Once Upon a Woman returns to Richmond Hill, and this time, we're talking about sex.

Yes, sex!

But Beyond The Bedroom is about so much more than what happens between the sheets.

Because our stories about sex aren't only about sex.

They're about fertility and wanting a baby. Or not wanting one.

They're about consent and the moments when we found our voice, or didn't know we were allowed to have one.

They're about sexuality and discovering who we are and who we're attracted to.

They're about shame, trauma, intimacy, pleasure, desire.

They’re about our bodies. Our relationships.

And how all of it can change as we move through our lives.

Some of these stories are joyful.

Some are painful.

Some are complicated.

Some might even be really funny.

And some are stories women have carried quietly for years.

Those are the stories we’re bringing into the room.

WE’RE BACK IN RICHMOND HILL!

Beyond The Bedroom has a new home.

We’re heading back to Richmond Hill for this Once Upon a Woman, and while the address may look familiar, the venue is completely new.

ARCADIA CAFE & LOUNGE

115 York Blvd, Richmond Hill, ON

Same address. Completely new vibe.

The space has been completely reimagined, with a gorgeous atmosphere, a fabulous menu and the kind of warm, intimate energy that feels just right for Beyond The Bedroom.

Doors open at 5:30 p.m., so come early.

Grab a drink. Order something delicious. Catch up with friends. Meet someone new. Settle in and enjoy the space before the stories begin.

Then, at 7:00 p.m. sharp, find your seat.

It’s time for the stories.
