What you will learn in this workshop:
Understanding the dynamics of Receiving and Giving and taking them apart
Understanding who is doing and who it is for – because they are different
Gaining skills of empowerment and communication – noticing, valuing, and trusting desires, having the courage to ask for what you want, and feeling safe enough to receive
Understanding and embodying the Wheel of Consent happens best through a somatic experience – you have to feel it in your skin. Therefore, learning the Wheel happens through touch exercises.
What this workshop is:
This Workshop teaches you the practice of the Wheel of Consent.
We do our best to help you experience each of the four quadrants. Once you have the experience, we talk about how to bring these insights and practices to your work with clients.
As you continue with the practice, you will gain insight into how it applies to many situations in your life, including family, work, community and social dynamics. How you will integrate that in your work and life, will be up to you!
What this workshop is not:
Therapy – though it will likely challenge you personally and bring you insights!
An anti-oppression or social justice training – though we will look at how those dynamics affect one’s ability to consent!
A training that teaches you how to deliver the full Wheel of Consent Workshop curriculum. We have a Facilitator Certification program if you’d like to do that.

Organisation / Hosts
Baluu Lehmann
Baluu Lehmann is a teacher and clinical sexologist. Coming from the sex-positive scene his first contact with the Wheel of Consent was 2018. Since then, he organised many workshops in the field of sexuality. While studying clinical sexology and his master’s degree in sexology he missed the topic of consent. That is why he and Filippa decided to invite Dr. Betty Martin to shine a light on this essential issue for professionals working in a therapeutic setting. Baluu is working in his own practice in Zurich and is on the executive board of institut of Sexocorporel international.
Besides his passion for the topic of sexuality, he loves tropical plants (his mangotree is his precious), reading and taking a swim in the river Limmat.
