Embodied Consent Workshop with esmat ahmadian

Consent is one of the founding values of Village.Berlin. Being aware of your boundaries and expressing your consent or non-consent are essential skills in life. Our workshops often include partner practices and as such we'd like to make everyone mindful of these notions when they take part in them. This specific workshop is about learning to ask for consent, learning to express consent, learning to say no to a partner, learning to receive a no from a partner, etc.

This practice based workshop is specifically designed to engage the body and facilitate a felt and embodied experience of consent. We will exercise expressing and negotiating desires related to physical interactions as well as tracing boundaries and setting a frame to explore them. We will take time to listen and check in with how we feel and what we feel like and practice communicating about it. We will also practice saying « no » to what we don’t want. Step by step, we will create a negotiated space of permission to engage our body and interact with each other.

For this workshop the invitation is to create a game-like frame to practice consent, like a training; and to explore touch and physicality for what it is, not necessarily eroticized. In this way it could be a source of sensual pleasure or maybe an artistic expression, or a form of communication, and so on.

Whether you feel very familiar or rather new to this idea, it is always a good occasion to discover or deepen.

This event will be held in English.
