Primordial Body

Workshops

Somatic consent practices for festivals, gatherings, organisations, and anywhere people come together in their bodies.

We have never been taught how our body says yes or no.

We override our nervous systems. We "go along with" touch they didn't want. They don't know how to ask for what they actually desire. They freeze when they should speak. They leave their body to keep the peace.

This isn't a personal failing. It's a structural one.

A young woman with wavy brown hair standing on a wooden platform with her eyes closed, wearing a black jacket with puffy sleeves, a patterned scarf, and a long black skirt, holding onto a tree trunk in a green forest.

We inherit patterns of protection and people-pleasing that show up everywhere: on the dance floor, in the workplace, in our most intimate relationships. Your body learned to freeze before it learned to feel.

These workshops bring the somatic intelligence people crave but don't know exists, not through lecture, but through the body itself.

Transformation starts in the body |

Ezel's gentle guidance allowed me to let go and explore a connection with my body I hadn't considered before, which felt freeing. I found myself able to try things that I would have been too self-conscious to do previously and it really opened my mind and deepened my connection with myself."

— Dil, Past participant

What makes this different

Trauma happens in relationship, so transformation has to happen there too. We acknowledge that each body’s wisdom overrides what the facilitator suggests.

It's interactive, not performative.

It's experiential, not didactic.

No lectures. No slides. The learning happens in the body. The most important principle is choosing rather than doing.

Four people sitting cross-legged on a wooden floor outdoors, in a circle, with greenery and a wooden structure in the background, participating in a meditation or prayer session.

Created by a trans masculine practitioner of colour working at the intersection of embodiment and liberation. This work doesn't pretend bodies exist outside of systems.

It's inclusive and political.

It's lineage-based.

Trained under Betty Martin (creator of the Wheel of Consent), certified in integrative somatic trauma therapy (ISTT), drawing from generative & abolitionist somatics.

Three women are lying on a wooden porch, drawing and coloring on a large sheet of paper spread out on the floor. The woman on the left has a headscarf and tattoos, the woman in the middle has curly hair and is focused on her drawing, and the woman on the right has dark curly hair, tattoos, and is using colored chalks.

Work With me

This work is adaptable

Festivals


Opening ceremonies, chill-out space programming, pre-party grounding, post-rave integration. Practices that speak directly to dance floor dynamics — consent, altered states, collective euphoria, the intimacy of strangers moving together.

Gatherings & Retreats


Deep dives into consent, touch, and intimacy. Multi-session journeys that build on each other. Practices that complement land connection, ceremony, and community building.

Workplaces & organisations


Boundary awareness for teams. Embodied communication skills. Relational practices that shift how people support to each other with dignity & solidarity.

Private Events


Gallery openings, fundraiser events, creative collaborations... Whatever you're building, we can find a way to bring the body into it. I'm open to proposals I haven't imagined yet. If you're creating something and you think embodiment practices could serve it, let's talk.
