Embodied Consent:Needs & Boundaries~Queer & BIPoC centred; everyone welcome

Do you sometimes struggle to ask for what you need?
Or say yes to things you didn't want?
Do you want to explore consent in an inclusive & safer space?
Join LaMariposa; a Psychotherapist, Embodiment & Consent Facilitator for this transformative 1-day workshop.
Optimize your life as we explore some dynamics of consent, including the shadows, in an embodied & down-to-earth way.
This is an invitation to slow down & bring more awareness to your inner process in an inclusive & safer space. The workshop includes experiential embodiment & consent practices, discussions/verbal sharings & regular breaks. You always have choice as to whether & to what degree you engage.
This is a BIPoC & queer centred space where all ages (18+), genders, races, ethnicities, neurodiversities, social backgrounds, s£xual orientations & relationship styles are welcome.
This workshop is for you if you are ready:
· To truly connect with yourself

· To have deeper authentic relationships
· To feel & clearly express your needs & boundaries
· To stop putting others’ needs before your own
· & to create the life you desire
