Like a Pro: The Wheel of Consent for Professionals - Panama!

Have you had a week to be fully at choice? AND had it count as some of the best professional development you can invest in?

By the end of this training, you will have clarity about how to use The Wheel of Consent as a revolutionary framework to support yourself and the people you work with to:

- Recover self-trust and agency

- Connect to and communicate their needs and desires

- Develop precise communication about personal boundaries

- Create authentic, intentional interactions

- Cultivate joy and satisfaction in relating

- Minimize harm in all types of relationships

- Understand true mutual agreement and equity

- Navigate often unnamed, but sensed power dynamics

⚠️ Spots are limited. If you’ve been meaning to deepen your work with embodied consent, this is your moment.

This practice-based training guides you into a personal somatic experience of The Wheel, then teaches you how to integrate it into your practice to make all your sessions safe, effective, and satisfying.

Over six days, you'll develop the core competencies that ethical practice requires and that this moment demands:

CORE SKILLS YOU'LL LEARN

• The single most important practitioner skill: putting yourself aside to create space for clients to show up authentically
• What Giving and Receiving really are, and why knowing the difference is crucial for profound client results
• Assessment - finding out what your client is ready for and what they are not (through somatic experience, not just conversation)
• Containment—creating strong containers with enough safety for real work
• How to identify and stay within your professional limits
• How to put yourself aside as a practitioner and create space for clients to show up authentically
• Recognize compliance – a coping skill that can masquerade as consent in your clients and yourself
• How to co-create moment-to-moment presence with clients, meeting them where they're at

THE THREE CORE PRINCIPLES

1. SLOWING DOWN: We take five days to slow down. Countercultural. Revolutionary. Essential. We practice moving at the speed of genuine choice.

2. NOTICING: Develop your capacity to notice yourself, the other, what happens in relationship, and the space you're in. Expand your capacity to hold multiple points of attention - an essential skill for working with clients experiencing trauma and for navigating your own responses to collective crisis.

3. ACCESSING CHOICE: From the foundation of slowing down and noticing, gain skills to access genuine choice—for yourself and your clients.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

Originally developed for touch practitioners, Like A Pro has expanded to include all professionals working one-to-one with clients: psychotherapists, sex therapists, sexuality educators, counselors, body workers, physical therapists, healers, coaches (life, intimacy, relationship), teachers, workshop leaders, surrogate partners, cuddle therapists, tantric practitioners, massage therapists, sex workers, and somatic practitioners.

If you work with people, you need this course.

This training attracts professionals committed to integrity, equity, inclusivity, harm reduction, and finding authentic joy - especially those who:

• Work with clients navigating intimacy, sexuality, or relationships in an increasingly volatile political climate
• Need practical tools for addressing consent when clients are experiencing violations of autonomy
• Want to clarify professional boundaries and prevent ethical breaches
• Recognize that supporting clients requires addressing the impact of authoritarian systems and power dynamics on bodily sovereignty

WHAT MAKES LIKE A PRO DIFFERENT?

While Wheel of Consent workshops focus on learning embodied practices, Like A Pro goes further: you learn the practices, then put on your practitioner hat and workshop how to use them with your clients.

This training cultivates skills to hold clients AND hold yourself - to be a resource without burning out, to maintain boundaries without rigidity, to stay present without losing yourself.

BONUS: You meet like-minded professionals & expand your network!
