A survivor-centered workshop that teaches attendees how to be in a conSENSUAL relationship with their own body. This workshop utilizes the “Yes-to-No Spectrum of Consent” as a model of practice. Attendees will be guided through mindfulness exercises that will teach them how to identify when their body is saying “yes”, “no”, or something in between.
