For this fifth edition of the Consent Dojo, Midori is joined by Joe Zarate-Sanderlin.

Joe (they/them) lives and works in San Francisco, CA, where they specialize in working with gender, sexuality, and relationship diversity in private practice and as an EAP counselor. They have been involved in alternative sexuality communities in New York, Boston, and San Francisco for over 20 years. They teach both Human Sexuality and Therapeutic Communication & Counseling Skills in Golden Gate University’s Counseling Psychology program. Their other trainings include Talking to Clients about Sex, Non-monogamous Relationships, BDSM Relationships, and they consult on these and other topics. In their spare time, they brew kombucha, parent twins, try to ski, and coach soccer in non-COVID times.

Potential topics they will discuss;

• Creative ways to do consent / safe words
• How to deal with revocation of consent
• Nuances of ’specific’ in consent

In this series of monthly conversations, our lovely Auntie Midori will tackle your questions and share practical skills and advice based on lived experience and sensible auntieness.
