SUMMARY:Like A Pro in Chicago\, IL April 15-19\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Like A Pro in Chicago\, IL! To apply\, go here! \nLike A Pro is a Wheel of Consent workshops for professionals\, offered through the School of Consent. More info on Like A Pro on the School of Consent’s website is here. \nLike a Pro brings the transformative model of the Wheel of Consent to professionals working with topics of consent\, boundaries\, relational intimacy\, body sovereignty\, trauma recovery\, sexuality\, communication\, and touch. Originally developed for touch practitioners\, the course has\, by popular demand\, expanded to include non-touch professionals like therapists\, coaches\, teachers\, and workshop leaders. \nLike a Pro guides you into a personal somatic experience of The Wheel\, and then teaches you how to integrate it into your practice\, to make all your sessions safe\, effective\, and satisfying. \nHow is taking Like a Pro different from the Wheel of Consent workshop series I’ve offered and been teaching? The main differences are in the time and depth\, as well as in who it’s for (see what I did there?). Like a Pro is a 5-day workshop. The Wheel of Consent workshops I teach are about 2.5 days worth of material (even in series form). \n\n\n\n\nLike a Pro is for you if…\nYou have a professional practice and… \n\nyou want to bring the Wheel into the one-on-one work you are offering\nyou’ve read the book and you want to practice what you’ve been learning\nyou’ve taken a Wheel of Consent workshop or been introduced to the Wheel in another training and want to go deeper\nyou want to clarify the dynamics of working with clients\nYou are a body worker\, physical therapist\, psychotherapist\, healer\, sex worker\, teacher\, workshop leader\, life coach\, intimacy or relationship coach\, surrogate partner\, cuddle therapist\, tantric practitioner\, massage therapist – if you work with people\, you need this course!\n\nI’ll be co-teaching this class with my colleague Marcia Baczynski. Please apply to join us! \n\nI will also be co-teaching Like A Pro in Montreal in September and an online Like A Pro in November. Stay tuned! \n\n  \n\n.

SUMMARY:Moving into Agreement: Wheel of Consent and Contact Improvisation workshop\, Toronto May 2026
DESCRIPTION:Moving into Agreement: A Wheel of Consent and Contact Improvisation workshop with Kathleen Rea and Sasha Lasdon. May 7-10\, 2026 Toronto \nRegister here! \nDESCRIPTION\nJoin Sasha Lasdon and Kathleen Rea for a 4-day exploration of the Wheel of Consent and Contact Improvisation. We’ll explore where the Wheel of Consent and CI (and associated movement practices) meet\, how they can inform each other\, and where they don’t overlap. \nThe first 2.5 days of the workshop will be a full introduction to the Wheel of Consent. The Wheel of Consent\, created by Dr. Betty Martin\, is a set of practices and ideas on how to detangle and explore receiving and giving. It helps us by asking the questions: “Who is doing an action?” and “Who is it for?” No prior experience with the Wheel of Consent is necessary. \nWe’ll have an opportunity to experience embodied practices that invite us to: \n\nconnect with and understand our desires and limits more deeply\nexplore and examine how we make choices\nfeel our Yes and No in our bodies\nexplore ways to create clearer agreements about what we may or may not participate in\nexperience a set of practices and tools\n\nThe last 1.5 days of the workshop will explore how the Wheel of Consent can inform Contact Improvisation. Contact Improvisation is a social dance involving touch\, in which momentum between two or more people is used to create and inspire dance movements. Dancers move within a constantly changing physical reality. There are no set leaders or followers. While there is technique involved\, the quality of the relationship and communication within a dance is the main focus. CI welcomes dancers of all levels and abilities. \nSasha Lasdon\, a certified facilitator and faculty member with the School of Consent\, will guide us through the embodied practices of the Wheel of Consent. \nSasha and Kathleen have both been practicing Contact Improvisation for over 25 years. They each bring a depth of experience in sensing agreements through movement with others. Both have experience exploring consent in CI and writing jam guidelines. The Wheel of Consent offers tools for exploring limits (what I’m not willing to participate in) and desires (what I want to participate in or make happen)\, bringing clarity to movement practices that include paradox and complexity. These practices and concepts can help us clarify moments and dynamics in our dancing by actively noticing and asking\, “Who is it for?” \nThe CI component of this workshop is an opportunity to hone and deepen an existing practice of CI\, dance\, or movement. We may play with negotiated dances\, witnessing\, and moments of discussion. \nTHIS WORKSHOP IS FOR YOU IF:\n\nyou have experience navigating dance spaces\, jams\, workshops\, or classes (any level of movement experience is welcome!)\nyou are able to learn in group spaces\nyou want to hone your consent skills\nyou’ve heard of the Wheel of Consent and want to learn more\n\nTHIS WORKSHOP MAY NOT BE FOR YOU IF:\n\nyou are in the acute stage of processing a consent violation in your life\nyou are not able to regulate your nervous system or identify what you need when upset\nyou experience active psychosis\nyou are not interested in dancing at all\n\nFor those who request it and complete the four-day workshop\, a certificate of participation can be provided. \nOptional pre-reading:\nThe Art of Receiving and Giving by Dr. Betty Martin \nCOST\n\nOcean – $900 (can afford extras like a vacation abroad)\nLake – $650 (need to consider my budget to attend)\nPond – $385 (need to carefully consider and plan my budget to attend — only 10 available)\nPuddle – $300 (only way I can attend — only 3 available)\n\nEvent Information\n\nThursday\, May 7\, 2026 at 10:00 AM to Sunday\, May 10\, 2026 at 6:00 PM EDT \nBain Co-op Studio\, 100\, Toronto\, ON\, M4K 1E8\, Canada. \n\nREGISTER:\nhttps://spring26torontowheelofconsent.eventzilla.net/e/2138676263\n \nLOCATION:\n100 Bain Ave\, Toronto\, ON\, M4K 1E8 \nDATES:\nMay 7 to May 10\, 2026 \nSCHEDULE\nDay One (full Wheel of Consent day)\n10:00 am to 5:00 pm – Workshop\nLunch and dinner provided\nWe will have 75 minutes for lunch and 1 hour for dinner\n6:00 pm to 7:30 pm – Evening guided dance jam \nDay Two (full Wheel of Consent day)\n10:00 am to 6:00 pm – Workshop\nWe will have 75 minutes for lunch\, and lunch will be provided. \nDay Three (½ Wheel of Consent and ½ Contact Improvisation)\n10:00 am to 6:00 pm – Workshop\nWe will have 75 minutes for lunch\, and lunch will be provided. \nDay Four (full Contact Improvisation day)\n10:00 am to 5:00 pm – Workshop\n75 minutes for lunch (lunch provided)\nSnack time before jam\n4:30 pm to 5:30 pm – Dance Jam\n5:30 pm to 6:00 pm – Closing circle \n\nBIOGRAPHIES\n\nSasha Lasdon (they/them) has worked with movement\, sexuality\, gender\, bodywork\, and consent education for over 25 years.
