What if we could express our wants, without them being tied to an outcome? Why does someone expressing a want immediately cause pressure and tension to rise up?
This class will help us cultivate and own our truest wants, learn to define our domains, and explore how wanting doesn’t always translate into giving. Together, we’ll practice identifying and asking for what we want, and learn to detach our wants from the need for others to fulfill them.
What if a want could really just be a want?
Betty Martin’s Wheel of Consent provides us with the tools and practices to get truly comfortable advocating for ourselves, setting boundaries, expressing our wants and needs, and accepting them fully when they come to us.
With hands-on activities to help us get out of our comfort zones and into our feeling-sense, we’ll move into the world more in-tune, more embodied, and more confident in our ability to ask for what we want, speak up for what we don’t, and get more of what we hope for.
This practice is in collaboration with Temple New York, and takes place at their lovely space. The button below will take you to their website to book!
