Nourished Heart Collective

Liberatory Consent Workshop Series

Enthusiastic Consent is no longer the gold standard. Liberatory Consent, an embodied, social-emotional framework, is a practice built on set of progressive skills. It will take you beyond consent for harm reduction and into a practice of consent for more deeply authentic relationships.

Insights and theoretical knowledge are helpful, but not enough to create change. We need to practice skills and build capacity in order to create the equitable relationships we want. In this course, you’ll be invited into experiential learning activities that will help you notice and communicate your limits and desires, create space for your partners to do the same, and continuously co-create agreements about shared activities.

Meet your facilitator

Sam (she/they) is a facilitator who fosters a culture of inclusion, bodily autonomy, and interdependent care. With a focus on body-mind connection and a trauma-informed lens, they hold space for somatic, experiential learning in their workshops. They’re a Certified Authentic Consent Facilitator with the Atlanta Institute of Tantra, an alumni of the Consent for Educators Program with Consent Wizardry, and a lifelong learner and fellow work-in-progress. Their work is informed by experiences in queer and "in-between" identities, including in bisexual, gender-expansive, queer-relating, mixed race, Vietnamese-American, and cross-cultural communities.

“Made me really think about the places we all give and receive from subconsciously, and consider expansive frameworks for communicating with those close to me even beyond physical intimacy.”

-Kiko

“A highly inclusive and accessible class on consent.”

-Workshop participant

“What resonated to me the most was…getting to practice these and really feeling what that felt like in my body...I think these ideas could help those in my community get more in touch with themselves, what they really want, have more self-understanding and be able to communicate more effectively and have more honest and positive relationships.”

-Elena
