Presenter: Dr Peter Howie

This workshop series is designed for individuals and couples who would like to improve their communication, particularly about the intimate areas of their lives. These areas can be very difficult to access easily, and many people become tongue tied, embarrassed, or defensive when the subject is raised. You are welcome to come to all the evenings as they will build on each other. You are also welcome to attend one or more of the single evenings as your fancy takes you. Each session will include readings or exercises or both.

 

Tuesday 6 December 2022 – What We Know and Don’t Know About What We Want and Don’t Want: Exploring Consent and Obligation

With gentleness and playfulness, Dr Peter will work with us through a model of communication, Betty Martin’s Wheel of Consent, specifically designed to help us to ask for things we want, say ‘No’ to things we don’t want, and ‘Ýes’to things we do want. This is a very important step on the road to feeling autonomy and agency, self-reliance and freedom, to get our pleasure needs met in ways that work for us not just everyone else.

 

Tuesday 13 December 2022 – The Most Difficult Task: Asking For What We Actually Want While Dealing With Our Fears and Shame and The Opinions of Others

In this workshop Dr Peter will have us all exploring what it means to ask for what we want and why we will or will never do that. It will mean looking playfully at where we hold ourselves back, where we gave up on our hopes and dreams, or where learned the ‘shoulds, musts, and oughts’ or expectations of how we are meant to act towards pleasure and erotic play if we are to be considered good people.

 

Fee: $130 (All 4 Sessions) or $40 (Individual Session). PLEASE BOOK
