ONLINE: Trauma-Informed Age Play: Through the Lens of Consent with Draven
2025-02-23 14:00 - 16:00
This series will explore the 4C’s of trauma-informedness (Compassion, Consent, Care, and Caution) to understand the cultural and historical aspects of harm done to those who are child-like. In each of the workshops we will dive into the aspects of trauma-informedness.
You may attend all workshops or just one, it is up to you! These workshops are interconnected but can be attended individually.
This is the second in the series, the other two are 2/9: https://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/c9d6dba8c1
And 3/9:
https://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/7013fc36d5
In the first workshop, we looked at age play through the lens of compassion, exploring historical pathologies, aspects of age play, and how we can be compassionate with others and ourselves.
The second workshop will explore the concept of the complexity of consent within age play. Consent is critical to develop trauma-informed relationships with those who play as a younger age and their caregivers. We will explore how to live a consensual life within an adultist/ sanist society.
The third workshop will highlight the importance of care and caution within age-play dynamics, whether that’s individually, dually, or in a group setting. In this final workshop, we will integrate all aspects of trauma-informedness together to understand the importance of connecting with the community for a healthy life.
