Dear fellow explorer,

Did you just spend one more weekend evening with … the screen and a bottle of wine?

Or maybe you went out all weekend and it still felt like one more weekend evening with … no-one special.

Or maybe you were sitting across the table from a first date when you realized your palms were sweaty, you had no idea what to say, and now that you think about it … you might not have been breathing since you arrived.

Or have you been in the middle of the hot-and-heavy with a sexual partner when they look at you breathlessly and whisper “what would you like, baby?” and you …. wish you were back home with the screen and a bottle of wine?

Or do you just want to find that person or people who are really sexy, fun, authentic, and don’t give you the heeby jeebies? 😊

There are so many of us who see ourselves as very sexual and at the same time, when touch and intimacy start actually happening, realize we’re insecure or hesitant.

If we could just find the right guide or community we might transform our sexuality and might even geek out on the subject.

And if we don’t … how many nights will we wake up wondering if we will stay in this pattern for the rest of our life?

Because maybe we’re not enough. Maybe we don’t deserve what others have. Maybe we’ll keep caretaking everyone else while our needs go unmet. Seemingly unable to ask for what we really want. Maybe we’ll keep saying “yes” to please others even though we get resentful or we're really too exhausted. Making excuses for their behavior. Or maybe even staying with them to make sure they're ok even if we are not.

Well it mos def doesn’t have to be this way!

Because deep intimate relationships ARE possible for you.

You get to be fully supported in the area of love, sex and intimacy.

You get to have joyful, authentic sensual experiences and connection.

Your love, sex, and intimacy can reflect your deepest values.

And yes, there ARE still some great partners out there - you just need the tools to find them.

There’s even an honest, fun and inspiring community ready to welcome you!

Past participants in this workshop have called the experience nothing less than life-changing.

A cathartic transformation that will help you break free from everything that is holding you back.

I bring all of my expertise forward. As one of the leading professional surrogate partners in the country, I've helped people succeed in cultivating their sexual mojo for over ten years.

I've also led hundreds of creatives, professionals and entrepreneurs through this extraordinary weekend experience and most remark how tragic it is that they didn't know these things earlier. ❤️

The weekend is designed for your success, broken down into simple concepts intermingled with gentle practices that gradually progress in intensity so you are comfortable every step of the way.

If you’re ready to go from cold and clammy to warm and fuzzy.

From disconnected to connected.

From empty to full.

Join us and cultivate the skills and capacities that will allow you to create and relish in a world’s greatest love affair of your very own.

I look forward to meeting you in the next workshop! 

Sincerely,

This is the official Wheel of Consent workshop (as developed by Dr. Betty Martin)

facilitated by River Roaring in the beautiful city of Austin, Texas.

Dr. Betty Martin developed the Wheel of Consent, wrote the book The Art of Receiving and Giving, and has now become one of the most legendary living philosophers and trainers of touch in the Western world. Her signature workshop is Like A Pro which is a training exclusively for certain touch and sexuality professionals in the United States, Europe, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

River began her studies with Betty around 2011 and has now shared the Wheel of Consent with her private clients in person for over ten years and facilitated this in person workshop consistently for the past five years. River enjoys sharing the Wheel in the classic style she witnessed Betty model over the past ten years, with her own rather raucous twists.

It’s classic Betty with River sprinkles. 

The Wheel of Consent is a set of experiences.

You will be gently guided through a progression of experiences that will invite you to open to physical sensation so you hear when your body is saying "yes" and "no" even when the situation gets intense.

You will be invited to communicate with others from an embodied place to reach surprisingly simple, clear, and liberating agreements around touch even if you feel like you fall all over your words now.

Work directly with your body, bypassing the mind and its complicated theories, so you stay in the sensual world and out of your head the very next time you interact with your partner.

Leave with muscle memory and embodied experience that you can apply immediately such as

• Literally feeling the sensations of desire in your body
• Knowing what you want and how to ask for it directly
• Knowing when your body is at a limit and honoring it so you never betray yourself with a partner again
• Getting clear about how to give touch so you never again have to guess what your partner wants
• Initiating clear open-hearted touch agreements using simple communication tools
• Entering deeply relaxed states of pleasure so you can say adios to anxiety during touch forever ❤️

✨ Oh, and the super killa bonus! ✨

After you complete the weekend, you will be invited to join together with other like-minded people who’ve taken the workshop to enjoy the company of others on the path and continue to develop the tools. 

... and then there's Wheel Fest! 😃

So this isn’t just a weekend – it's an entry point into a community. Practice sessions, socials, advanced trainings, and a new kind of relationship with others.

Are you ready to authentically connect with authentic people?

To feel joyful, safe and in integrity with your intimate and sexual partners?

To show up at your fullest, and engage with others who are there to do the same?

Help create a world where we connect with deeply embodied wisdom.

Where we honor others while expressing our own desire in the world.

Individuals & Couples

Get help with sexuality, touch, intimacy and relating. Find the ease, confidence and sensuality that is your birthright.

Professionals

Sharpen your professional consent, boundaries and facilitation skills. Embody the Wheel and apply it in your sessions and workshops.

Businesses

Create contracts and agreements with colleagues, clients, communities and the environment that align with the values of all parties.

The Wheel of Consent

is a model of consent based on, but not requiring, touch. The Wheel brings ease, sensuality, confidence, self-responsibility and freedom to the touch interaction. Yet these are touch and non-touch dynamics, and the non-touch dynamics may be of greater import.

We will gather in a small group

with no more than ten participants so you have lots of space for expansion.

You will learn simple concepts about how to cultivate capacity in your body for healthy sensual play.

You will have an opportunity to train your body using simple touch and communication practices.

This work is simple, not easy.

It’s relatively easy to access the charts and graphs about this method in print or online, however looking at a map of the Grand Canyon does not mean you have hiked the Grand Canyon.

Looking at the Wheel on paper or screen, or learning the Wheel for an hour or two in a different workshop, is not the same as joining together with an intentional group for a weekend of embodied practice.

In this workshop, you will be invited to experience the Wheel from the ground up with your body, beginning with preparation for the quadrants, and ending with an opportunity to grow deeper into each quadrant. You will be guided through a hike down into the Grand Canyon.

The Wheel has the potential to begin as a concept, blossom to life as a practice, and then inspire a lifetime of joy as it becomes a way of life.
