Daily negotiations with the power dynamics and social structures are constantly pushed upon us, leaving us in doubt of self, fearful of our body, instinct and reactions. Any form of consent truly begins with oneself. To fully engage in a negotiation with others it is essential that we continue to hold on to our consensual connection with ourselves, asking ‘what is my desire?’

Within this workshop Maryann and Pat will offer principles, questions and inspiration to return to our inner listening.

Their goal is to provide you with ways to ask yourself how you feel in any given moment. To know when you are not sure about something. When you don’t want something. Or when you can’t wait to have it!

The structure for the evening will be –
