Ace&Aro self-love poetry workshop (Feb 11, 2-4:30pm) -- no ASL interpretation

For this Sunday's in-person meetup for ace and/or arospec (and questioning folks), Toronto Aces & Aros is bringing you a poetry workshop about self-love by one of our members. Free to attend and no prior experience necessary!

(We will be rescheduling the zine-making for another time when we can arrange ASL interpretation.)

Self-love poetry workshop Sunday, February 11, 2024 (2-4:30pm) 519 Church St., room 304

** Workshop Description**

This workshop (by Jamie Quinn Mader) allows participants to explore poetry & creative writing around self-love by crafting love letters to ourselves.

So often love poetry is about obsession with romantic partners or people we wish to be with. This poetry focuses on our relationships with ourselves and invites participants to think of themselves as desirable & loveable to ourselves.

This workshop guides participants through a few activities to help them:

to understand the mechanics of poetry

to foster a sense of compassion and care for themselves rather than a romantic partner.

Participants will be able to work with their peers as well as present any works they want to share.

** Accessibility at the 519 **

ramp to enter, power doors, elevator inside and accessible all-gender washrooms

near Wellesley station (which has an elevator)

we ask everyone to wear masks

Is there a difference between grey-romantic and grey-aromantic?

Both grayromantic and grayaromantic mean a romantic orientation between aromantic and romantic, where someone feels romantic attraction sometimes, infrequently or rarely. Some people who identify as grayromantic, or grayaromantic, don't know if they feel romantic attraction, often because they've never experienced it. They may or may not be open to the idea of romance or a romantic relationship.

Most people do not make a distinction between grayromantic and grayaromantic.

Personally, I am grayromantic and I use that term, for myself, over grayaromantic. Because I feel slightly closer to romantic than aromantic!

Ace Fact Image Set (Part 2 of 2)

[ ID: An image set with the demisexual flag, a crumpled paper background, and a gray square in the top left with different facts. Each fact is labeled with a number in the bottom right.

“#06 Ace Fact: Demisexual people don’t think they’re better than allosexuals. Not experiencing sexual arousal until I have a close, emotional bond isn’t something I choose and doesn’t mean I think I’m better than other people. It’s just how I’m wired.”

“#07 Ace Fact: Demisexuality is different than being allosexual. There’s a difference between being sexually attracted to someone vs. wanting to have sex with them. Allosexuals can experience that attraction but can choose to wait; demisexuals just don’t experience that attraction until there’s a close, emotional bond.”

“#08 Ace Fact: Demisexual people still experience stigma like asexual people. Our relationship with asexuality is different, but we still experience stigma, alienation, and the messages that we are abnormal or broken. It’s important for demisexual people to have a place in the ace community.”

“#09 Ace Fact: Demisexuals need a close, emotional bond to experience sexual attraction. This is based on our own personal experiences and is slightly different for everyone. Emotional intimacy is often a main component.”

“#10 Ace Fact: Gray-A is not the same as demisexual. Gray-A people don’t normally experience sexual attraction, but they can sometimes and may or may not act on it, or only under limited/specific circumstances. This is different than demisexuals, who only experience sexual attraction after forming a close, emotional bond. Both are valid.” ]
