ABOUT OUR PROGRAMS
Freedom Empowerment Group for Kinky People
Facilitated by: Xio & Nika Cherrelle | Brought to you by IISE in Collaboration with the Ethology Community & The House of Cherrelle.
The Freedom Empowerment Group is a sex positive, kinky, and queer group that offers support and camaraderie to folks who have lived through and suffered from shame. This group’s mission is to provide a safe and confidential space for like-minded and alternative individuals to share and live free from shame. Together we can overcome the shame that has shrouded us from the freedom to be ourselves and be truly proud. What is a shame support group and how do you know it will help you? Shame can rear its head in many ways. Did you grow up surrounded by a conservative family? Maybe religious ideals made you feel wrong? Did you suffer through a person who sexually shamed you? We are here as folks who have suffered at the hand of shame and want to create a safe space to grow together and begin to heal.
We hope you will join us and feel loved and supported for the people you are and will be as we heal together to heal the shame we have all been tormented with.

Embrace Yourself Empowerment Group
Facilitated by: D. LeVaughn
This group is a community lead group open to everyone, and we’re here to support each other in building a foundation of self-love and resilience. It’s about learning to be your own best friend, finding fulfillment within yourself, and nurturing a sense of self-worth that doesn’t depend on external validation. When we embrace our own strength and individuality, we create a solid, unshakable core that remains steady even if love or acceptance from others isn’t always returned. Here, we’re all on a journey of self-discovery, growth, and acceptance, so you never have to feel alone or unworthy.
