WHEEL OF CONSENT
The Wheel of Consent changed my life! Learning and practicing the Wheel gave me access to my pleasure, my preferences and my desires, and helped me to find my “no.” I went from a lifetime of longing, to a deeply embodied understanding that what I wanted was available to me, I just had to ask. The more and more I work with the Wheel, I'm finding that it is a practice of becoming trustworthy, both to myself and to others. This work has been transformational to all of my relationships and the learning can be applied anywhere.
​
I’m so excited to bring this work to the Hudson Valley, New York City, and beyond! I am currently training to become a Certified Wheel of Consent Facilitator.

The Wheel of Consent, developed by Betty Martin, is a wonderful framework to help us ask for what we want, find our pleasure, and deepen our capacity for intimacy and compassion. The Introduction to the Wheel of Consent workshops are an ongoing practice of noticing and choosing, and will combine embodied practice with learning, reflection and sharing. This workshop is not about consent in the way we have been taught to understand it, but about making agreements and noticing our boundaries, feeling into our yes and paying attention to our no. You will be able to participate by doing or observing, and request that the exercises be nontouch, if preferred. ​​
