      <image:title>What People Say - “I'm so grateful I was able and that you made it financially accessible for me to participate in your workshop. It has opened up so many channels and I can feel the continued unfolding ripple out. I experienced you as a really incredible facilitator and have looked back on that weekend in amazement at the flow and sensitivity you brought into the room. ”</image:title>

      <image:title>What People Say - "Helena, you are the best facilitator I have ever experienced. I am a retired teacher, and I've experienced a LOT of teachers in my life. This workshop opened up a deep understanding about boundaries in a whole new way. A boundary is not a wall to keep people out. It's how we connect."</image:title>

      <image:title>What People Say - “Oh my. Everything. The continual reminders before every single experiment that there are many ways to participate and the encouragement to pause and check in EACH TIME was so supportive. All the addressing of power and naming the power imbalances provided me so much relief and safety so I was able to just attend to the content of the workshop. I am really sensitive to group dynamics and wonky power dynamics and spend a lot of my time in new containers assessing the safety. This was the first time I was able to be immediately at ease. Making space for Neurodivergence and reminding the group that eye contact might not be comfortable for everyone was really helpful.”</image:title>

      <image:title>What People Say - "Helena did an incredible job of creating a safe space where choosing and consent was offered again and again. She has a great gift for pacing the group and delivering so much material in a way that never felt overwhelming or rushed. Her ability to track all that was happening within the group was unmatched. I have never felt more comfortable sharing my learnings within a group space. The chart paper method of teaching was particularly helpful for me as a visual learner."</image:title>

      <image:title>What People Say - “This course has given me a safe container to build awareness of my willingness (as well as lack there of) to participate in all the circumstances of life. The practice sessions were a place to for me to build comfortability with communicating new types of responses that accurately reflect my needs/wants.”</image:title>

      <image:title>What People Say - "Amazing. Do this course. It will change your life, as you practice the skills that grow your confidence to live in greater residency in your body, and to take up the space in the world that you want and need."</image:title>

      <image:title>What People Say - “Thank you so much for facilitating this conversation and creating the safe space for noticing and being so gentle. I discovered a real power in my gentleness with myself through the course. To actually stop and ask myself what I want rather than just doing doing doing. I have freedom from current and past traumas where boundaries felt crossed.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Wheel of Consent® Workshops with Helena De Felice - Who is it for?</image:title>
      <image:caption>“Who is it for” is a central question in the practice of the Wheel of Consent®. The practice of embodied consent is profoundly impactful for bringing deeper intimacy, integrity, and care into your relationship with yourself and others. Those who are drawn to this practice tend to: ໑ work with people in a position of power, and have a commitment to positively affect human change and healing (teacher, therapist, bodyworker, physician, manager, leader, etc.) ໑ be looking for deeper and more meaningful connection in their relationships (intimate, family, friendship, community, etc.) ໑ have experienced harm and have a desire to access a deeper sense of safety and trust in their own body and confidence in moving towards deeper intimacy ໑ be interested in developing deeper self-awareness and relational skills for more ease and joy in life, and/or ໑ care deeply about dignity, respect, and want to be more skillful in caring for themselves and others. With more power comes greater responsibility. We consider advanced embodied consent skills ,with awareness of how power and safety influences choice, to be essential for: ໑ practitioners, teachers, facilitators and care providers, ໑ leaders working within positions of authority, and ໑ leaders committed to empowering others in affirming their personal autonomy and power.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Wheel of Consent® Workshops with Helena De Felice - Who is this not for?</image:title>
      <image:caption>This practice is tender and potent. It is important that you participate because you want to. It is not appropriate for anyone else to require or demand that you attend. You are welcome to arrive and leave with skepticism and doubt. You are welcome to leave whenever you want, and return when you want to (or not at all). You are not required to trust or believe what the facilitator offers or trust others in the space. Doubt, skepticism, and distrust are all important and wise signals designed to keep you safe. A cue that it may be best to wait until you are more resourced is that the idea of engaging in this practice causes your body to contract, experience tension, or anxiety. If you are in active crisis, it is best to seek other supports. Consider engaging in this practice once you are out of crisis and you can access more curiosity, perhaps with ongoing support from a therapist. Sometimes more information about the workshop, what you can expect, and how you can care for yourself can resolve some tension or hesitation. Sometimes it helps clarify a ‘no’ or ‘not now’. Sometimes a brief meeting with the facilitator can help. You can schedule a free 20-minute consult here. Sometimes it is supportive to attend with a partner and a friend, sometimes it can make it more difficult to drop into the practice and your own experience for your own learning. It may not be appropriate to attend with someone you are in a role-power differential relationship with (e.g. your boss, or therapist). Where can I start, without committing to an in person workshop? - read the book The Art of Receiving and Giving by Betty Martin - explore some of the practices that Betty describes on your own - watch some of Betty’s videos - try a one-on-one coaching session, or - attend an online introduction or online training.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Wheel of Consent® Workshops with Helena De Felice - My relationship to the Wheel of Consent®</image:title>
      <image:caption>Since first being introduced to the Wheel of Consent® in 2016, it has transformed how I approach every aspect of my life. I left my first immersive training with the experience that my brain had rewired - my inner compass for desires, needs, and limits had been reset - and it gave me a completely new frame and somatic awareness to engage from. I was awestruck and inspired by the possibility of unwinding deep individual and collective patterns of harm and move towards more caring and reciprocal relationships. At the time, I was immersed in work in the realm of gender-based violence, a field that felt heavy and charged, along with necessary and inspiring. Experiencing this practice lit a spark in me that has provided a pervasive sense of possibility. These are foundational skills that we can learn. It is possible repair relational harm, bring compassion for ways we have learnt to survive, restore trust and dignity where we have abandoned ourselves or been abandoned, and move towards nourishing connections. I immediately saw the connection and relevance of this practice for a wide range of contexts: organizational, leadership, service and caregiving, familiar, collective, and intimate. Since then, I have delivered over 20 Wheel of Consent workshops in North America and Europe, with hundreds of participants from several continents and cultural backgrounds in both group and one-on-one sessions. I focus on extended immersive offerings that allow us to slow down, unwind patterns, and develop new habits. My personal and professional practice continues to deepen through the individual and collective wisdom that emerges each time I offer this work, other modalities I engage in, and my own personal practice of embodied consent. It is an honour and great fulfilment to get to share this work with you.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Wheel of Consent® Workshops with Helena De Felice - Who is it for?</image:title>
      <image:caption>“Who is it for” is a central question in the practice of the Wheel of Consent®. The practice of embodied consent is profoundly impactful for bringing deeper intimacy, integrity, and care into your relationship with yourself and others. Those who are drawn to this practice tend to: ໑ work with people in a position of power, and have a commitment to positively affect human change and healing (teacher, therapist, bodyworker, physician, manager, leader, etc.) ໑ be looking for deeper and more meaningful connection in their relationships (intimate, family, friendship, community, etc.) ໑ have experienced harm and have a desire to access a deeper sense of safety and trust in their own body and confidence in moving towards deeper intimacy ໑ be interested in developing deeper self-awareness and relational skills for more ease and joy in life, and/or ໑ care deeply about dignity, respect, and want to be more skillful in caring for themselves and others. With more power comes greater responsibility. We consider advanced embodied consent skills ,with awareness of how power and safety influences choice, to be essential for: ໑ practitioners, teachers, facilitators and care providers, ໑ leaders working within positions of authority, and ໑ leaders committed to empowering others in affirming their personal autonomy and power.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Wheel of Consent® Workshops with Helena De Felice - Who is this not for?</image:title>
      <image:caption>This practice is tender and potent. It is important that you participate because you want to. It is not appropriate for anyone else to require or demand that you attend. You are welcome to arrive and leave with skepticism and doubt. You are welcome to leave whenever you want, and return when you want to (or not at all). You are not required to trust or believe what the facilitator offers or trust others in the space. Doubt, skepticism, and distrust are all important and wise signals designed to keep you safe. A cue that it may be best to wait until you are more resourced is that the idea of engaging in this practice causes your body to contract, experience tension, or anxiety. If you are in active crisis, it is best to seek other supports. Consider engaging in this practice once you are out of crisis and you can access more curiosity, perhaps with ongoing support from a therapist. Sometimes more information about the workshop, what you can expect, and how you can care for yourself can resolve some tension or hesitation. Sometimes it helps clarify a ‘no’ or ‘not now’. Sometimes a brief meeting with the facilitator can help. You can schedule a free 20-minute consult here. Sometimes it is supportive to attend with a partner and a friend, sometimes it can make it more difficult to drop into the practice and your own experience for your own learning. It may not be appropriate to attend with someone you are in a role-power differential relationship with (e.g. your boss, or therapist). Where can I start, without committing to an in person workshop? - read the book The Art of Receiving and Giving by Betty Martin - explore some of the practices that Betty describes on your own - watch some of Betty’s videos - try a one-on-one coaching session, or - attend an online introduction or online training.</image:caption>
