Do you ever say “yes” when you mean “no”? Struggle to ask for what you truly want? Afraid of rejection? Or find yourself slipping into people-pleasing, going along with things, or feeling frustrated in relationships?
This course is a space to practise something different. It’s a chance to listen to your body, honour your boundaries, speak your truth, and learn a clear language of consent that can enrich all your relationships.
Over six weeks we’ll use somatic practices, guided touch exercises and group reflection to explore:
❂ Feeling safe in your body and regulating your nervous system
❂ Awakening sensation and presence in your skin
❂ Four distinct kinds of touch and relating (and the beauty and challenge of each)
❂ Taking apart doing from giving and discover deeper layers of receiving
❂ The difference between what you are willing to give and what you truly want to receive
❂ Finding your “yes” and your “no”, and communicating them clearly
❂ Making agreements based on a common language of consent
❂ Releasing old survival strategies like rescuing, over-giving, people pleasing and entitlement
❂ Making authentic and empowered choices in your connections
Practices will be simple, clothes-on and always optional. You choose how you participate.
The workshop is for anyone interested in improving the quality of their connections, whether in intimacy, friendship, community and beyond. While we will explore through the medium of touch, the awareness and communication skills you’ll gain in this workshop can be applied in all areas of life.
No prior experience is needed. All individuals, couples, genders and sexual orientations welcome.
The workshop is based on Somatic Consent, an engagement system that guides you to connect with yourself and others on a richer, deeper level through sensation, clarity and choice.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
“What I’ve learnt in this workshop will change my life.”
“An incredibly beautiful workshop that reconnected me to my love of human touch in such a gentle and profound way. It feels like a deeper remembering of what it means to be touched by and to touch the essence of life. Thank you so much for such a beautiful experience, I can highly recommend it to anyone and everyone!”
“Karis held a beautiful space with skill and humility, combining soft kindness and acceptance with a laser-sharp commitment to personal boundaries. It was so much fun. I learnt a lot that is very applicable to real-life relationships and situations.”
“I had such a nourishing time exploring the meaning of giving and receiving touch, while being guided into connecting with myself and expressing genuine choices. I found it a very rich exploration and felt safe enough to go deep and take risks.”
“The work has helped myself and my partner to explore what gives us pleasure and to open to greater intimacy with each other. I have also found the teachings beneficial in non-intimate settings — I’m far more able to notice when something feels like a ‘no’ instead of overriding my feelings.”
“I appreciated the clarity of the explanations and the slowness, gentleness and attuned nature of the practices. Being neurodiverse, I often found touch workshops too intrusive or too fast, but here I felt real relief — the space made it easy to honour my nervous system. I felt seen, heard and supported from the start. This is beautiful, important work, very needed, and it’s already affecting my choices.”
“The pacing and facilitation was excellent. I learnt a great deal about myself and how I interact with others. We practised some fundamental skills for life and had fun at the same time!”
“This course was beautifully held, with an invitational style and a pace that offered both safety and the potential for expansion and growth. This is gently powerful work.”
