The Wheel of Consent® is a groundbreaking framework and awareness practice developed by Dr. Betty Martin. Since its inception, it has been brought into schools, universities, therapist programs, and organizations around the world and reshaped how therapeutic practitioners are trained. Helena has been offering this deeply nuanced way to practice consent for almost 10 years.
Engaging in this embodied practice brings deeper trust, integrity, responsibility, and empowerment into our interactions. Our application is wide, including the personal, professional, and global. It includes touch, relationships, power dynamics, and social issues of equality and justice.
The practice is simple. The impact is subtle and profound.
Through embodied experimentation we develop our capacity to tune into our bodies, notice ourselves and what arises in relational dynamics, and our ability to skillfully and gracefully navigate interactions and dynamics in intimate and professional relationships.
You will come away from this offering with a deepened ability to navigate consent in all your interactions, including these practical embodied skills:
໑ Create a felt sense of safety in your body and nervous system
໑ Connect to what feels good and brings you joy
໑ Notice, value, and voice what you want, what you are available for, and what you don’t want
໑ Notice your tendency to go along with what is being done and reverse it
໑ Be mindful of others' tendencies to go along with what is being done and respect their limits
໑ Access two ways to receive and two ways to give and feel the joy of each of these four possibilities for interaction
໑ Navigate power dynamics, trauma, and systemic oppression and their impact on our capacity to access choice and uphold boundaries (yours & others)
໑ Make choices that support your well-being and connection with others
໑ Express your desires, limits, preferences, and willingness with more nuance and play
Our increased awareness enables more authentic relationships centered in safety, clarity, and ease.
Applied professionally, it makes us more effective practitioners, able to affect human change and healing, honouring the dignity of our clients without burning out.
Applied personally, it allows us to access deeper self-trust and more meaningful connections.
