GERI and Genderworks, a locally based non-profit organization, are proud to collaboratively offer this workshop as part of the 2026 Artscape Women’s Humanity Festival. The GERI program is an experiential process that brings together men and women, and people of all sexual orientations and identities, to speak their truth and collectively confront gender injustice. Participants are invited to listen deeply to each other, speak their truth and collectively examine their social conditioning. In this way, they develop a mutual understanding of their social conditioning that leads to renewed hope for gender relations, and awakens new levels of mutual compassion, respect and understanding.
The process creates a safe space for breakthroughs in individual transformation and community healing—by working skillfully with participants’ lived experiences in relation to gender and sexuality. Together, women and men of all sexual orientations enter into a deeper understanding and mutual appreciation of their own experience and journey, and also awaken greater compassion, empathy, and understanding of others’ gender-based experiences and challenges.
