Consent and Movement
Consent represents our connection agreements.
In negotiating consent we navigate power differentials, differences in personal needs and desires, and the overlap in our timing.
We humans desire and depend on many forms of connection with each other.
People and experiences will come toward us that we can choose to say ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to.
If we reposition ourselves in time and space we’ll have different opportunities.
Beyond choosing between ‘yes’ and ‘no’, we can follow curiosity by moving our bodies to shift our relationships with others.
Would you like to explore this more?
I’d like to propose an Embodied Consent resource and research group.
My intention is to further our understanding, facilitation, and communication around consent from a somatic viewpoint.
My call to you is to join in the sharing through zoom videoconferencing and a google group, or to join an email list of people who want to stay informed about what comes up.
