Participants are expected to engage in guided research between sessions. You'll be given prompts, resources, and reflection tools to help you explore each month's focus in a way that’s personally meaningful. Your role is to come prepared—ready to share your insights, perspectives, and questions with the group. This is not a passive lecture. This is active work. What you bring into the space will shape your experience and the group’s collective growth.
Whether you’re new to Leather or deepening a long-held identity, this program is designed to support your self-inquiry, community connection, and intentional embodiment of the Leather journey. Drop-ins are welcome, but for those seeking a deeper transformation, we strongly encourage a year-long commitment. The full arc of the program offers a cumulative and nuanced understanding of Leather—and a clearer sense of your place within it.
DISCLAIMER: This is not a lecture or history heavy course, although historical and societal references will be offered in order to reflect, discuss and research effectively.
