A 3-part Findhorn weekend workshop exploring the Wheel of Consent®

How to attend this Findhorn workshop:

This workshop is structured to give you choice over how much you attend, depending on your availability or interest level.

You have the option to engage over an evening, a day and a half, or the full two and a half day weekend.

So you can choose to come to one, two or all three parts. Each part builds on the one before so you need to have attended the previous one also (ie you need to attend Part 1 if you want to attend Part 2).

Explore the details of each part below, and then complete the booking form at the bottom of this page to register for the parts you're interested in.

Find out more about each part of the workshop:

Choose Part 1 (Friday evening): if you would like to find out about the Wheel Of Consent, and learn a simple, powerful tool for opening your connection to sensation in your own skin, without the need to touch anyone else. Click below to read more about Part 1.

Part 1 - Wake Up Your Hands!

Friday 4 October, 1900 - 2200

Your hands contain more nerve endings than almost any other part of your body.

They are the perfect conduit for you to connect with others more meaningfully, and consentingly.

Yet you’ve probably never thought of them as much more than tools to achieve tasks.

Waking up your hands is the key to becoming more connected with yourself, with what you want (and what you don’t), which can ultimately lead to more engaged and consenting interactions and relationships.

Waking up your hands is the first step in learning the Wheel Of Consent – a simple, powerful navigational tool which allows you to bring choice and clarity to your interactions with others.

What will happen?

This evening workshop is a safe, gentle mix of theory, discussion and practical solo exploration. Begin to unlock your connection with sensation. Lay the foundations for improving choice and intimacy.

There will be guided opportunities for exploring touch using your own body, but you won’t be invited to exchange touch with anyone else.

You will:

Learn how to experience sensation, and enjoyment, in your own skin in a way that you can access any time you choose.
Increase your capacity to notice, and learn from, your own impulses
Explore your relationship with pleasure when there’s no-one else involved
Find out about the Wheel Of Consent, and how it can be helpful as a tool to navigate relationships

You can choose this as a standalone session, without attending the rest of the weekend.

This is the perfect introduction for you if you want to improve your relationship with touch, or to learn a little about the Wheel Of Consent, but aren’t ready to jump straight into a fully interactive workshop.

Choose Part 2 (Saturday full day): if you’d like to learn the essential tools, practices and theory of the Wheel of Consent, with an invitation for interactive (clothed, non-sexual) touch. Click below to read more about Part 2.

Part 2 - Wheel Essentials

Saturday 5 October, 1000 - 1800

Building on the practical experiences from Part 1, and starting to introduce the essential elements that make up the Wheel Of Consent, this 1-day ‘hands-on’ session will help you to:

Get clearer about what you do and don’t want.
Practice making choices and agreements.
Learn to communicate your needs and desires more easily

What will happen?

When you touch another person, is it for you, or for them? Can you tell? Does it matter?

Understanding and embodying the Wheel of Consent happens best through a somatic experience – you have to feel it. Therefore, this workshop invites you to learn through touch-based exercises. You will:

Improve your connection with your hands and how you experience sensation
Learn the essential framework of the Wheel of Consent and experience its four Quadrants (Taking, Allowing, Serving, and Accepting) as a foundation for connection
Start to become aware of your desires and limits, and learn how to make choices about what you do with them
Practice communicating what you do and don’t want, and making agreements about the interactions you have.

There are opportunities for exchanging touch as part of the learning, but it is never required. You are welcome to watch the entire time if you like, and this experience can be just as valuable. The workshop is fully clothed and non-sexual, and it will always be your choice if, where, and how you touch or are touched.

If you want to attend Parts 2 you’ll need to attend Part 1 first
