We welcome you to join us for The Wheel of Consent Temple. The Wheel of Consent is a powerful embodied consent practice which goes beyond other models of consent by clarifying four different kinds of consensual interaction.  Each of them feels different in our body and requires a different kind of consent agreement to be made.  These four dynamics apply to all areas of life, including with friends, family and colleagues, as well as in our most intimate and sexual interactions.  The Wheel of Consent therefore serves as a basis for building a broader culture of consent within all our communities, and particularly our sex-positive ones.

In the afternoon you will be have the opportunity to ‘wake up the hands’ - a solo practice which is the core of the Wheel of consent. You will also be invited to observe and experience each of the Wheel's four quadrants, through exchanges of simple, non-sexual touch. Any shared touch is optional and you will be supported to be in consent at all times. 

For the second half we will guide people into a co-created space of play, alone and together. During the Temple part of our time together we will guide the group towards a consensual co-created space of play: solo and/or with others.  Throughout, you will be supported to use the Wheel as a foundation and gateway into solo and shared physical touch, if that is your choice, to whatever degree of sensuality, sexuality or simplicity you feel drawn.

This Temple is open to everyone. It is an excellent intro for beginners and re-fresh and reminder for those who are more experienced in Temple spaces of Sacred S*xuality.

Further information: 

This Temple is open to everyone and a certain level of awareness, openness and willingness to explore is essential for your own self-care and also the synergy of the group.  

We invite you to come, just as you are and feel. We know that being in these environments can bring up a lot of emotions. This is a safe space to welcome them and work with them in an embodied, held and ritual temple space. The evening will be held throughout.
