Art of Consent
The
The Wheel of Consent and Consent for Students
Wheel of Consent
online introductory workshop
Weds 15th & Weds 22nd March
7-9pm (GMT) both evenings
This is a 2-part introductory workshop to Betty Martin’s Wheel of Consent, in which we will focus on the key teachings of the Wheel:
-
An understanding of the Wheel as a cutting edge communication tool, based around asking the questions: 'Who is doing?' and 'Who is it for?'. This creates four dynamics or quadrants of experience, each of which has a different flavour, and requires a different type of consent agreement
-
A solo practice called ‘Waking the Hands’ which enables us to bring more awareness of our relationship with our sense of touch.
Who is this workshop for? This workshop may be for you if you:
-
Are interested in co-creating a culture of consent
-
Would like to learn methods for clearer communication in all areas of life.
-
Are interested in techniques for self-regulating the nervous system.
-
Might be interested in taking our full weekend workshop and who would like to get a flavour of the Wheel first
-
Would like to learn about the Wheel of Consent in a setting where there will be no shared touch.
Workshop Facilitators:
Rupert James Alison and Rose C Jiggens
What is the Wheel of Consent?
Dr. Betty Martin’s Wheel of Consent is a cutting edge model of consent which distinguishes between the ‘doing’ aspect of an interaction - who is doing; and the ‘gift’ aspect - who it is for. This creates four dynamics or quadrants of experience, which occur all the time in human relating, and are of particular importance when we interact physically.
The Wheel is also an embodied practice, which invites slowing down and a deeper noticing of our feelings and bodily impulses in relation to our sense of touch.
