About Somatic Consent
Founder of Somatic Consent
Meet Matthias Schwenteck
Matt is a German-born citizen who has been traveling and teaching internationally since 2010.
He is a trained facilitator in the fields of Sacred Sexuality and Tantra, and has been working with different healing modalities such as counseling, guided meditation, and bodywork, for over 20 years. His sessions and teachings are grounded in a background of trauma research and neurophysiology.
Matt considers himself a student of life, and finds himself inspired by everything that resonates with the key values of connection, transformation, and love. In his unending search for authentic experience, Matt has walked many paths, including those of Tao yoga, shamanism, and energy work. In 2011, he found his calling within somatic practices and consent, and has been studying and fine-tuning this work ever since.
Matthias developed the Somatic Consent Engagement System in 2019, and has dedicated his life to guiding thousands of people through this evolutionary process in settings that range all the way from festivals, to workshops, to professional private sessions.

Intention
I have been on a journey of personal and spiritual development for more than 20 years.
I am not a doctor or an academic in any sense. I am a student of life and curious about what works in day-to-day encounters and on my soul’s journey of being here in this life and sharing my gifts with the world.
I am an explorer and discoverer, a pioneer of unwalked territory. I am talented at connecting dots and ideas that resonate in my cellular system, in my mind and body, and sharing this with the world in different forms.
I was one of the co-founders of the School of Consent in 2018 and co-created curriculums for courses to educate consent facilitators around the world. For five years, I was studying and embodying the somatic dynamics of consent and facilitating sessions and workshops for individuals, couples and groups, and then educating facilitators on how to teach this transformative work to others. I am proud of what we achieved and now my intention is to deepen in my teaching journey and educate about consent with my own projects here on Somatic Consent.
I am wholeheartedly dedicated to sharing this work with the world in empowering ways that serve the purpose of transformation for individuals, people and the collective.
I am a fan of open source resources. In that spirit, I am sharing my embodied knowledge and practices of Somatic Consent through a variety of free resources, including a Student Handbook, Waking up Pleasure in Your Hands + The 3 Minute Game Online Course, and a series of videos. These resources are free of charge for anybody to access, use and share in whatever way they choose. Take a look here.
My purpose is to inspire love, connection and healthy sexuality. Wherever you are on your journey, I hope you can use the tools to deepen your experience of life.
I am looking for collaborators who are inspired to translate and facilitate this transformative work in different languages. I invite you to reach out if you are interested.
