People with disabilities face a lot of challenges, not the least of which is the lack of good sexuality information and support. (Although The Ultimate Guide to Sex & Disability has lots of great info.) I just found out about a free group that’s starting up in Berkeley.
Here’s the info:

Faciliator: Rafe Eric Biggs, Ph.D. is the founder of Soma Evolution an organization committed to generating transformative change. He earned his doctorate in Organizational Psychology from Alliant International University and is a Master Somatic Coach from the Strozzi Institute. In 2004 Rafe had a life altering experience.
