Join us for this 4-day/3-night residential retreat to practice and play with the Wheel of Consent, specifically for Erotic Touch Providers.

As erotic touch providers, having our own embodied understanding and ongoing practice of the Wheel of Consent provides a foundation for creating clear containers to negotiate desire and limits in our touch work, as well as crafting expansive possibilities for healing and pleasure with our clients.

Who is it for?
The Wheel of Consent for Erotic Touch Providers is a retreat designed specifically for and by practitioners of erotic touch work. This retreat is for somatic sex educators, sexological bodyworkers, sex workers, sacred intimates, tantra bodyworkers, surrogate partners, BDSM practitioners and others offering similar work. This is NOT a training in providing erotic touch work, but a retreat for those who have already been trained in these modalities and have prior experience in the Wheel of Consent.
