EndoWrites: Pleasure — A Virtual Writing Workshop with ME X The Endometriosis Network Canada
Register today!
Hello, friends!
I interrupt your regular programming with a very special and exciting announcement.
Registration for my writing workshop with The Endometriosis Network Canada is open!
Come spend an afternoon writing with me and talking about PLEASURE.
If YOU are someone with endo or know someone who is, then this is definitely for you:
Join us virtually on Sunday, March 19, 2023 from 3 to 5 p.m. ET for Endo Writes with writer and endometriosis advocate Maia Leggott (that’s me!). This writing workshop will focus on something that often gets buried or forgotten altogether when you live with endo: pleasure.
To register, please fill out the registration form by Friday, March 17, 2023. The Zoom link will be sent to you on the day of the workshop, as well as any info you might need.
This is a free event! If you are interested in donating to The Endometriosis Network Canada, please visit: endometriosisnetwork.com/donate. The work they do to support people with endo in Canada is pioneering; I literally owe my life to this organization and the people I’ve met because of them.
Please note: The information presented in this workshop does not provide or replace medical advice. It is important to follow up with your doctor with any healthcare concerns you may have and to work with medical professionals to develop treatment plans that are right for you.
If you have any questions, please contact me at hiya@maialeggott.com or reply to this email.
Meet your facilitator
Maia (they/she) is a Toronto-based queer writer, creator and endometriosis advocate whose passion lies at the intersection of chronic illness, sexuality, gender, mental health, relationships, stigma, and shame. They write a weekly newsletter called Sex, Drugs & Endometriosis that shares shameless stories for sick humans. She also explores pleasure and sexuality on MakeLoveNotPorn, a social sex-sharing platform, and OnlyFans.
Maia believes that allowing pleasure into our lives, especially when we have endometriosis, is essential in maintaining a sense of identity when chronic illness can strip it away. They are loud, vulnerable, and shameless about things we’ve been taught to keep quiet and will always encourage people to talk about hard things.
