Consent incidents and violations happen. When they do it creates ripples through the lives of the people involved and the community as a whole. Sometimes these are handled well. Sometimes they're not, which frequently leads to more harm.

Join us for a look at a new way to deal with consent violations that works to support the person harmed, foster accountability for the person who did the harm, and manage the response for the community at large–including transforming the conditions that allowed harm to arise.

Consent Academy is an educational collective founded in 2016 in Seattle, WA, currently with staff and volunteers all over the world. We believe consent is a part of everyday life, and its practice builds stronger, safer, and more connected communities. Our approach incorporates disciplines of psychology, sociology, public health, psychotherapy, and personal coaching to create a systemic view of how consent impacts everyone, from the bedroom to the boardroom.

INSTRUCTORS:

Adam is a community organizer, mediator, conflict transformation facilitator, kink and consent educator, and ongoing learner. Their passions lie at the intersections of disability justice, neurodivergence accessibility, trauma-informed care, consent, embodied somatics, harm reduction, and systems transformation. They desire to help people relate in safer, skillful ways that are trauma-, power-, and risk-informed. Adam is an educator with several groups including The Consent Academy, advocating for consent from the individual level to the systemic. They do consent and accountability work in many contexts and community spaces, from organizing spaces to the sex+ world. Adam sees this work as intersectional, directly connected to the better, more liberatory world they want to live in.

Asha Lerae has been a part of Consent Academy since 2018, teaching established curriculum, creating new workshops, facilitating discussion groups, and acting as a consent advocate and consultant. She became Co-director of Consent Academy in January, 2022. She is passionate about consent education as a way to reduce trauma, promote pleasure and eroticism, support accountability, and foster cultural change that balances autonomy with responsibility. Asha is also an adjunct faculty member at Antioch University Seattle, an AnteUp! certified sexuality, gender, and justice educator, a certified abortion doula, and somatic sex educator.
