Let’s Talk About Sex

  • Wednesday, May 21 · 12:00 - 1:30 PM (EDT)

Consensuality Workshops

Experientials that Challenge Awareness

  • Consensuality is an amalgamation of the words Consent and Sensuality. Consensuality emphasizes relationship enhancement and focuses on improving verbal and non-verbal skills for navigating the challenges and opportunities of sensual, intimate and vulnerable interactions. In this full day workshop, we will increase mindful awareness of our own needs and limits and the ability to effectively express them, while simultaneously increasing our awareness of the needs and limits of others. We challenge you to examine the many intimate and powerful nuances of advanced consent through a unique blend of experiential exercises. Join us in manifesting cutting-edge consent dialogue into powerful interpersonal connections. Let’s use consent to enhance sensuality.

A sampling of workshop topics:

  • Explore nuances of advanced consent (non-verbal consent, consent over time, revoking consent)

  • Improve your awareness of moments of choice, agency and responsibility

  • Enhance your ability to be emotionally courageous and vulnerable

  • Explore aftercare: social ruptures, transgressions and compassionate repair

  • Apply consent skills while enhancing intimacy without a chilling effect

  • Utilize consent with greater awareness of privilege, equity and inclusivity
