Joy is a practice. It’s a practice in intention. A practice in noticing what you want, valuing it and communicating. It’s giving things a go. It’s taking the action required when the judgemental voice inside or from others says otherwise. It’s putting yourself in situations that cultivate it. is one of those kinds of places.
I am running two workshops this next month or so, where you can practice tools that cultivate joy. Firstly, is a two day wheel of consent workshop with Sharon Gray at . It’s a two day trainjng to explore this practice. It provides a framework and language to get better at noticing what you want and asking for it. It is all about how to make agreements clearer, more concise and the language needed to ask. It helps all sorts of relationship dynamics. And, if you are a therapist, you can work off 12 CPD points.
Secondly, is an erotic embodiment class. It’s a class to learn the tools of the body and how they can be used to cultivate joy and pleasure within. These tools are foundational to embodiment. To access more joy, pleasure and play awareness of our internal state is essential. These tools help@you to do just that.

Movement and dancing has always been a part of my world. In my early years as a hyperactive kid, cartwheeling up and down the street, skateboarding face first down the hill, dance (jazz ballet and highland dancing) was a place to channel that energy. It also gave me a taste of performing on a stage.
As an adult it was more on dance floors at nightclubs to the wee hours of the morning or at festivals. I remember the feeling and saying it’s like I’ve had seggs without having had it.
Fast forward to now. Recently I tried partner dance, west coast swing. I stepped into the role of follower as it’s not a common place in my life. While I enjoyed learning new techniques and ways to move, I found it more overwhelming being in a social setting where I had to read so many different people’s bodies, the way they communicated where they wanted me to move, what they needed to communicate that. I also at the time had other emotional things on the boil so I decided to step back as I didn’t want more pressure.
I went to loads of dance classes. I experienced a couple of (Gina Chick) 5 rhythm classes. I was reminded why I dance. I want to feel me, I dance to connect to myself. And, 5 rhythms moves through a rhythm meditation awakening what’s brewing whether unprocessed packages or uncovering ideas, words or messages I had been asking. My dance partner is the rhythm, the rhythms of the music and how they show up in me.
And, when I’m exhausted, overwhelmed, tired I don’t always need rest or calm breathing, I need to get in touch with the wild, the passion, the messy, the sweet tender parts of myself. It’s how I shift the freeze, the anxious, the uncertainty that wants to creep in and surround me… if I let it.
Dance and music are my medicine.

It’s been a while… I’ve been off posting on this platform or any social platforms of any sort for some time. I described it to friends of mine as this big brick wall that goes up the sky that I just didn’t have the capacity to get over to write a post. There are many reasons for it but one part I acknowledge as part of my internal defiance to it that comes when my neurospicy brain has aversion to something. So it can take some time (days, months and sometimes years) to come back to it. Or with so much going on in the world I just didn’t feel ok to acknowledge my experiences in a public way. For whatever the many reasons I came up with, my brain also decided it was time to stop this nonsense.
Yesterday I got the privilege to share with people entering an erotic play space a taster of some skills I have gathered around navigating agreements. In my near 20 years of teaching, I always get delighted in sharing topics, knowledge, skills I am passionate about. And, from the comments I receive from folks post sharing is that the ripple effects of this knowledge goes way beyond the bubble of this play arena.
In my learning of this body of wisdom I’d like to acknowledge the humans who have shared their passion with me. Betty Martin being one of those. I look forward to this week as I attend Naam’s Like a Pro (wheel of consent) training to assist and embody more of this work.
I’d also like to express gratitude for the hosts and .dee who ask me to come along to be part of their offering on Gubbi Gubbi country and getting to meet and interact with a wide variety of humans who have an interest in exploring eroticism differently.

I love to teach about the body especially when it comes to pleasure, s3x and s3xuality. I was invited by the wonderful Alice to join in Brisbane to educate these lovely folk about ge***al anatomy, remind them that our bodies are diverse, to encourage conversation about their bodies as the explored bringing art and s3x education together. It was a wonderful way to gather friends in connection and celebration of a marriage to come.
And look at the art they created!
In my experience, most folk don’t have enough good quality conversations about our erotic lives (whether we have s3x or not). We don’t often discuss the changes in our bodies as we shift through different ages and times. It’s vital so we can normalise what many folk go through. And, sometimes our friends or a s3x educator might have some knowledge that could make all the difference whether it’s letting you know “I’m not all alone” or some information to support us on the journey. Start talking!!!!

Dr Betty Martin is here. She’ll be in Meanjin (otherwise known as Brisbane) running her Like A Pro Consent training.

Betty recently published her book “The Art of Giving and Receiving, The Wheel of Consent.” We are holding a book signing and conversation evening the 14th February from 6-8pm. What better way to celebrate love than to develop skills to express it with more ease. For more details email bettymartinaustour@gmail.com.

I’m excited to say I’m officially a certified Wheel of Consent (WOC) facilitator!

This has been a process. I originally undertook the ‘Like a Pro’ prerequisite course but then continued on doing WOC workshops. I spent, a year and a half of teaching workshops from 1 to 3 hours to two days, teaching to various groups of people. But also it was the integration of it into my experience of life. It got me curious and studying desire.

Consent drew my curiosity when I taught partner acrobatics. Becoming a somatic s*x coach introduced me to the practice. The rest is history.

Betty is arriving on our shores as I write this. Her 5 day training is brilliant. This training is for everyone.

Link for her workshop this February in Brisbane is in the bio...

This stood out to me as I read from Emily Nagoski's book Come as You Are

From this chapter she wrote "As Peggy Kleinplatz and her team write "[P]erhaps much of what is currently diagnosed as s3xual desire disorders can be best understood as a healthy response to dismal and disappointing s3x." When couples with low desire see Kleinplatz, a s3x therapist an researcher, she asks them, "What kind of s3x is worth wanting?""

When you put it that way....

the creator of the Wheel of Consent is coming to Australia!

And I'm so pleased to be hosting her course here in Meanjin/Brisbane.

Like a Pro brings the transformative model of the Wheel of Consent to professionals working with topics of consent, boundaries, relational intimacy, body sovereignty, trauma recovery, s*xuality, communication, and touch. Originally developed for touch practitioners, we have gradually expanded - by popular request - to include non-touch professionals as well. We welcome massage therapists, psychotherapists, physicians, ta**ra practitioners, s*xuality guides, escorts, counselors, bodyworkers of all stripes, teachers, coaches, and just about anybody working with people.

Learn:
ᐧThe single most important skill a practitioner can have and how to develop it.
ᐧWhat Giving and Receiving really are and why knowing the difference is crucial for getting profound results for you clients and students.
ᐧAssessment - finding out what your client is ready for and - more importantly - what they are not. This must be done with guided somatic experience, not just with conversation.
ᐧContainment - how to create a strong container for your clients that has enough safety for them to get into the real work they are coming to you for.
ᐧQuadrants - how the Quadrants of the Wheel of Consent fit into your sessions and how they don't.
