Wheel of Consent 2 Day Workshop

Mary Hart and Roxie Jane Hunt invite you to a 2 day workshop on the Wheel of Consent, which is a powerful tool to improve the quality of your relationships and your touch while creating clear agreements so you can experience satisfying connection to yourself and others.

About the workshop

The Wheel of Consent grew out of the lineage of consensual touch practices for those seeking an embodied experience of navigating consensual touch. It has evolved to be an exploration of agreements beyond touch through the nuances of receiving and giving. In this workshop, we aim to provide you with new tools and practices to create safe-enough protocols and agreements to negotiate your needs for touch, connection, agency, and intimacy with others.

This is a clothes-on workshop. Participation in any somatic and touch practices is completely optional. This workshop is not about sex though can be applied to all relationships.

Who is this workshop for?

This workshop is for people who:

• Want to learn new skills for negotiating touch, relating, and intimacy
• Are single, dating, partnered, poly, monogamous, married, or divorced. The Wheel of Consent is about much more than sex and intimacy.
• Know there is something more meaningful in intimacy and relationships, but have no idea where to start looking for it.
• Are interested in practicing new ways of receiving and giving
• Are looking for experiences of relating that are both connected and boundaried.
• Often feel depleted or unsatisfied after connecting and want to feel replenished and satisfied
• Are new to the Wheel of Consent

This workshop is about:

• Gaining communication skills– noticing, valuing, and trusting desires, having the courage to ask for what you want, and having the courage to set limits.
• Exploring YES and No somatically
• Building self-trust and why that is important for trust inside of relationships
• Waking up the senses so we can explore feeling and following pleasure
• Making choices – learning about personal agency and how to choose for yourself
• Understanding the nuanced dynamics of Receiving and Giving
• Understanding consent and clarifying who is doing what, and who it is for.
• Learning the difference between giving and doing, and active versus passive receiving
• Increasing ability to receive (and why that is important)
• Decreasing risk of consent injuries and providing a common language for communicating consent.

The Wheel of Consent has been developed by Dr. Betty Martin who is a former Chiropractor and currently a sex and intimacy coach, sacred intimate and sexological bodyworker. Check out her free video resources on her website: bettymartin.org
