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. 

​

The Wheel of Consent, developed by Betty Martin, is a wonderful framework and practice to help us ask for what we want and disrupt patterns of going along. This workshop is not about consent in the way we have been taught to understand it, but about making agreements that allow for expressing our desires and noticing our limits. Experience the joy of receiving exactly what you want, and giving with a full, authentic yes!

​

I’m so excited to bring this work to the Hudson Valley, New York City, and beyond! I am training to become a Certified Wheel of Consent Facilitator and am currently offering shorter introduction classes and two-day workshops, and hosting monthly practice circles.
