The Sentinel
The Art of Receiving and Giving | The Wheel of Consent ® is a groundbreaking framework and awareness practice developed by Dr. Betty Martin. The practice is simple, subtle, and profound.
We will explore a foundational practice for relating that transforms our ability to connect with ourselves and others. Our increased awareness enables more authentic relationships centered in safety, clarity, and ease. Applied professionally, it makes us more effective practitioners, able to affect human change and healing. Applied personally, it allows us to access deeper and more meaningful connections.
Using the Wheel of Consent®, we develop our capacity to tune into and notice our subtle somatic cues and our ability to skillfully and gracefully navigate interactions and dynamics in intimate and professional relationships.
Since its inception, it has been brought into schools, universities, therapist programs, and organizations around the world and reshaped how therapeutic practitioners are trained.

The three ninety-minute sessions will offer a practical approach to the understanding and application of mindful intelligence (MQ) and Open Awareness Meditation exploring the traditional elements of Satipatthana Bhavana – the ancient Buddhist practice of “All Posture, All States Mindful Intelligence Meditation “as well as its contemporary metalanguage into the Art of Whole-Mind and Body Awareness.
This training applies to anyone with a love of higher learning, the exploration and integration of non-ordinary states of consciousness, and nonviolent activism, psychedelic-assisted therapists, psychologists, psychotherapists, clinicians, and plant medicine adventurers and more.

This day-long retreat will offer grounding in the meditation practices of lovingkindness, compassion, joy and equanimity. In our yoga practice we will embody these natural qualities of the heart, releasing habits of holding and settling us into a peaceful spaciousness. The stillness and beauty of the Sentinel encourages us to deeply listen and relax, opening us into our true loving nature.

“What would it be like to live in a well-rested world? Far too many of us have claimed productivity as the cornerstone of success. Brainwashed by capitalism, we subject our bodies and minds to work at an unrealistic, damaging, and machine level pace –– feeding into the same engine that enslaved millions into brutal labor for its own relentless benefit” –Tricia Hersey
In the fast-paced world we live in which focuses so heavily on doing, accomplishing and striving it is so rare that we take the time to slow down, to rest and simply be. These fast and action orientated ways are templated into our nervous system and psyches; many people when given the time to slow down don’t know what to do with themselves, fear boredom or just simply don’t know how to shift gears. We are living in a society that glorifies this busyness and supports “grind culture”.
