Boundaries are a way of showing care to ourselves and others, useful in professional life, friendships, relationships, and families. Boundaries can also help you determine how you navigate how you give and ask for consent. Join this workshop at The Common Press to learn more about how to define and stay true to your boundaries.
About the workshop:
This workshop will take knowledge and best practices from community-based violence prevention and gender- and trauma-sensitive care to equip participants with an understanding of consent, boundaries, and bodies. The consent portion of the workshop will cover topics including how to bring the sexy or romantic vibe into checking in about consent, mirroring language with non-cis or dysphoric partners, and identifying and setting boundaries in your own relationships and interactions. Bringing experience as a dancer/dance instructor AND anti-violence educator, the facilitator will broaden the conversation beyond dating and sex alone, focussing on how we can normalise talks around consent in every setting.
