The Talk:A Group Discussion Series on Sexuality: Rediscovering Your Desires

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 @withwillowstar

TICKETS ARE PAY WHAT YOU WANT:) If you are able to contribute to the work/the space/the food & drink in any way, you can pay any amount you want via card machine, Bizum, or cash at the event in person. OR you can donate at Eventbrite checkout - it does ask you to add at least $1 to complete the reservation.

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.

Willow will provide plenty of examples, while inviting you to share your own experiences, either altogether or in small groups. It is never mandatory that you share and you do not have to join the group discussion by talking. All I ask is that you listen respectfully. Since this is not a "TED talk" format, you will be able to connect with others, 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.

Since it will be night time in February (cooold!), we will be inside the top floor of Vibrart, and you can still go out to enjoy the views on the rooftop if you want. It's very cozy. Wine, water, and snacks are provided.

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.

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.
