This two-day workshop aims to be a brave space for discussing topics related to exploring boundaries with embodied consent and negotiations. Participants have the opportunity to learn and exchange ideas through various activities, such as group discussions and role-playing scenarios.
A portion of the workshop will allow for non-sexual touch.
Group limits state that clothes will remain on and there will be no request for genital or explicitly sexual touch. No one is required to participate in anything they do not feel comfortable with and we have an alternative exercise prepared.
During the workshop, if feelings of arousal arise, we ask that you do not follow them.
CONTENT WARNING: Due to the nature of the topic, links to sexual assault and rape may be brought up in discussion. While most consent failures don’t end in sexual assault, every sexual assault is a consent violation. This is why it is advised to consider a community care plan for before, during, and after. Some thoughts to consider: What makes you feel good? What might help you reduce tension during the workshop? Having snacks or a tasty drink in your bag? Taking care of your hunger or thirst beforehand? Hanging out with friends after? Having space to decompress after?
These workshops are open for all adults. The venue has gender neutral toilets.
Small snacks and drinks will be available. Food will also be available for 100kr. Funds go directly to support the chef.
This event is made possible in part by Tenthaus. 100% of the cost of attendance goes directly to support Clare Zhou. Please see Sliding Scale Payment for Workshops and Coaching.
