How close is too close? How far is too far? How much space between people does a relationship need to be nourishing and safe?

I invite you to the fourth edition of the workshop, during which we will explore answers to these questions and learn how to consensually establish the amount of closeness and distance in a relationship to meet the needs of the people who create it.

During the meeting:

- we will talk about three main human needs: safety, connection, and autonomy, and how and why they can come into conflict
- we will refer to attachment styles and try to look at them from a new perspective
- we will discuss the death of relationships through closeness suffocation and distance breakdown and how to counteract them
- we will create an opportunity to experience closeness and distance in a sense of safety
- we will perform practices that help exercise noticing and consciously establishing the amount of closeness and distance in a relationship

The workshop includes educational and experiential elements. During the meeting, we perform practices that involve body awareness, movement, and space, and we share observations and experiences. Practices are performed individually, in pairs, and in groups. During the practice, touch between participating individuals may or may not occur. During the meeting, we do not work with erotic energy or nudity.

Agnieszka Szeżyńska - sexuality trainer for adults, consent educator on the certification path in the Wheel of Consent model, linguist, critical and systemic thinking trainer. She conducts workshops and bodywork sessions, helping clients build embodied lives and relationships based on the foundations of consent, care, and safety, which enable curiosity, exploration, and experiencing pleasure. In her work, she combines threads of individual agency with the challenges of functioning in systems that enforce bodily obedience.

She helps educators and facilitators of developmental processes, as well as institutions, to name the challenges arising at the intersection of consensuality and hierarchy, to exercise power consciously of their privilege, and to create systems that learn and actively care for the well-being of the people within them, their right to self-determination, and freedom from systemic violence.

Author of books in the 'Intimacy Workshops' series. Co-creator of the Institute of Positive Sexuality in Warsaw.

This meeting is inspired by the Wheel of Consent® model created by Dr. Betty Martin. I am training at the School of Consent and am on the path to facilitator certification in the Wheel of Consent model. More information can be found on the website www.schoolofconsent.org.
