ASSFest M25 Rim | Mindful Consent Intensive

*** An ASSFEST M25 Rim event - see here for ALL the juicy details! ***

Want to do a deep dive into consent for BDSM? Join Mistress Tokyo for a 4 hour intensive on the Mindful Consent model.

Mindful Consent is a powerful new framework, focusing on embodied consent and what can be understood about consent from the autonomic nervous system. We will define and describe consent, talk through what it looks like and doesn’t look like, and unpack how to negotiate it in a BDSM context.  We will also talk red flags and harm minimisation strategies.

Mistress Tokyo will also be presenting an 2 hour introduction to Mindful Consent at the ASSFEST M25 Immersion weekend. This intensive is a deeper dive into the material and an opportunity to immerse yourself in consent before attending the big weekend!

"If you are familiar with my work, know that I'm really excited to be presenting a totally brand-new component of Mindful Consent in Naarm at this ASSFEST. I look forward to working with all who join me for this immersive experience."
