What does it feel like to say yes to something? To say no? To be unsure?

This workshop explores Affirmative Consent: the act of giving and obtaining positive, conscious, and voluntary consent in our everyday lives, every step of the way. Through discussion, scenario work and story-telling you will be empowered to walk away with a deep understanding of what consent means to you as well as how to bring the conversation of consent into your own community.

This workshop is for all genders ages 13-18.

No one turned away for lack of funds.

Natalie Dunn works as the Human Development and Sexual Health teacher at Head-Royce School in Oakland, California. She believes in the power of providing teens with informed, holistic and inclusive sexual health education to live empowered lives. Her classes explore sexuality as an integral part of the human experience focusing on topics of privilege and power, gender, affirmative consent, pleasure, mental health and self-care. She is continuously learning about vulnerability and love from her 14 and 15 year-old students. She appreciates creative non-fiction, oceans and making bread.
