Conscious Communication

Event Title:
Conscious Communication

Description:
Words have power. They may not always result in the outcome or feelings we desire. Being able to express ourselves consciously, intentionally, and from a place of dignity and empowerment is a gift to ourselves and to others.

In this workshop participants will learn the art of communication. They will practice skills to clearly state boundaries, uphold agreements, and consciously state and receive yes, no, and maybe or I would like to try.  

This workshop is inspired by Tonya’s mentor and friend, Goddess Amina Peterson of Atlanta School of Tantra who reminds us daily, “Words are the spells we cast”.

ABOUT THE FACILITATOR:
Tonya is a woman of diverse skills and talents. She has walked the paths of child, daughter, sister, mother, spouse, partner, business woman, performer, teacher, facilitator, and so many more. She is an Autistic, queer, white woman of the American South who is kinky and consensually non monogamous. She has been active in the pagan, energy work, poly, and kink communities for over 20 years.  Tonya has been studying and practicing wellness modalities since early childhood. Her passion for wellness has led her to become an Erotic Embodiment Practitioner, Conscious Erotic Touch Practitioner, Reiki Master, body stress ritual facilitator, consultant, educator, and coach. She is currently in the final stages of becoming an AASS Certified Sexologist. In Tonya’s words, “As a society, we have been taught to ignore the relationship between our body, mind, and spirit. This denies us the pleasure and peace found when we are fully embodied. It denies us the ability to recognize that we are already whole and divine beings. My goal is to support individuals as they learn to live and love fully.”   All of Tonya’s workshops are a safer space for all bodies and identities.
