Tangle's Consent Kitchen

​Have you ever wondered why consent and negotiation problems happen so often between people that really care for each other?

​The consent education we were handed by our PE teachers in high school (if you got sex ed at all!) inform every level of our intimate experience. But it's not working, because people still get hurt, and we have no idea how to repair. Add kink or queer experience on top of that, and we're underprepared for the real experience of adult human sexuality. No checklist will create a safer experience, and no cookie cutter will design the most joyful intimate experience possible. We have to cook it up ourselves.

Enter: Tangle's Consent Kitchen! A consent and negotiation workshop unlike one you've ever attended before. Built with queer, trans, and kinky experiences in mind. Attendees of the first run called it "Effectively harm reductionist" "Expansive and Empathetic" "Anti oppressive, practical, action driven...compared to other consent classes".

You'll learn to get honest about your wants and needs, and how to negotiate amazing intimate experiences with your partners. Most critically, you'll learn how to move when things go wrong. Join us for a refreshingly candid workshop where you'll walk away ready to have your most joyful and syrupy-sweet intimate experiences.

​LOCATION & ACCESSIBILITY

​We host our in-person events at our Clubhouse in the Historic Core of DTLA. 

The building is ADA accessible. There is an elevator. Note for people with wheelchairs, canes, other walking assistance devices: the tile of the lobby floor is uneven so be careful navigating, and the bathroom is not ADA compliant.

This is a low-scent event: no perfume, cologne, or essential oils. The Clubhouse is no-shoe space. When you enter, please leave your shoes on the shoe rack by the front door. If you need an exemption, please email accessibility@fwb.events.

​PARKING

​There are paid lots, garages, and street parking within a block of the loft. We will send out additional information once your RSVP is confirmed.

​SAFTEY IN DTLA

​Please be mindful of your surroundings when arriving and leaving. Many of us are longtime downtown residents and have never personally had an issue walking around at night, but DTLA is full of interesting characters from all walks of life, especially on weekends. We love our community and ask that you're respectful of everyone you encounter.
