We recognize that healing and growth often occur within a community. This workshop provides a safe space to explore your reactions and responses in relation to others, highlighting how shared experiences can enhance your understanding of consent. A portion of our workshop includes platonic (non-sexual) touch exercises, with clear boundaries: clothing remains on, and no genital or explicitly sexual touch will be involved. Participation is always voluntary, and alternative verbal exercises are available for those who prefer them. Should feelings of arousal arise, we ask that you simply acknowledge them without acting upon them.

Content Warning: Given the nature of the topics discussed, issues related to sexual assault or rape may arise. While not all consent violations result in sexual assault, every sexual assault involves a breach of consent. We encourage participants to have a community care plan in place for support before, during, and after the workshop. Consider what helps you feel comfortable and supported—perhaps bringing snacks, arranging for a post-workshop decompression space, or spending time with friends.

After purchasing your ticket, you will receive a PDF guide closer to the workshop date. Please take some time to read this document beforehand to maximize our group activities and discussions.

Join Us for a Shared Experience:
Consent is a journey that involves both individual and collective efforts. After our time together, the kitchen and bar is open to stay and connect. This is a unique time to help process and integrate the experiences of the workshop.

We look forward to exploring these important topics with you in a respectful, engaging, and supportive environment. Let's learn together, grow together, and support each other on this journey of embodied consent and personal empowerment.

(This workshop welcomes all adults. Please note that while the venue has gender-neutral restrooms, it is not universally accessible due to steps at the entrance. We apologize for this limitation. For any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us.)
