Embodiment, Touch & Conscious Relating in Somatic Consent – May weekend Immersion
“The 85-year Harvard Study of Adult Development has unequivocally demonstrated that positive relationships are the number one determining factor for overall health, well-being, longevity and happiness” – Fleet Maull, Phd
A Weekend Immersion to Reclaim Your Boundaries, Desires & Authentic Connection
Do you find yourself saying ‘yes’ to people when you really mean ‘no’?
Are you struggling with boundaries, emotional overwhelm, or unfulfilling relationships?
Are you are longing for deeper intimacy but unsure how to ask for what you truly want?
You are not alone.
Many of us have been conditioned to override our inner truth, leading to disconnection, burnout, and relational patterns that don’t serve us.
This experiential weekend immersion offers a transformative space to break free from cycles of over-giving, self-abandonment, and unspoken needs. Through somatic practices, embodied consent, and conscious touch, you’ll learn to listen to your body’s wisdom, honor your authentic desires, and cultivate deeply nourishing relationships—without guilt or fear.
What You Will Gain:
✔ Authentic Boundaries: Learn to recognize, trust, and voice your true ‘yes’ and ‘no’ with clarity and confidence.
✔ Empowered Communication: Express your needs and desires without fear of rejection or judgment.
✔ Somatic Awareness & Nervous System Understanding: Learn how your nervous system shapes power dynamics, social engagement, and your ability to connect authentically.
✔ Healthy, Fulfilling Relationships: Transform patterns of people-pleasing, avoidance, or emotional shutdown into clear, conscious relating.
✔ Safe, Embodied Touch: Explore the art of consensual touch and intimacy in a way that feels deeply nourishing and fully within your control.
Who Is This For?
This training is open to everyone—no prior experience is required. Whether you’re looking to enhance your personal relationships or deepen your connection with yourself, this weekend will provide tools for greater clarity, confidence, and presence.
Highly beneficial for:
🔹 Therapists, bodyworkers, coaches, and healing practitioners who want to become more trauma-informed, refine their boundaries, and create safer, more ethical spaces for clients.
🔹 Business owners, managers, and leaders looking to foster better communication, consent culture, and emotional intelligence within their teams.
🔹 Professionals and caregivers seeking to separate personal wounds from client interactions, ensuring they bring their best selves to their work.
🔹 Anyone ready to heal their relational patterns and embody deeper self-trust, empowerment, and connection.
In this training, you’ll experience a blend of theory and experiential practices, giving you not just an intellectual understanding but a felt sense of the transformation happening within you. You’ll walk away with concrete tools for communication, emotional regulation, boundary-setting, and relational healing that you can apply in every aspect of your life.
Remember, there is no expectation for participation in exercises that don’t feel right for you. Your boundaries will always be honored.

What some previous participants have to say after participating in this training:
John, Limerick:
“lf anyone is in any doubt about the transformative power of the somatic consent workshop I would be more than happy to recount my own experience and proffer my most enthusiastic and heartfelt recommendation.
Thank you Teertha”.
Rebecca, Cork:
“I have been on a healing journey for the past 10 years and this workshop has definitely been one of the best decisions I have made in my quest to understand myself more, release trauma, learned conditioning, and heal. I was a bit nervous about attending the workshop but was immediately put at ease by Teertha’s presence. She is a beautiful woman and a kind soul who has an innate ability to understand and help others reach their true potential and embody their light.
The principles of the workshop were brought to life in many fun and engaging practices that Teertha seemed to organise on an intuitive level. It made me realise how out of touch I have been in my body over the past while. I felt stimulated and energised as I explored myself and the environment in a way I would have never thought of doing before this beautiful weekend. I felt feelings and sensations that I have not felt for some time but have been longing for. The exercises encouraged me to challenge myself, connect to my desires, and ask for what I truly want. I also learned to truly listen to and respect the boundaries of others without taking it personally or feeling like I was somehow at fault.
This workshop has made me realise how much I have been missing human connection and touch and has been a catalyst for me to invite more fun and love into my life. It has brought my attention to old patterns and worn-out ways of being that are no longer serving me or anyone else. Despite all the education I have received and the books I have read, nothing has topped the learning I have gained from this weekend. It is a teaching that has been ingrained and one that I am sure will stay with me forevermore. I can already see a change in my communication and connection with others, and I am pleased to notice how challenging relationships in my life are beginning to heal. The only thing I regret is that I did not do this sooner so thank you Teertha, and thank you also to all the other beautiful souls who I had the pleasure to meet and work with over the weekend. 10/10!“
Joyce, Dublin:
“I recently took part in a training in Cork with Teertha, the art of consent choice and communication. As always with Teertha, from the word go I felt very comfortable and safe, even though it was a content I felt a bit unsure about at the beginning. But I have to say, it was amazing and so empowering! Teertha is a wonderful teacher and makes the space feel very safe and is always at hand to help and to make sure that everything is explained in a way that when we leave and go home, we can carry the training with us and simply apply the tools into life. With Teertha teaching it, I would not hesitate to recommend this training to everyone I meet. I look forward to going deeper in the future with my amazing teacher Teertha. Thank you. Yours sincerely, Joyce.
Daithi, West Cork:
“Working with Teertha has been some of the most important personal development I’ve done to date and the most beautiful gift I could have ever given myself. Although I recognise I’m a work in progress, I remain on the pathway to becoming the man I want to be and look forward to beginning a new journey with her this May. Le Grá, DaithaÍ”
Jonelle, Cork:
“The somatic consent weekend workshop with Teertha was ostensibly about creating safe space to explore consensual, platonic touch – and it was this. The exercises in touch exploration were playful, challenging, delightful, deep and nourishing. The room was frequently flooded in oxytocin… But, in combination with the theory that was offered and very clearly articulated by Teertha throughout, touch became the playground for exploring and embodying the basic principles of self-responsibility and sovereignty, healthy relating and communicating, connecting with and expressing personal truth, desire and boundaries – and for experiencing each of these as part of the inextricably woven web of being a human in healthy, reciprocal, and pleasurable relationship and community with other humans.
This should be basic life learning from very early childhood, but our culture is so far from this reality. I experienced a deep grief, at the end of the workshop, for the tragedy of this, especially having witnessed throughout the weekend how quickly and profoundly this work sets in for people, when safety is cultivated and the invitation is present.
On top of this grief, I also felt an even deeper relief for having experienced how it might all be possible. I have no doubt that this work has the potential to transform culture.
Teertha is a skilled facilitator. She lives what she teaches, communicates crystal clearly, and cultivates an extraordinarily safe space for the exploration that this work requires. I plan on delving deeper into this work, and would highly recommend this workshop to literally anybody (needless to say!)”.
The consent weekend with Teertha was a very informative, deepening of my tool box for techniques for a better future. I can be very independent and feel I have all the tools I need, yet in some situations I kept making the same mistakes or engaging with the same dynamics. This weekend fine tuned techniques I had and greater informed the reason why they worked.
The intimacy we developed over the weekend within our group was also such an inspiration and an expression of Teertha’s skill to facilitate and guide a group of strangers towards openness and deep trust.
Teertha’s teaching model is very focused and easy to digest, punctuated with her own personal life stories of obstacles and victories as the consent work embedded itself into her self care programme.
Illustrations of each stage are written and explained so visuals as well as games help the information given to be absorbed.
I would highly recommend this work as essential in helping relationships with both self and others to bloom and flourish. Healthy boundaries create space to expand into a safer space of open hearted connection.
