Workshop : À corps consentants – Body, Consent & Empowerment

Objective

Why does consent, a concept that is relatively easy to understand in theory, seem so difficult for most of us to apply in relationships? How can sensitive listening to the body help us deepen our connection to our true “yes!”, our “no,” and our “maybe”?

The tools we will explore during this workshop come from disciplines that examine the question of consent and touch from a somatic base, such as somatic sex education, contact improvisation dance, and conscious communication.

Our workshop aims to help participants clarify their intentions in physical contact and explore the different aspects involved in order to move towards more informed consent.

Content

The structure of our workshops alternates between moments of connection to the body, through grounding, breath, and movement—the presentation and practice of tools related to consent (both verbal and non-verbal), alone and in duet, as well as moments of integration and group sharing.
