(Re)Learning to Listen to Your Body for Embodied Consent
ZoomCity
Duration: 90 minutes
Educators:
Topic: Connection
Type: Workshop

Throughout our lives, starting as children, we are trained to ignore our bodies. You are often woken up before your body is ready to get to school, then forced to sit still for prolonged periods, eat at designated times, and ask permission to go to the bathroom, sometimes denying those needs. While it’s one thing to consent to these dynamics as kinky adults, it’s another when we are disconnected from our bodily cues due to years of (non-consensual) conditioning.
In this space, we will begin to explore embodiment practices that can help you learn to get back in touch with how your body is communicating and to find your embodied yes/no so you can increase your bodily awareness and capacity for pleasure, joy, and consensual play.
