MIXed - Consent

About This Event

Session 1: Beyond "Yes Means Yes" - Consent as an Ongoing Practice This is a hands-on workshop, not a lecture. Consent is often taught as a single yes/no moment — a model that breaks down fast once more than two people, or an ongoing relationship, are involved. In this session, you'll practice consent as an ongoing skill rather than a one-time checkbox. In a live exercise, you'll choose an object that matters to you and then be asked to give it up — using that moment to practice giving and hearing responses beyond yes and no, including maybe, not yet, and I've changed my mind. You'll leave with practical language for negotiating consent in real time, and a clearer sense of the difference between freely choosing something and quietly managing a situation. No experience required. Nothing about your personal relationships will be discussed or disclosed in the room. This 90 minute course is part of a 3-part series on Consent, Power, and Repair. You're welcome to attend just this session and leave with useful skills, or take all three for the fuller picture.
