Level: Outing
Casa Rosa is opening up their spaces during Gentse feesten for the public and so we had the idea of an open workshop for members as well as non-members. This as an outing.
The workshop will be co-hosted by Andy& Steven. Andy has facilitated workshops in several S+ & tantric events and will facilitate touch& contact exercises. Steve will lead the talk on consent. Curious to find out what energy will be created.
Boundaries are the distance at which I can love you and me simultaneously.” – Prentis Hemphil
Our personal space is part of our sense of safety. How do we keep & hold that safety intact? How do we hold enough space for ourselves without loosing heartfelt connection with others? When we value loving ourselves first, we are able to consent wholeheartedly to what someone else desires or asks from us and still keep in touch with our own and other people’s boundaries. This can only happen when we are able to express our consent, for what we want and what don’t want, be present in our bodies. Consent is creating a space to listen to what someone else is trying to express, a space where we can be vulnerable.
In this workshop we will talk about what consent means and what it means to us personally. We’ll talk about how we can learn to set and receive verbal boundaries by doing some basic exercises. There will be a lot of attention for our body awareness. What happens in our bodies when we say yes or no? What happens when we receive a no? We’ll learn about asking and respecting consent in several contexts. How do we use consent in more intimate settings? We’ll do some contact exercises, cuddling may be a part of this. We’ll talk about consent. Everybody who doesn’t feel comfortable in doing this, is free to opt out at any time during these exercises.
The workshop will take approx. 1,5h. After the workshop we are opening up the place for a drink and a little bite, feel free to stay and chill.
