Consent has been a popular topic of conversation this year. Learn how to assert your boundaries - and be sure you're respecting others' boundaries. No touch required.
Description:
Consent has been a major topic of conversation in the past year. Physical touch provides an excellent workshop tool for practicing how to give, deny, negotiate, and revoke consent - and how to manage your feelings when others do those things to you. We'll take a very "training wheels" approach in this session, with structured activities and discussion. At the end of the session, those who consent will have some time to cuddle with each other.
No sexual interaction will be allowed during this workshop.
Touch is not required, but you will be asked about touch by the facilitator and other participants as part of the activities in this workshop. "No" is always an acceptable answer to these questions - and some people come to this workshop especially to practice their no. Coloring books and blankets will be available for people who aren't interested in cuddling other humans.

Description:
Consent is a popular topic of discussion, and there’s some reason to believe it’s not well understood throughout popular culture. Physical touch provides an excellent workshop tool for practicing how to give, deny, and revoke consent – and how to manage your feelings when others do those things in relation to you. We’ll take a very “training wheels” approach in the session, and then those who consent will have some time to cuddle with each other. Physical contact with others is not required for participation. No sexual interaction will be allowed during the workshop.
