The Shodhini workshops are NOT a clinic or DIY Gynecology
We are becoming Shodhinis to create an autonomous body of knowledge, accessible and relevant to feminist women, masculine of center womyn, transmen, and gender non-conforming individuals. In essence, we are developing our own radical health and sex education with a holistic self-help foundation. We are preserving the hard work of our predecessors of the feminist movement, our ancestors, and tuning into our own current experience.

"A historical paradigm shift is unfolding that has been centuries in the making. No longer conforming to antiquated notions of 'a woman's place', Waves of wimmin around the world are reclaiming their power and contesting patriarchy by breaking free from their circumscribed place of subjugation. Shodini's comprise a part of that revolution by creating a safe and supportive space for genuine sisterhood to unveil deliberately controlled knowledge about our bodies and our health. One of the most profoundly significant ways to meet your most innermost self is by meeting, establishing an understanding of, and maintaining an ongoing relationship with your cervix. This training provides some basic tools that need to be shared to educate, elevate, and empow the wimmin in our communities. Become the change you wish to see, become a Shodini."- Shodhini Cohort 8
