The Talk: A Group Discussion Series on Sexuality

Join me in Barcelona every month at the VibrART studio rooftop to discuss everything you never had the chance to learn while growing up in a world where sexual messages are EVERYWHERE yet sex is too taboo to talk about openly. This time we're talking about all things DESIRE 🔥

Facilitated by psychologist and sex therapist, Willow Star. IG @itswillowstar

This event offers a safe space to share your thoughts, experiences, and questions in a supportive environment. Whether you're curious, confused, or confident about your sexuality, this group discussion series is for you.

All genders, sexual orientations, relationship styles, single or partnered are welcome. I encourage you to invite partners and friends, or come alone and make new ones while you're here!

Willow leads the group through a discussion about desire, why it ebbs and flows, and the different types, like responsive and spontaneous. You will leave understanding how you experience desire and what to do if you'd like to experience more of it in your day-to-day. You will also be invited to write down a few answers to short prompts so that you can take your learnings home after the event.

How we experience desire impacts our our self-esteem, our sex lives, and the way we relate to our bodies. Willow will provide plenty of examples, while inviting you to share your own experiences, either altogether or in small groups of 2 or 3. It is never mandatory that you share, though it is encouraged:) Since this is not a "TED talk" format, you will be able to connect with others about their experiences and faulty education, while leaning on Willow as a guide to lead you.

We take a 10-minute break halfway through so that you can refill your drinks, snacks, and mingle.

Understanding your sexuality is a lifelong journey and no one expects you to have all the answers. These talks provide a supportive environment in which you realize you are not alone in your doubts, insecurities, fantasies, or experiences.

We will be on Vibrart's beautiful rooftop, so bring a sweater in case it gets chilly. Wine, water, and light snacks will be provided. I also encourage you to bring a notebook and pen.

Hi! I’m Willow. My undergrad degree in psychology is from New York University. I hold two masters degrees: one in Sex & Couples Therapy and another in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I’ve been teaching university students in Barcelona for the last 3 years, most notably in my course The Psychology of Human Sexuality.

✨What fills my cup:

👉🏻When my students and clients realize that their bodies, desires, boundaries are not only normal but to be celebrated.

👉🏻When strangers become friends thanks to a judgement-free space in which they feel encouraged to be their authentic selves.
