Workshops and Events
Learning in a group or community of like-minded people offers a rich and wonderful opportunity to connect and explore together. My workshops and events are welcoming and facilitated spaces for people to learn new skills, share stories and experiences and to try out new things. Grounded firmly in authentic ongoing choice, participants notice and explore their edges, build trust, and find freedom and joy in allowing themselves to be seen and valued for who they are.
The Festival of Embodiment and Sexual Transformation 2025
FEAST is my co-creation and business partnership with my dear friend and colleague, Jordan Hackett.
It is a wonderful offering for those who want to connect and learn with like minded folk in a community founded on integrity and care.
After a sold out and hugely successful events in 2022 and 2023 we are back to do it all again in May this year!
FEAST is a joyful celebration and learning opportunity, inclusive of everyone who want to connect with their body, pleasure and community. Offering the opportunity to learn from some of Australia’s best Sexological Bodyworkers and Somatic Sex Coaches, FEAST is a place to expand, experiment and explore.
Whether you want to lean deeply into your edges of rest quietly and savour the slowing down, FEAST has a place for it all.
For ease, here are all the important details.

Introduction to the Wheel of Consent®
This is a monthly experiential workshop and practice group for those interested in learning some of the key elements of the Wheel of Consent®, and building confidence and skill in community with others.
It is suitable for those who want to learn how to express their own authentic desires and limits, and create consensual agreements.
Step by step we break the skills of consent down and practice the essential embodied communication that will support you to stay in integrity with yourself and share skillfully with those around you.
What is the Wheel of Consent®?
The Wheel of Consent® is a practice developed by Betty Martin as a way of supporting people to notice and communicate what we do and don’t want in dynamic conversation with others.
Utilising embodiment skills and strengthening our capacity to notice and choose, the Wheel supports anyone seeking to engage in meaningful and authentic agreement making.
Useful in intimate relationships, workplaces, friendship and general life, the Wheel supports us to be integrity, clarity and empowerment with ourselves and consensual engagement with others.
Betty has established the School of Consent to foster the growth of this work and it is now taught and embraced across the world.
Here is Betty summarising the Wheel of Consent®
What you might expect to learn:
- How to work out what you truly want and be able to ask for it.
- Consent skills that go beyond a permission-based conversation and support you and others to stay within personal boundaries.
- An increased self-awareness and capacity to notice and name your limits.
- An ability to slow down, notice and honour yourself while encouraging others to do the same.
- How to come into conversation and agreement making with others that feels integrous and joyfully aligned.
These skills enhance the quality of our relationships and sense of self, and are useful in many contexts. Whether you are seeking better intimacy and sex, expanded pleasure or deepening the quality of your relationships with friends, family or work colleagues, this workshop is for you.

Frequently Asked Questions about workshops and events
Who are workshops and events for?
Workshops and events are for curious people over 18 years of age who have a genuine desire to learn and explore. All people of any gender, sexual orientation or genital configuration are warmly welcome.
Will there be the same number of men and women at the workshop or event?
I choose not to ‘gender balance’ workshops or events and invite participants to be open to having different experiences to what they might normally seek out. Workshops and events are a place to explore and learn outside of attraction and gently challenge the conditioning we are often raised with. You will always have the freedom to choose who you work with and how you work together.
Will there be food and drinks available?
It depends on the length of the workshop. This will be specified in information sent out to you prior to gathering. If you have particular dietary requirements, please let me know before the day of the event.
Are your workshops and events inclusive of everyone?
Absolutely. I am committed to creating safe and inclusive spaces where you are welcome to show up in the fullness of your authentic self. Please let me know if there are things that help you feel more included and welcomed. Diversity, variety, and respectful freedom of expression are cornerstones of my work.
Will there be nudity?
Many workshops and events I offer are clothing optional. You are welcome to wear as many or as few clothes as you feel to. Any variations of dress and undress are fine. What is more important is that you pause for a moment and notice for yourself how many pieces of clothing you would like to keep on or off and then do that.
Do you cater for differing levels of physical ability?
I do my best to ensure all activities are access to everyone regardless of physical abilities. Please feel free to let me know before a workshop or event, the best way I can support you in this regard.
Do I need a partner to come along?
No. Some workshops are specifically for couples, but most are not. You are welcome to come along on your own and team up with others for practices and activities at the event. There is also always the option to do any activities on your own.
What should I bring with me?
Generally, it is useful to bring a water bottle, a towel or sarong, and a cushion or yoga mat. I usually send out a list of things to bring prior to the workshop, but if in doubt these are the basics.
What are your standards regarding hygiene?
Regardless of recent experiences brought on by the global COVID-19 pandemic, I adhere to strict hygiene protocols in all workshops and events. Gloves, sanitiser, disinfectant sprays and individual bottles of oil are always available. In addition, I ask that participants who notice any signs of illness do not attend. I am happy to refund your payment in these circumstances.
This is my first time attending anything like this. Is it for me?
Pretty much everyone who has ever stepped foot inside a workshop or event of this nature has felt some sense of initial nervousness or fear (me included!). It is normal, even I would say healthy to feel this way. My events and workshops are created and facilitated in a way that gently supports you to go at your own pace with never an expectation to do anything you do not want to do. I am constantly humbled by the calibre and integrity of people who chose to come along and their capacity to trust, welcome and support each other in the space.
Do I have a choice about participating in the activities?
Yes, absolutely, always. One of the most important things in all my workshops and events is that you slow down, notice and choose from a place of authentic embodied consent. There are many ways to participate including sitting outside of the activity, watching with others permission, or taking a nap if you so choose. All these things count as participating. What is more important than doing everything is taking the time to notice what you really want and making that choice.
