touched
Workshops
I offer workshops that provide an experiential space, guidance, and tools to help you gently uncover parts of yourself and discover where you can expand into a more authentic, joyful, and freer way of being.

“I took part in the workshop with my partner to integrate the Wheel of Consent into our relationship. We felt very seen and were able to take many insights and inspirations with us. It's great fun to play with and I'm amazed at how good it feels to really meet in consent in a partnership.”

“Nynke's way of teaching is gentle, profound and yet there is also room to have fun and laugh with her.”
It is about:
​
-
bringing clarity and joy in giving and receiving
-
clear communication
-
authentic relating
-
empowerment
-
growing in self love
Through simple exercises with and without touch you will connect to what you need, what you desire and what you don't like, where your limits are and practice communicating clearly and openly about it to the other person. For example, you can ask someone to do something for you or to do something for someone else for your own pleasure.
That can be incredibly challenging and vulnerable! You may feel shame for expressing your desires, guilt for receiving something, or fear of being rejected. I offer you the tools to make agreements with the other about who it is for and what the intention of the interaction is so that a deeper relaxation in giving and receiving can occur.
We experiment and play with touch because hands are especially suited for taking in information and experiencing what is pleasurable, thanks to the many nerve endings. Touching or being touched is always a choice; choosing what feels good for yourself is more important than the action itself. You only do what you are willing to do for the other person, or what you want yourself.
What you take away from a workshop: Greater clarity about what you want and don’t want, a sense of safety that comes from within, tools for deeper and more authentic connection with yourself and others, a stronger connection with yourself, and inspiration to live more aligned and honestly.
The workshop is based on and inspired by the “Wheel of Consent,” a powerful and enlightening method developed by Dr. Betty Martin. I have been offering this experiential workshop since 2017 and trained with Dr. Betty Martin at the School of Consent: http://schoolofconsent.org. I have been a certified facilitator at this school for four years.

Workshops are offered at various locations in Europe and Turkey, in both Dutch and English, depending on the location.
