Intimacy Education: Consensual Non-Consent

Over dit evenement

Many people are curious about fantasies that revolve around power, resistance, or scenarios that resemble situations which would never be acceptable in everyday life without consent. Consensual Non Consent (CNC) is a form of negotiated roleplay in which all boundaries, limits, and agreements are discussed and agreed upon beforehand. While the scene may appear to involve a lack of consent, the consent itself is explicit, informed, and ongoing.

In this workshop, you'll learn how to create a safer framework for exploring these dynamics. Together, we'll look at physical overpowering, always at the pace of the person choosing to surrender control, as well as mental and emotional aspects of CNC. Through guided exercises, you'll have the opportunity to experience both roles while being supported by an experienced facilitator, creating space for exploration, communication, trust, and aftercare.

Quite a few intimacy spaces and workshops center couples, heteronormative and cis gender experiences. For me these experiences are part of a wide range of human experiences. I explicitly built my workshops out in a way to cater to a variety of relationships styles, intimacy orientations and gender identities. My expectations are a general respect for a variety of identities and expressions, and an openness for feedback while co-creating an affirmative space for all participants involved. If that resonates with you, I love for you to be a part.

Feel free to get a ticket to this workshop if you are 26 years old or older. If you are younger and would want to participate, please send me a message so we can plan in a video call. This is to make sure this is the right space for you at this time in your life, and to make sure you have what you need for safer participation.

For example:

Don’t hesitate to contact me when in doubt if the space is for you. If it feels like to big of a step to join solo, please let me know something so we can look for a solution. Next to being an accessible and friendly human, I have a broad network of intimacy professionals that are open to support people starting out in these spaces. These persons can form a duo with you for the workshop, for a financial exchange to be discussed between you two.
