when you come to V&V, we’re trying hard to avoid heteronormative, cis-normative, white supremacist, sex-negative, patriarchal bullshit. 

About Vino & Vulvas®

We provide an open space for talking about challenging topics that are often taboo. We meet in a public venue to get out of the shadows and create an open community where all of us (women, men, genderqueer, trans, gay, straight, bisexual, experienced, newbies, kinky, vanilla, young, mature, all races etc.) can laugh and learn more about our sexual selves. We can start to bridge the gap between sexual healing practices, medical sexual health, and sex therapy. It's sure to be an exciting journey. Get comfy and and enjoy some edgy, inclusive, and informative conversation.
Meet the Host!
