The Wheel of Consent: A Practice in Taking Turns

The podcast explores the concept of the Wheel of Consent, a practice created by Betty Martin. The Wheel of Consent involves two or more people engaging in a practice of taking, receiving, and giving in a specific sequential order. The practice is focused on touching, but can also be practiced without touch. When taking a turn, one person is the giver, fulfilling their own desires while respecting the receiver's limits. When receiving, the focus is on the receiver, who expresses their desires and receives what they ask for. Boundaries and agreements play a crucial role in the practice, ensuring that both participants feel safe and empowered. The Wheel of Consent cultivates gratitude, generosity, surrender, and integrity within each quadrant of the practice. By exploring the Wheel of Consent, individuals can develop a deeper understanding of their own desires, practice clear communication, and cultivate greater intimacy in their relationships.
