Authentic Consent
Authentic Consent is a 6-part experiential live online course bringing together embodiment, somatic theory, trauma awareness, and consent.
Consent is more than giving or receiving a “yes” or “no.” It is an ongoing, embodied practice shaped by our nervous systems, lived experiences, culture, relationships, communication, and power dynamics
Authentic Consent is a 6-part experiential online course bringing together embodiment, somatic theory, trauma awareness, and consent.
Through discussion, embodied exploration, and practical application, participants will develop tools for recognizing what is happening within their bodies, communicating wants and boundaries clearly, navigating negotiation and changing consent, and taking responsibility for both their own experiences and their impact on others.
Grounded in the Seven Principles of Authentic Consent the course offers a framework for cultivating greater safety, autonomy, connection, and choice in our relationships, communities, and professional spaces.
We seek to move beyond understanding consent intellectually, and develop a practice that can be embodied, communicated in plain language, and applied with cultural awareness in the communities we exist in.

Aliya Alewine (she/ella) is a multidisciplinary artist, movement educator, and somatic practitioner whose work centers embodiment, consent, and creating safer spaces for people to reconnect with their bodies. She holds a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling, a 200-hour yoga certification, CrossFit Mobility certification, and a specialization in Kurunta Yoga, and is currently completing her EroSomatic Touch certification, Somatic Sexology studies through The Amina Institute, and training as a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT) at Contatto Wellness.
At the heart of Aliya’s practice is the belief that understanding our own profound desires must come first. The instructions for our path toward healing cannot be prescribed from the outside, but are found within each of us. Her role as a practitioner is not to determine that path, but to help clients name, experience, and metabolize the obstructions they encounter along the way. Through embodied consent, somatic exploration, movement, and touch, she aims to create enough spaciousness for people to listen more deeply to themselves and walk where only they know they must go.
