UP NEXT from LAST: Book Club and CNM Group and Price Cuts, Oh My!
Summer is heating up, and our schedule is, too. If you're trying to stay inside and keep cool, but have the itch to be involved with a like-minded community, we've got just the ticket!
The heat has arrived, but here at LAST we’ve got some pretty ~cool~ ways to keep yourself connected and growing. If you’re anything like us, you may find that these long months can be a time of transition, and reflection. Perhaps it’s a residual effect of 12 years inside of a system that trains us to tingle with anticipation between June and August, or perhaps it’s the added sunshine, but whatever it is, it can be a fruitful, joyous time to consider where we are, and where we want to go.
How about you—have you found yourself considering a career pivot? Have you had notions of changing things up, following a passion you’ve perhaps had simmering on the back burner? For many students of our Pleasure Psychology Sexology Training & Certification Program, it was questions such as these that ultimately led them to the pursuit of a career as a certified sex coach or sexologist. For others, armed with previous experience as coaches or therapists, they wanted to develop and expand their specialty into the world of sex and sexuality, all the while learning to “dismantle their own internal stories of shame around sexuality, and then gaining insight on working with clients.” Regardless of whether you’re looking to develop your own personal relationship with sex and sexuality, or to develop your business around helping others understand, heal, and thrive with theirs, this program has something for everyone. It is 100% virtual, rolling admission, and self-paced, and now, prices have been SLASHED on all three tiers, plus CEU's—some of which are now even free!
