The Art of Consent: Embodied Practice

Service Description

This class is the pre-requisite to join Snuggle Sundays from 4-8 pm in the same ActiveSpace West Seattle location. Come for the class, stay for the snuggles! Art of Consent Workshop (2 hours) — Guided by Julz at Wild Nature Reiki, this experiential class explores how to build trust, clarity, and comfort through touch and communication — with absolutely no requirement to touch anyone. You can participate fully through observation, reflection, and conversation. In a warm, fully clothed setting with water, snacks, music, and blankets, we explore the Wheel of Consent by Dr. Betty Martin and engage in playful consent-based exercises like “No/Yay,” “The Answer is Always No,” and the “3-Minute Game.” Every activity is optional and designed to honor personal choice. Through guided discussion and embodied awareness, participants learn to listen to their bodies, express boundaries, and celebrate both yes and no as equally valid. We close with grounding, gratitude, and an invitation to integrate these insights into daily life and future community events like Snuggle Sundays.
