Do you struggle identifying and naming your needs and wants? Do you find accessing your "no" or accepting "no" challenging? This course will support you in learning to recognise your boundaries, and in practicing communicating them, in a welcoming and well-held environment.

What is Consent?  

Consent is an ongoing, embodied practice of relational decision-making. It starts with our inner dialogue. When we encounter external suggestions and requests, they prompt a response in the form of bodily cues and thought patterns. Gradually, we will learn to direct attention to these patterns, identify, and interpret them to guide us in decision making.

This will support you in accessing your “no”, showing up authentically, kindly and honestly in relationships - overall, summoning more of what makes you feel happy and fulfilled.

In a small group of up to ten participants, we will go at the groups' pace, learn terminology and orientation around consent and boundaries, and do low-stake exercises in pairs or small groups (for example: practice saying "no" to requests, and responding to "no" with gratitude). 

The course will be facilitated by Tom Krasny (he/him), a queer, trans, neurodivergent Glasgow based artist and community organiser who is passionate about non oppressive ways of relating.

Tom's teaching approach is mindful of access, is trauma informed, aware and respectful of cultural differences. If you have any questions, you are welcome to DM on Instagram at @stirring_the_sauce or email the Wee Retreat Studio at info@theweeretreat.co.uk  

This workshop is for:

Queer, trans and questioning folk, and cis straight women who wish to learn and enhance their practice of accountable, emotionally present communication. 

Recommended minimum age is 25 and over. If you would like to sign up and are under 25, please get in touch and we have a conversation to see if it is a good fit. 

Cost: sliding scale £60-£75 for a series of six classes.
