Join three dozen enlightening and influential thought leaders of the sexuality, sensuality, and spirituality fields for the SEX+ Summit, scheduled Oct. 2-4, 2020. This one-of-a-kind immersive digital event allows you to explore the wellness world’s most current offerings through engaging panels, at-home experientials, and expert guidance – offering a uniquely fulfilling and connective experience you can enjoy from the comfort and privacy of home.
Hosted by experienced sex educators and cultural event producers, the SEX+ Summit brings together some of the brightest and most engaging experts, practitioners, and healers whose work intersects sexuality, sensuality, and identity. This weekend-long digital event centers Black, queer, non-binary, and non-Black POC voices to foster essential conversations about sex, sexuality, and spirituality often left out of mainstream wellness and sexuality spaces.
Joining the SEX+ Summit are Sexuality Doula Ev’Yan Whitney and author, LGBTQ+ advocate, and pundit Jeffrey Marsh as keynote speakers, with Black Feminist folk-healer Jade T. Perry hosting a sensual group tarot reading to kick off the event. Panelists include astrologer Dayna Lynn Nuckolls of The People’s Oracle, Body Relationship Coach Ivy Felicia, trauma expert and queer media consultant Jimanekia Eborn, activist and artist Sean Saifa Wall of the Intersex Justice Project, therapist and radical body acceptance advocate Sonalee Rashatwar, President and CEO of SIECUS – Sex Ed for Social Change Christine Soyong Harley, and many others.
“The SEX+ Summit is dedicated to topics often left out of mainstream wellness and sexuality conversations and makes them accessible online from the comfort and privacy of our couches. Now more than ever, we need events like this to connect with the people, tools, and practices that help us navigate this transformational time in our lives,” SEX+ Summit co-host Anne Hodder-Shipp said.
“We wanted to create a space that feels safe, supported, and inspiring for attendees (and us!) to expand their views on sexuality, be introduced to embodiment practices, and explore their own relationship to pleasure, healing and self-care,” SEX+ Summit co-host Sarah Tomchesson said.
The SEX+ Summit is for anyone that shares a passion for self-care and sensual exploration, as it provides connection and community at a vital time. This weekend-long digital event dares you to open your mind and find a new comfort zone while exploring some of the most powerful, interesting, and exciting offerings available. Each workshop, panel, keynote, and at-home experiential is specially produced for digital engagement with a mix of live discussions, and downloadable content and activities you can enjoy at your leisure.
“There is nothing better than seeing people, especially Black people, be themselves and/or regain confidence to be their sexual selves,” said Nhakia Outland, MSW, founder of @prevention_is_key and @preventionmeetsfashion and SEX+ Summit panel speaker. “We are learning to defy the stereotypes and negative views about our bodies and love and embrace our sexuality as Black people.”
“I always say, if sex is food, then sensuality is its flavor,” said Elle Chase, CSE, sex educator, body acceptance advocate, and SEX+ Summit pleasure workshop host. “I love how sensuality is so dynamic, diverse and distinctive, and I'm always astounded by the myriad ways it shows up for us throughout our lives.”
The SEX+ Summit also connects attendees with the wellness world's in-demand services – tarot, astrology, breathwork, sex toys, herbalism, and more – with a hand-picked marketplace of makers, artists, service providers, and brands who represent the latest and greatest in sexual and sensual wellness.

“It's an exciting time to be a part of the SEX+ Summit,” said Tracy Felder, pleasure product educator and SEX+ Summit pleasure workshop host. “It means that there's a great shift in diversity and how society is ready to be educated with folks that relate to them daily when it comes to sexuality. I'm happy to be a part of the movement.”
The SEX+ Summit is scheduled Oct. 2-4, 2020, 2020, online.
