Embodied Consent Dojo + Snuggle
Somatic Tools for Boundaries, Connection, and Safety
Tues Nov 12th at EBCS

Join us to take the consent conversation to the next level! We’re creating a new paradigm where consent goes beyond just finding verbal agreement with another and includes dropping deeply into our bodies, energy and emotions to find true alignment on all levels of our being.
Although we may be subscribing to an agenda of what we think we want, the wisdom of the body is expressing, moment by moment, the truth of our boundaries and desires. Interacting with consent requires that we are present with our bodies, know our boundaries, can clearly communicate them, and have them be respected by another individual.
Consent culture is among the most important conversations happening today, and within the foundation of of consent, safety and attunement, we’re learning how to express our desires, receive another’s desires, and share connection.
The first half of this event is an experiential workshop where you will:
* Learn the language and tools to create a consensual interaction
* Feel “Yes”, “No”, and “Maybe” in your body and learn how to listen to these messages
* Explore how to create and communicate strong, clear boundaries
* Practice communicating a desire, receiving a desire, saying No and receiving a No
* Hone your attunement to the body’s cues around consent through nervous system co-regulation and limbic entrainment
The second half of this event is a SNUGGLE PARTY where you can put what you’ve learned into practical action in a fun, connected space.
The purpose of Embodied Consent is to provide an embodied understanding of consent so you can trust yourself to be safe, to communicate and receive boundaries, and to open into the love, intimacy, and fun of mutually consensual interactions. These practical tools are especially useful for navigating snuggle parties, tantra workshops, dance floors, and play spaces.
What this workshop is not
A group therapy space or place to unpack deep trauma. While all of our work is deeply informed by somatic psychotherapy and trauma healing, given the group setting and limited timeframe this is not the space to actively process trauma. If trauma arises in the space, it is welcome and will be met with great care and attunement.
Is this for me?
No prior experience necessary – just an open mind and an excitement to explore with us! We create a strong container where you are safe, resourced, and secure. We’ll give you the opportunity to go deep into your experience while following what feels just right for you. You’ll be invited to share touch with other participants, though by no means will be required to do so. Open to singles, couples, triads, etc… and people of all genders and orientations. We support our whole community – low income application form: https://goo.gl/15aWoA
