College Programs

All of my programs can be delivered virtually or in person. My leadership is trauma-informed, respectful of disability, LGBTQ affirming, and inclusive. Review some favorites below. Click this link to see the full list.

My Mother Doesn’t Know I’m Kinky

This theatrical solo show delves into themes of empowerment and self-acceptance. It’s presented in up to four short acts with facilitated Q&A and discussion. Reviewers and audiences have called it an “intoxicating” and “complex journey” that’s “brave, truthful, funny and sexy.” Rita Lawrence at the University of Florida hosted the show and said, “For colleges working to fill the deficit of knowledge about healthy sexuality, I recommend Jean as a resource!”

Friendship Yoga

This interactive workshop is designed to help students deepen their social skills and build campus community – all while having fun. The flow of activities is a proven method for practicing vulnerability and safe connection at each student’s pace and comfort level. No yoga experience (or flexibility of any kind) is required.

Disrupting the Power Dynamics in Hollywood

Jean is part of a pioneering group that has become Hollywood’s first Intimacy Coordinators. She’s also an Intimacy Director for theatrical productions. In this workshop, students can learn the step-by-step process of creating safe and memorable intimate scenes, witness firsthand what it might be like to direct an intimate scene, and observe a mock rehearsal of an intimate scene from a play.

Cuddle Sanctuary

Laughter, friendship and fun. This is the heart of Cuddle Sanctuary. Cuddle Sanctuary is a workshop and social experience that creates a safe environment for practicing consent, boundaries and choice. There are lots of options for participation and absolutely no touch is required. Students practice what they learn with exercises and activities.  (The title of this event can be adjusted, if need be, to suit the culture of the university.)

A Sex Talk for Wizards

In this workshop, students will learn a variety of strategies to support their sexual decision-making and self knowledge. Topics include body image, nervous system awareness, boundaries, safer sex communication and more. Harry Potter references – nostalgic for the early days before She Who Must Not Be Named began commenting about gender – can make this interactive experience especially fun. Students’ privacy and comfort levels will be honored in an inclusive learning environment. Robes and wands are welcome!
