This training is for all facilitators, educators, practitioners, bodyworkers and therapists of all disciplines and modalities, who would like to expand their professional toolkit with consent-informed leadership, or integrate consent into their existing work.
It is also suitable for individuals who have done significant personal development work and feel called to offer transformational spaces for others, either in group facilitation or working one-on-one with clients.
If you are wanting to join this training purely for the personal transformation it offers, you are also warmly welcome.
The Somatic Consent Year Training is for you if you are ready to enhance your hands-on skills, upgrade your emotional and somatic intelligence, and improve your consent communication skills, while learning how to support others to do the same.
The Somatic Consent Year Training is a deep dive into yourself within a community of like-minded explorers.
Together we take this transformative journey of self-discovery and professional empowerment.
At the peak of the training, you’ll embody the ultimate skill—the ability to gift your power to others—holding them fully in their experience of transformation.
During the training we’ll practise with each other. In this way, you’ll also have the experience of being held, receiving the gift of power from fellow trainees, in order for you to explore your truth.
This journey opens up the most intimate love, care and connection that life can provide.
This certification training qualifies you as a listed Somatic Consent facilitator and practitioner within our community of experts.
It equips you with the embodied knowledge, skills and support to lead the following Somatic Consent workshops and sessions, either in person or live online:
Facilitate a four-hour introductory consent workshop, leading a group in a playful exploration of their desires and limits. This workshop teaches the basics of Somatic Consent – how to make requests and agreements based on consent, and how to tune into an authentic “yes” and “no”.
As an Empowerment Practitioner, you offer one-on-one empowerment sessions that enable individuals to have an embodied experience of their somatic inflow and to ask for exactly what they want to receive.
Guide a group in this two-and-a-half day workshop – using a blend of theory, demos and partner exercises – enabling participants to increase their somatic sensitivity, explore the difference between giving and receiving, practise making agreements and learn how to communicate desires and limits.
Teach people life-changing relating skills in this four-day workshop with a focus on emotional fluency alongside personal and spiritual development. Participants will explore more advanced two-way touch and discover new depths of self-awareness when engaging with others.
You will be part of a strong container facilitated by Matthias and supported by an amazing team.
The training will include:
Matt Schwenteck is originally from Germany and he embarked on his personal development journey in 1997 at the age of 29.
Through his own practice and first-hand experiences, he has developed a deep commitment to communication, love, and personal empowerment.
As the creator of Somatic Consent, Matt established the first Consent Academy of its kind, offering groundbreaking teachings in the realms of pleasure, conscious development, and holistic sexual healing.
Having travelled to over 50 countries, he has had the privilege of learning from esteemed leaders and teachers in these fields, becoming a pioneering figure in the world wide arena of consent, empowerment, and de-armouring.
With a focus on supporting conscious change-makers and professionals, Matt has trained thousands of individuals and practitioners worldwide, sharing his expertise at international events and providing guidance on conscious leadership, relationships, and personal transformation.
Through his consent and trauma-informed facilitation, he helps people overcome self-sabotage, low self-esteem, and limiting beliefs, empowering them to live pleasurable, authentic, and purpose-driven lives while making positive contributions to society.

You will receive a certificate of attendance providing you attend all modules and online sessions of the Year Training. To certify as an Empowerment Practitioner, you must give at least ten empowerment sessions. To certify as a Foundations of Enhanced Pleasure Facilitator or 4 Pillars of Relating Facilitator, you must teach at least five workshops (live or online) and you must assist Matt in teaching one workshop. Completion of this online training does not automatically lead to certification; experience and demonstrated competencies are also required. Once you feel ready, you initiate a certification call with Matt (included in the training fee). Once certified, you must have two supervision sessions (paid) with Matt per year to keep the certification active.
The exercises vary from energy (no physical touch) to more intimate, sexual journeys. Exploring your erotic self is a part of the training but sexual activity is never obligatory. Consent, boundaries and choice are an inherent part of every exercise. We create a safe container for emotions and triggers that come up during the training.
Yes, you can still join the training if you are unable to attend one of the modules. We are aiming to repeat the training each year, so it might be possible to join the module in the following year. Depending on your skill and experience level, we can explore possibilities for you to cover the material you miss and still be able to certify. This is not guaranteed though.
We know it can sometimes be difficult to express your limits if you don’t want to work with someone. But this is part of the practice. You are encouraged to honour and express your limits at all times.
We do not form partners or groups according to gender.
