A Wheel of Consent ® Workshop | The Art of Receiving and Giving

The Wheel of Consent ® is a groundbreaking framework and awareness practice developed by Dr. Betty Martin. The practice is simple, subtle, and profound.

You will come away from this offering with a deepened ability to navigate consent in all your interactions, including these skills:

໑ Create a felt sense of safety in your body and nervous system
໑ Connect to what feels good and brings you joy
໑ Notice, value, and voice what you want, what you are available for, and what you don’t want
໑ Notice your tendency to go along with what is being done and reverse it
໑ Be mindful of others’ tendencies to go along with what is being done and respect their limits
໑ Access two ways to receive and two ways to give and feel the joy of each of these four possibilities for interaction
໑ Navigate power dynamics, trauma, and systemic oppression and their impact on our capacity to access choice and uphold boundaries (yours & others)
໑ Make choices that support your well-being and connection with others
໑ Express your desires, limits, preferences, and willingness with more nuance and play

What participants say about this retreat:
“Life-altering”

“It’s truly transformational work and so necessary for the healing and growth we are in desperate need of.”

“I know myself WAY more. I am trusting my impulses, my no’s and yes’s and I am able to voice them more clearly now. I am grateful for this modality. It is a gentle, deep, and foundational piece for creating healthy, safe, and intimate relationships with oneself and others.”

“I’m bowled over at how much richness I received from this course. THANK YOU! The enduring piece was HUGE. To see everyone’s hands go up in that 3rd session was a real eye-opener for me. Another thing that struck me was realizing that saying NO provides such freedom for the other person, if I can just get over myself and not worry about hurting their feelings, it can provide a fertile container of new imaginings of what to do together! I felt some hard NO’s this week in my body and had the courage to just say it. The freedom here was realizing that I am actually SERVING them as well by saying NO.”

“Deeply grateful for the workshop last weekend. It has been sitting with me all week. The content and my experiences have made their way into many conversations since…I feel very inspired by my experience!”

“A spa for the soul.”
