Enjoy the Friendly DInner and learn from the Wheel of Consent workshop!

POSTPONED TO A LATER DATE - TBA

• What we'll do
At 19:00 we will start our friendly (and healthy) dinner, and after some digestion we will start our Wheel of Consent introduction workshop. The Wheel of Consent (as formulated by Betty Martin) is a method of being more conscious in your interaction with fellow humans; it is based on 'touch' (for example in a sexual context) but it actually applies to all aspects of life, for example in communication with your boss or co-workers. Keywords are give - receive - take - allow. The method helps you to be more conscious of your role in the interaction, and to take responsibility for it. For example "Am I taking? Or am I receiving?" is an important question during a conscious exchange of intimacy. "Am I giving? Or am I allowing? Or do I not want to give consent to this?" is an example of an important question in situations where there is 'almost bullying' going on in a work situation.

The Wheel of Consent gives us tools to be sure of our 'yes' or 'no' and makes it easy to revoke our 'yes' if we feel that it became a 'no'. During this workshop we might discuss topics related to sexuality, but it is not a sex workshop and we'll be clothed at all times :)

You are welcome to join as an individual or you can bring your partner(s).

Participation fee for dinner and workshop is EUR 10 per person. There are 2 low-income tickets available for EUR 6; let us know if you feel that one of them is for you. Also there is the option of buying a high-income ticket for EUR 14. The venue is easily reached by direct bus from Rotterdam Central Station. Are you traveling by train from Amsterdam? Then speak up and let's see if we can organise a reduced group ticket for the train!

Let's do it! We're looking forward to your participation
