Consensual Contact
Consensual Contact is the Foundation of all of my work and the first module of my Tantric Ecstatic Presence Teacher Training Programme. I have taught it to hundreds of people in a number of countries over many years, refining it into a magical piece of art. It produces profound shifts in those who take part.
Consent is most popularly considered to be relevant in our sex lives. While it is very important to our sexual health, it is equally significant in all areas where we interact. Increasing your awareness of Consent impacts virtually your whole life!
My Consent work is personal development rather than ‘how to write a contract’, or martial arts for safety. It’s Embodied Empowerment.
Consent is not about a No. It’s about a Yes. Verbal or non verbal. You have a right to make decisions about your own body/life at any point, at any time. Consent in everything is the aim, not an obstacle or barrier to a full life. It’s about communication, listening and openness. Consent is an evolving and alive topic which, although its core meaning remains the same, keeps evolving through generations as shifts occur within the power / oppression structures we inhabit.
Come and find out more about Consent and about Yourself, through my series of Immersions and Trainings.

Level 1: Self Exploration
Consensual Contact Immersion – 3+ days of self-discovery through verbal, physical and written exercises. Heart centred connection, personal enquiry, physical contact, sharing circles, movement and dance. The issue of what is Consent? What does Consent mean to me and how does Consent impact my life? Some of our issues around consent will be revealed. The work evolves from our relationships to the words No, Yes and Stop. It seems simple, but as human beings we are anything but simple. This is a powerful method to unlock some of our complexities and flourish. Safety is key. We will explore, create and experience the healing properties provided by our senses of safety. Change the way you communicate and it not only changes your relationships with others and your experience of the world, but also your relationship with yourself. Simple alterations in the way we speak, have the power to unlock myriad emotions, tensions, judgements, patterns, blockages etc. These restrict the way we show up in the world. The manner in which we live our lives totally correlates with our levels of enjoyment, health and wellbeing. |
Through simple exercises, we can make major shifts. By repetition we deepen our understanding and re-pattern ourselves into healthier lifestyles.
Major shifts in consciousness, understanding and behaviour abound! Come and change your Life into what you choose it to be! It is also playful and fun.
This Immersion is a stand-alone course that leads on to Level 2 - Practitioners Training.

Level 3: Teacher Training
This program will develop the energetic and practical skills to facilitate your leadership of the ‘Consensual Contact’ workshop. Initially working to facilitate in teams, moving toward full facilitation of the slightly abridged version of this workshop. Written notes, Music, Audio and Video reference materials will be provided. I view this as an opportunity not only to learn or improve teaching skills but also to continue our connections, being held and supported, healing and growing together. I intend to stay at the venues for this training, to be present, supportive and allow the richness to flow. I have so many gifts to offer and picture this as the space for exquisite nurturing and growth. Level 3 completes this certified module 1 of the Tantric Ecstatic Presence Teacher Training Course.

More Consent Musings:
For many, as we grow up, we are given rules to follow to ‘keep ourselves safe’. When a person with 'safety rules' experiences abuse, they are more likely to feel shame and blame themselves for what has happened rather than see the inappropriateness of the abuser’s behaviour. Victim-shaming and blaming adds a considerable burden to any trauma suffered. Understanding this can lead to releases.
