Conscious Lesbian - Queer Dating and Love Metro Phoenix

Lesbian dating can be challenging.
Lesbian relationships can be challenging.
Lesbian sex can be amazing... and challenging.
🖤
Here's the thing. Straight people get constant practice and reinforcement. But where on earth do you, as a lesbian or queer woman, get a supportive place to practice:
... Asking a woman out.
...Letting her know you're interested, or not interested.
...Asking for something different in the connection.
...Letting her know more about your needs, including your sexual needs. ...Making requests.
...Setting boundaries.
...Bringing up something that's bothering you.
... Sharing what you really feel, without fear.

"I knew more about growing organic broccoli than I did about how to choose a partner and make a relationship work," one of our members said ruefully after her expensive lesbian divorce. She wasn't alone. There hasn't been a place for our community to learn this stuff... until now.
In Conscious Girlfriend Academy's weekly Dating, Love & Connection Skills Lab, you'll get to build and practice the skills you need in a compassionate, supporive, low-stakes environment (as opposed to with the person who matters most!), so you can:
🖤 Stop stuffing your feelings or hoping they'll go away (because that will never ultimately get you what you want.)
🖤 Stop saying things that push the other person away, when what you really want is to connect.
🖤 Avoid triggers and endless "lesbian processing loops."
🖤 Pay attention to dating red flags and look for true compatibility.
🖤 Get good at turning tough conversations into easier ones, so you can create the connection, love and sex you've always wanted. (By the way, these skills work great with friends, too.)

Why The Coming Out & Coming Home Group Exists

.. Because coming out can be one of the biggest, hardest, bravest and most important things you'll ever do.
... Because being your authentic self is key to a life well-lived, but it's almost impossible to get there without support.
... Because you deserve help from a warm, compassionate global lesbian community.


...Because it's never, ever too late.
... Because there isn't just one way to come out, or one way to be a lesbian or a woman-loving-woman.
... Because everything you've lived through has led you to this moment, and your time is now.


... Because lesbian dating is very different, and knowing how to do it right is key to avoiding heartbreak.
... Because lesbian relationships are more intense, and require some very specific skills to stay afloat and connected.
... Because lesbian sex can be the most amazing sex on the planet, but it's also way more varied and nuanced, so it takes building confidence, attunement, and bedroom communication skills.


... Because you deserve an open-hearted refuge, a place where people "get" you, accept you, appreciate you and cheer you on.
... Because the lesbian community is diverse, full of its own history, cultures and customs, and this is a safe place to learn them.
... Because there's nothing better than finally being loved for all of you you are, and are becoming.

... And, this group is offered by the Conscious Girlfriend Academy, the leading global resource helping lesbians and queer women prevent heartbreak, date wisely and love well. We wrote the book on lesbian dating -- literally! You can start reading our Amazon bestseller Conscious Lesbian Dating & Love right here.

## Longtime Lesbian Or Newly Out, Single Or Coupled...This Sexual Compatibility Class Is For You

Learn what really makes sex vibrant between women, how to find, recognize and tend a great sexual relationship, and what to do if it feels like you've lost the spark.

This live-on-Zoom class is on sale for just $25 (normally $50!) You must >register and pay here on our website (a Meetup RSVP alone won't get you in.) It's taught by seasoned lesbian educator Ruth L. Schwartz, Ph.D., founder of the Conscious Girlfriend Academy, the leading global resource helping lesbians and queer women prevent heartbreak, date wisely and love well.

Ruth says, "My own lesbian marriage ended because we couldn't keep our sex life alive. After my divorce, I studied sex coaching for three years at the Somatica Institute, with Jaiya Ma, and elsewhere, and I now have radical new ways of understanding what sex really is, how it actually works, why it can be hard to keep it alive, and what to do about it. I'll never know if my marriage could have survived if I'd known then what I know now, but I sure wish I'd had the chance to find out. That's why I'm so passionate about teaching this class!"

### What You'll Learn

• What sexual compatibility really means in women loving women relationships, and how to spot red flags and green lights early.
• Why Lesbian Bed Death (lesbian/queer couples who stop having sex) is so common, even when the sex was great in the beginning, and what to do about it.
• How to handle it when one partner in a long-term lesbian couple loses interest.
• The unique challenges and opportunities in lesbian or queer sexual connection.
• How to talk about sex and intimacy from the beginning of a lesbian relationship (and why you should)
• How to broach the topic and get help, even after years of hurt, confusion, anger or scar tissue buildup around absent or unsatisfying sex.
• How to keep sex strong even as aging or other life changes impact your body and desire.

***

### Who This Class is For

• Lesbian or queer couples (or individual members of a couple) who feel their erotic energy or connection has faded, and want to bring it back.
• Lesbian or queer singles who've struggled with sexual compatibility in the past, and want tools to make sure that doesn't happen in the future.
• Lesbians or queer women (and adjacent non-binary people) who worry if there's something wrong with your libido or turn-ons, and want to feel more comfortable and confident.
• Women-loving-women who know you love sex and want to keep having it, but struggle with a body changing due to menopause, medications, aging or illness.
• Queer women who miss having great sex in your relationship, but aren't sure what to do.

### Expect laughter. Expect relief. Expect aha moments.

### Leave feeling more whole, because empowered sexuality is part of wholeness. Great for singles or couples.
