Consent & Good Touch: An Intimacy Workshop
November 27 @ 6:30 pm – 9:30 pm PST
Still figuring out your boundaries? Uncertain as to how to navigate touch in new relationships and first encounters? Curious about leveling up your practice of consent?
Together, we will be moving through a framework intended to help participants discover their boundaries and desires, as well as tune in to their particular sense of pleasure. The other focus of this exercise is connectedness: being curiously and nonjudgmentally engaged with the unique shape of another person’s personality, form, and idiosyncracies.
What does all of this mean?
Attendees will be introduced to a structured practice designed to foster a deeper relationship with both the self and others.
All attendees will receive a printed copy of the activity to take home.

Meet our guest presenter
Shiphrah is a queer trans settler, multicultural grandchild of holocaust survivors, and ambulatory wheelchair user who has been enthusiastically practicing kink for 15 years. She lives with multiple intersecting complex chronic disabilities defined by unpredictability, frequently oscillating between being visibly and invisibly disabled. She is a writer of political theory with a focus on capitalism/imperialism from a disabled perspective, and is a stalwart jewish anti-zionist voice speaking up for the total liberation of Palestine.
