This workshop guides you through practices of the Wheel of Consent® so you can feel it in your own body; the Wheel of Consent is learnt best by experiencing it.

You’ll explore how to…..

bring attention to sensation in your own skin for greater access to pleasure and choice
notice and trust your desires and limits, and practice how to communicate them
move away from 'going along with’ and towards what you actually want
experience ‘receiving’ and ‘giving’ separately, to explore the difference and know why this matters
practice 'two ways of giving' and 'two ways of receiving' and how these expand the possibilities for pleasure
experience each of the four quadrants of the Wheel of Consent.

The core practices of the Wheel are based on exchanges of touch and can also be explored without touch. We’ll offer options, and you choose what’s best for you.

In this workshop 'touch' is explored as separate from 'sex'. As adults, many of us experience 'sex and touch' as intertwined. This can make it difficult to explore 'touch' free of sexual connotations or expectations. The Wheel can offer great insights on sex and play, but that's a different workshop! This workshop has a non-sexual focus, and clothing stays on.

There are many ways to participate, opting in or out of activities, working solo or with others, with touch, or no touch, taking time to journal, or rest, and changing your mind along the way.

We will support and encourage you to take care of your own needs and preferences throughout the workshop. Choosing is more important than doing.

You can read about us (Stella and Tia) below, and how we facilitate. There will also be an assistant in support of us and of the group. They are experienced in the Wheel, and we will introduce them closer to the workshop.

*Please read the section on 'Payment Options' below before choosing your ticket from the sliding scale.
