This is a clothes-on workshop. Participation in any somatic and touch practices is completely optional.
This workshop is not about sex, though it can be applied to all relationships, including sexual ones. Modern life disconnects many of us from our sense of agency, our right to say no or feel our desires, and our ability to feel safe and settled.
This workshop is offered as a space and a playground that allows people to connect — or re-connect — with each other and with a sense of agency, rest, and trustworthiness.

I offer early registration pricing (see event listing for details).
I have a limited number of reduced-rate ($400) seats. Discounted rate spots are for folks who are experiencing financial hardships that would make the actual rate of the workshop inaccessible and we prioritize the discounted rate spots for folks who have marginalized identities that have impacted their financial access to income.

The Origins - Created by Dr. Betty Martin
The Wheel of Consent was developed by Dr. Betty Martin, a former chiropractor, and currently a sex and intimacy coach, sacred intimate, and sexological bodyworker. It was created in the context of consensual touch, but these practices apply far beyond touch, intimacy, and sex. They extend from work and feelings of safety to insight into power dynamics and finding more freedom.
