ABOUT US

Black Sheep Books, a community space and bookstore in Montpelier, Vermont, offers affordable radical and scholarly books, and hosts educational events on cultural and political topics. As an all-volunteer project, we are operated by a five-member collective hand in hand with a group of dedicated volunteers. Our principle focus is to provide access to anti-authoritarian Left ideas in a way that promotes intellectual debate and challenges today’s hegemonic culture.

We see print media and public talks as necessary for the development of critical consciousness and ultimately social change. Such engagement with the transformative power of ideas connects us to each other, helps us to understand our historical context, and guides us in action. This linking of past to present, theory to practice, is a crucial precondition for the emergence of a free and directly democratic society.

By creating this space in public, we strive to contest the depoliticization and alienation rampant under statist and capitalist social relations. We also aim to generate visibility for identities marginalized by normative values and systems of domination through providing community resources and a welcoming space in the context of our rural location.

Together with horizontalist social movements and political projects, bookstores, infoshops, and publishers, Black Sheep Books works toward an egalitarian, ecological, and nonhierarchical society.

Black Sheep Books is an all-volunteer, collectively run project specializing in radical and scholarly used books.

Holistic Sexuality and Radical Health
Date: 
February 15, 2010 - 6:30pm - 8:30pm

With Dana Woodruff and Katie Whitaker
Monday February 15, 6:30-8:30pm

In our culture that both obsesses over and represses our sexualities, we have a lot to talk about! This workshop is part anatomy class and part show & tell of natural products, sex toys and resources, with time for discussion. We will discuss self-care techniques for sexual health with an emphasis on deconstructing gender and sex roles in our culture. This workshop is meant to be inclusive and sex positive for all orientations, genders and preferences. Participation is encouraged!

Dana L Woodruff is a community herbalist, an organizer with the Northeast Radical Healthcare Network, and a member Vermont Healers. She teaches herb programs and classes on menstrual and sexual health.

Katie M. Whitaker is a community herbalist and a women's reproductive health advocate. She has worked as a sex educator at various sex positive toy stores and is the author of ”Reclaiming our Ancient Wisdom: Herbal Abortion Procedure and Practice for Midwives and Herbalists.”
