The Wheel of Consent: Desire, Empowerment & Choice

This is an AASECT approved CE course – 1.5 CE Credits

This course is for: Sex Educators, Counselors, Therapists, Coaches and Bodyworkers.

This course discusses the Wheel of Consent, which is a model of consent based on (but not requiring) exchanges of touch. The Wheel notes the distinction between the ‘doing’ aspect of the touch dynamic (who is doing) and the ‘gift’ aspect (who it is for). Once the distinction between those two aspects is clear, the entire touch dynamic becomes clear, which brings ease, sensuality, confidence, self-responsibility and freedom to the interaction. When the dynamics are clear, it becomes apparent how they apply to both touch and non-touch dynamics. Indeed, the application to non-touch dynamics may be of greater import.

This class is experience based. The videos guide the practitioner through a series of somatic experiences in which the distinctions become clear. This allows them to apply the principles to their client sessions and offer it as a practice for their clients to take home. Click here for more.
