Early bird registration $25 until September 21. $30 after. Does saying no have to be this hard? Maybe it’s time to learn another way.
Saying “no” when you mean it is vital to any relationship, romantic, sexual, or platonic. But the dominant culture bypasses boundaries at every turn, leaving us feeling as if there’s no other choice but to endure what we don’t want or risk hurting someone’s feelings.
Yet when we only give in to what another wants without considering our needs, we lose access to our centre and the choice that is available there.
This workshop offers somatic practices and inquiries grounded in teachings around consent and voice. Together, we’ll explore a framework to help you find your boundaries and name them in a low-stakes setting so you can grow more comfortable saying no when it really matters.
What you’ll learn:
How power and relational dynamics can prevent you from fully expressing a no
Verbal and nonverbal ways to say no (including some that require zero confrontation)
Somatic practices to retrain a healthy fight response to better express your no and stand up for yourself
How to receive no from another person (because let’s face it, sometimes that is hard too)
Expect a mix of teaching, partner practice, and solo practices.
I’m Sonja Semyonova, a somatic intimacy educator with 20+ years of study and practice of the body, healing, and intimate connection.
