Sacred Connection

Touch is a basic human need and an avenue for giving and receiving pleasure as well expressing love and care.   At times, though, despite our best intentions, navigating partner touch feels like awkward and sensitive teritory for many , including those we have been close with for a long time.

Navigating touch with others can be easier,  more empowering, and more pleasurable. 

It is about learning positive communication skills, empowering enthusiastic consent (setting boundaries, asking for what we want, and honoring our needs and desires) and creating open communications based on love, respect and free from shame and fear. It is also about embodiment through conscious guided touch.

 

We teach an elegantly simple map called the " Wheel of Consent" for couples to navigate touch, consent, and intimacy with another. 

This map really helps unpick common pitfalls and blind spots in our exchanges with our partner, and shows us how to step beyond our familiar roles, into more intimate, playful and pleasurable ways of being together. 

The Wheel of Consent is a model for interactions developed by Betty Martin.  It was primarily developed to understand our touch interactions with others, but the beauty of it is that it can be used to go so much deeper and allow us to examine our preferred dynamic and choices in all our interactions, not only with individuals (family, friends, work colleagues and lovers) but also with society or even universally.

We look forward to introducing this map and practice to your life.
