Original Workshop Description:

Thank You For Your "No":Building Relationships That Encourage Sharing & Trust

We are seldom taught how to gracefully accept “no,” especially in the context of our romantic, sexual, or play relationships. This workshop will discuss how to become partners who can receive boundaries and rejection from our loved ones with grace and care. By exploring the vital components of open communication, setting healthy boundaries, and acknowledging what makes it hard to give and receive a “no,” this workshop will provide you with tips and tools for embracing the vulnerability and care required in healthy relationships where both partners feel safe to express their needs and desires, as well as respect the same in their partner. Ahead of the workshop, attendees are encouraged to come up with examples from their own lives where they have had challenges around setting boundaries, asking for their needs, or where they have been challenged to navigate rejection or boundary-setting by their partners.

This class is open to all attendees with any experience level over the age of 18.
