Are you ready to explore the nuances of embodied consent, preparing for a deeper, more connected experience in sensual and kinky spaces? Embodied Consent: Boundaries and Desires (a vetting workshop) is a hands-on, participatory workshop designed for individuals interested in future kinky and sensual gatherings at The Forest Haven.
Rooted in the BDSM ICAARE consent model, as practiced at the Touch & Play retreats, this event brings together elements of somatic awareness, voice, and conscious kink to create a supportive space for practicing authentic, embodied consent.
In this 3 hour workshop, you'll learn how to:
* Identify Boundaries and Desires: Dive into your personal wants, limits, and motivations for interaction. This includes practice in feeling safe to give and receive a clear "no," a curious "maybe," or an invitation for a different interaction.
* Engage in Safe, Interactive Demonstrations: Experience real-time scenarios such as "Can I lick your face?" and practice responding from an empowered, bodily-aware place with responses like, "No, but I'd like it if you kissed my hand."
* Ask the Right Questions and Embrace Authentic Connection: Understand how to initiate and maintain dialogues around boundaries, aftercare, and relationships outside of a given connection.
* Explore Community and Self-Perception: Reflect on your own identity and the communities you align with, enhancing clarity on how these aspects shape your boundaries and desires.Through interactive demos, exercises, and open dialogue, Embodied Consent: Boundaries and Desires (a vetting workshop) creates an environment that blends authentic relating practices with the BDSM ICAARE framework, emphasizing:
* Clear Boundaries and Safer Practices
* Intentional Communication Around Desires and Motivations
* Capacity for Aftercare and the Role of AgencyWhether you're familiar with consent practices or new to conscious connection & kink, this workshop welcomes all experience levels. Join us for an opportunity to deepen your capacity for conscious communication and embodied awareness in a warm, judgment-free environment.
