Somatic Consent
Professional Mastery

An advanced 5-day workshop for all touch professionals

Professional Mastery

Upgrade your professional practice by becoming consent-informed

Are you a touch facilitator or practitioner looking to take your skills to the next level? 

Join our 5-day Professional Mastery Workshop, a transformative experience designed for professionals like you. Whether you’re already experienced in hands-on work or just starting your journey, this workshop will enrich your practice with the tools and knowledge of Somatic Consent.

This workshop is a deep dive into consent-informed practice for everybody working hands-on with people in somatic healing, bodywork, coaching, counselling or touch-related workshops in a sexual or non-sexual field.

This workshop is not about bodywork techniques, but instead learning how to empower others to make choices, express desires and limits, and make clear agreements based on consent. You will learn how to give your gift of power to your clients for their higher good of healing and transformation.

This workshop includes five days of immersive learning and practice with the first two days focused on your own embodiment of the Somatic Consent teachings, and the last three days focused on the application of these teachings to professional settings (1-on-1 sessions and groups)

Why attend the Professional Mastery workshop?

This workshop will guide you through the Somatic Consent Engagement System, a powerful tool to improve the quality of your touch, up-level your communication skills, and create clear agreements, so that you can guide your clients and students into satisfying connection to themselves and others.

Who is doing the action and who is it for? Getting clarity on these two questions is essential if you use touch in your profession. You need to know the difference between giving and receiving. And you need to empower people to make their own choices so that they do not default to pleasing or going along with what YOU say or what they think you would like.

These teachings will enable you to create clear, strong and effective containers for transformation based on integrity and care.

Who is the workshop for?

This workshop is for professionals who work with people and need clear guidelines on consent-related themes such as boundaries, relationships, body ownership, sexuality, communication and touch.

It’s relevant for anyone who works closely with people, such as massage therapists, tantra practitioners, sex workers, doctors, psychotherapists, counsellors, coaches, educators and anyone holding workshops on themes related to touch and connection.

It doesn’t matter whether you are starting out as a practitioner or a well-seasoned professional; the learnings from this training will guide you deeper, with profound results for your clients and students.

What drew me specifically to this training was the direct link between experienced sensations and deep relational patterns. It is like a fun, pleasurable Sherlock Holmes path. So much vital information for life-expanding options. Especially the combination of theory, bodywork and the nervous system makes the knowledge so liberating for me.

I stumbled upon Somatic Consent by chance while taking your online class on Touch, Shadow, and Relationships. Your explanation of the Somatic Consent Engagement System and its connection to our behavior patterns when we don't get what we want or fail to say no struck a chord with me. It shed light on my passive-aggressive tendencies as a defense mechanism. Somatic Consent has allowed me to rewire these behaviors and reactions, helping me connect with my authentic "yes" and empowering me to assert my boundaries.

What drew me to this work is a combination of the following things: simplicity via the hands, focus on sexual/life force pleasure energy, and the neuroscience with it. That combination is just so much me, it felt like finding a soulmate in approach. It is a unique combination of theoretical and practical that nourishes both the academic in me and the practical energy body worker.

"I'm Vicente, a psychologist and relationship therapist. My goal in attending this workshop was to explore the teachings of somatic consent, particularly its connections to sexuality and politics. I was pleasantly surprised to see how strong the foundation of somatic consent is in these areas. It emphasizes not forcing or coercing anyone, which is a crucial aspect of consent. I've attended various workshops before, but somatic consent's focus on offering choices and possibilities to people resonates deeply with me, and I intend to incorporate it into my practice."
Vicente:
My journey with Somatic Consent has been a deeper dive into myself. I have noticed that since I started this practice a year ago I am feeling more in my body, even though other practices I am doing may well also influence this. I am interested in learning more in my mind but also through embodiment. I am feeling drawn towards being rather than doing.
Lisa Cleminson Grezo
I really appreciate the lens you are using and how you are connecting tantra and your experiences/training with the polyvagal theory. I love how you reframe the idea of being selfish and how it is good and important to do that when you have boundaries and agreements in place, and safety is maintained. Everything you said about embodiment resonated with me as well, and it feels really good to be able to trust a lot of things that I had been feeling in my body for some time and didn't fully understand. I also love your humor and authenticity.
Karina Perez
This practical, no-nonsense work really speaks to me. It provides a flawless framework, encompassing much more than touch, consent and intimacy. It takes you from the restraints of intellect to an embodied experience of life. From the roots of human nature and ‘shoulds’ of culture, to the science and spirit of human evolution—at all levels of being.
Nina Edmondson
"I'm Lulu, an educator and transpersonal therapist. I attended this workshop to deepen my understanding of somatic consent because I believe in its significance in improving the quality of our relationships. It's essential to comprehend the dynamics of human interactions, and somatic consent offers valuable insights into this. I left the workshop with a profound sense of self-awareness and recommend it to anyone interested in healthy interpersonal relationships.
