Consentric Circles Conversations with Healing Courage- April 24th and May 8th 10 a.m. to Noon
We have partnered with Healing Courage to offer their two-part Consentric Circle Conversations (April 4th and May 8th). Healing Courage’s survivor driven and led model is based on the understanding that sexual violence is a community, not an individual, issue and that survivors have the most wisdom to share about consent that works and how to solve the problems created when it doesn’t work. The first in the two-part Conversation holds a safe space where survivors can connect with one another, share wisdom from their experiences and healing, and discuss what consent looks like for current and future relationships. Participants from the first conversation invite their allies to the second Conversation. Survivors are again centered in this second community conversation, now with their allies bearing witness to the wisdom they share. Invited allies can contribute healing validation, acknowledgement, and innovation, becoming active advocates in cultivating a culture of consent in their lives, relationships and workplaces, ultimately calibrating how we support survivors and hold those who cause harm accountable in our community. Healing Courage believes that we heal in the presence of others . Request the Zoom Link Learn more about Healing Courage. |
CONSENT
Consent is Not Maybe Consent is Not Being Asleep Consent is Not “If You Really Loved Me” Consent is Not Feeling Pressured Consent is Not Being Threatened Consent is Not “Well... They Bought Me Dinner” Consent is Not Expected Consent is Not “Well...I Did Say Yes to Netflix and Chill” Consent is Not an Assumption Consent IS being able to change your mind.
Consent IS feeling like you can say "no." Consent IS "Is this okay?" Consent IS mutual. Consent IS "yes." |
