The Art of Giving and Receiving
Wheel of Consent Workshop
Learn to navigate boundaries and desires with confidence and grace
Many people feel lost when it comes to expressing their desires or establishing healthy limits in relationships.
You might be feeling overwhelmed by unclear boundaries, unsure of how to express your needs, or frustrated by unsatisfying connections.
Uncertainty: You’re not always clear about what you want, making it difficult to ask for or receive what you truly need.
Fear of Rejection: You hesitate to say no, or you fear hearing it, leading to compromises that don’t feel good.
Unsatisfying Intimacy: You find yourself going along with things that don’t truly resonate with you, but you’re unsure how to change the dynamic.
If any of this sounds familiar, know that you’re not alone. Many of us weren’t taught how to navigate these complex dynamics. But change is possible—you can learn to bring clarity and confidence into your relationships.
That’s exactly what this workshop is designed to help you achieve. Let’s take the first step toward transforming your relationships.
In this workshop, you’ll step into a deeply immersive experience where learning goes beyond theory—it’s felt, embodied, and practised in real time.
This event stands out because it’s highly somatic and deeply integrated, focusing on choosing rather than just doing. Here’s what you can expect:
Somatic Practices
You’ll engage in exercises that bring you out of your head and into your body, helping you develop an inner compass to navigate your boundaries and desires with ease.
Paired Activities
Through guided activities in pairs, you’ll practise expressing your needs and listening to others in a safe, supportive environment. This practice is key to understanding giving and receiving at a profound level.
Reflective Discussions
We’ll come together as a group to reflect on our experiences, share insights, and deepen our understanding of the dynamics of giving and receiving. This reflection helps you move from intellectual concepts to embodied wisdom.
Practical Tools
You’ll leave with practical tools and techniques, including the structured Wheel of Consent model, to unpack the dynamics of giving and receiving and align your actions with your true desires, confidently and clearly, in everyday life.
This is more than just a workshop—it’s a transformational journey that will empower you to connect with yourself and others in a profoundly authentic way.
When the workshop ends, you’ll carry with you more than just new knowledge—you’ll embody a profound understanding of how to create and sustain healthy, fulfilling relationships.
You’ll leave equipped with the tools and insights you need to live a life that feels authentic, empowered, and joyfully connected:
Embodied Awareness
You’ll have an embodied sense of what you want, guiding your actions and decisions naturally and effortlessly. This awareness helps you navigate relationships with grace, free from resentment, self-doubt, or shame.
Authentic Connections
Your relationships will become more satisfying as you learn to give and receive with a whole heart, creating connections that are rich in integrity and true to your desires.
Empowered Communication
You’ll find it easier to articulate your needs and boundaries, leading to clear agreements and deeper understanding in all areas of your life—whether with family, romantic partners, or colleagues.
Increased Pleasure and Fulfilment
By waking up your hands and becoming more attuned to pleasure, you’ll expand your capacity to receive enjoyment in ways that feel deeply fulfilling.
Meet the Teacher
Hi, I’m Adam Taffler, and I’m here to walk with you on this journey of self-discovery and relational transformation. I used to be a people pleaser, and while I’m recovering, I understand what it’s like to not ask for what you want and to feel unsatisfied. My own journey led me to study with renowned experts like Betty Martin, where I learned the power of somatic practices and embodied awareness. Now, I’m committed to bringing all my experience, care, and dedication to support you in this workshop. Together, we’ll explore how to break free from old patterns and create relationships that are authentic, fulfilling, and deeply connected.
“It was both mind-blowing and moving to see how good I had become at suppressing my own wants and desires - even the simplest everyday ones.
Simply asking for what I want through open, clear and respectful communication is utterly transformative." -
Alex B, Lawyer
“I 100% recommend this workshop to others, it has revolutionised my world.
One of my major discoveries is how boundaries and desires relate to my life more broadly. At work, I’ve started noticing when I 'tolerate' things rather than expressing my true wants/needs.”
- Lisa W, Educator
“It made me realise that I spend most of my time serving others and that I’m ready to receive now.
Before the workshop, I tended to not try to get my needs met for fear of embarrassment. The course allowed me to experiment with asking and receiving no’s as well as yes’s.” - Kev S, Designer
