Upcoming classes
boundaries + consent education based in connection + creativity
Here’s what you should know about classes at @consent.wizardry:
As soon as you register for a class, you’ll receive an email with everything you need to attend. Registration usually includes access to the recording of the class so you can rewatch it later.
Recordings are not available for sale after the class has begun; you only get them if you sign up for class in advance (unless otherwise specified). I do have some recorded classes available on their own!
My approach is integrative, somatic, beyond binary yes and no, trauma-informed, anti-carceral, and anti-cancellation.

The Boundaries + Consent Workbook is a good companion to any class.
Hi, I’m Mia. I’m an author, multi-media artist, and an intimacy coordinator for TV, film, and theater. It’s my mission to make consent education as digestible and widely available as possible so you can identify your desires, needs, and boundalries and authentically express them to others in your own unique voice. Relationships are my life’s work.

Guilty pleasure
with mia + dean spade
VIRTUAL: Wednesdays and Sundays, December 3-14, 11am-12:30pm PT / 2–3:30pm ET. Recordings are included with registration in advance; they will not be for sale after the fact.
What do romcoms teach us about romance, friendship, boundaries, and consent? In this class we’ll study four 90’s romcoms as a way into examining how the romance myth shapes our expectations and behaviors in relationships of all kinds. We’ll look at cultural norms about how we make requests and say yes and no to each other alongside feminist, liberatory models for practicing consent.
This class will help you find out where you are avoiding asking for what you want, or telling people what you don’t want, and offer ways to break out of patterns of avoidance, indirectness, pushiness, and appeasing. All of us have these habits, from living in a culture of coercion and extraction. In these difficult and dangerous times, building relationships skills that help us practice authentic connection and collaboration with each other is essential. We need to stick together and care for each other so we can fight back.

2026 January 5-week
Boundaries + Consent for People Pleasers
with Mia
VIRTUAL: Tuesdays Jan 20–Feb 17, 5–7pm PT / 8–10pm ET. Recordings are included with registration in advance; they will not be for sale after the fact.
Are you giving past your capacity and then resenting other people for it? Are you struggling to feel your boundaries? Do you freeze when it’s time to say “no”? You may be people pleasing — stuck in the “fawning” or “appeasement” response, putting others’ needs before yours, and doing what you think people want in order to avoid conflict.
This course will give you practice tools to access your confidence, ask for what you want, say no, take rejection with gratitude, advocate for yourself, harness stress so you can propel yourself to act, and apply these skills outward through examples from TV and film.

2026 FEBRUARY 5-WEEK
WHAT IS THIS FEELING? A POLYAMORY WORKSHOP SERIES
with Mia
VIRTUAL: Wednesdays, February 4 - March 4, 10am-noon PT / 1-3pm ET. Recordings are included with registration in advance; they will not be for sale after the fact. Please note that this class involves a lot of breakout-room exercises, so attending live sessions is highly recommended!
For me, polyamory is a commitment to honesty, both to myself and others. It’s a commitment to self-growth through relationships, to understanding myself, my needs, my desires, my boundaries, and learning to express them in increasingly authentic and clear ways.
I don’t know anyone who’s polyamorous for the sex, contrary to popular belief. It’s too complicated! Too much work! For most of the people in my life, myself included, polyamory is about connection, intimacy, and care. It allows us to expand our definitions and ideas of what a relationship is and can be. Polyamory allows us to queer relationships, unlearn unhelpful and even damaging narratives of sex, gender, and love we receive from the media, and get our needs met without falling into codependent traps.
This class uses consent principles to support you in uncovering your own cues of crushing, falling in love, jealousy, pulling away, wanting more, urgency, boundaries coming up or being pushed, so you can express yourself fully and honestly and build sustainable, long-lasting relationships of all kinds.

consent educator training + Teaching Artist Program
CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT AND CREATIVE AND BUSINESS SUPPORT FOR ARTISTS, CONSULTANTS, FREELANCERS, + EDUCATORS
with Mia + guest teachers
This VIRTUAL program comes in two options:
Open to all: Consent Educator Training, Mondays May 4 - June 8, 10am-noon PT / 1-3pm ET. The Consent Educator Training includes Meenadchi’s Decolonizing Nonviolent Communication class and Brooks Herr’s class on Grief.
By application only: Full Teaching Artist Program, which includes Consent Educator Training, my “Is this right?” course, a Business Support course, and three one-on-one sessions with me. Mondays from may 4-18, then Mondays and Wednesdays May 20-July 6, 10am-noon PT / 1-3pm ET. For me, polyamory is a commitment to honesty, both to myself and others. It’s a commitment to self-growth through relationships, to understanding myself, my needs, my desires, my boundaries, and learning to express them in increasingly authentic and clear ways.
Do you feel like you do too many things? Are you a jack of all trades, master of none? You think the things you do might all be related, but you’re struggling to connect the dots? Have you reached the limits of other forms of support (such as talk therapy), either as a practitioner or a client, and do you want practical tools, skills, vocab, and exercises for yourself and your clients?
This program will help you bring consent work into your art and build a teaching practice and business that sustains your artwork. You will learn tools to access your creativity, work through perfectionism, mythbust the idea that making money off your work makes you a baaaaaaad evil Capitalist, and find or reconnect with your voice. You will embody consent and feel your boundaries in subtler and deeper ways, and you’ll be able to support others in doing the same. You’ll receive business support to tackle people pleasing and perfectionism, reckon with your inner critic, build a brand manual and successful social media presence, market yourself while prioritizing your self expression, and prevent burnout.
