My guest today is Sophie Christophy, co-founder of the Cabin and the Lodge, both self-directed learning communities for home educated young people.

In 2016 Sophie established the philosophy and concept of consent-based education, which is the theme of today’s podcast. We start the conversation about our dominant culture, and how we find ourselves within a patriarchal world view, regardless of our gender, and that we can all behave, mostly unconsciously in a patriarchal way by normalizing power structures.

In this episode, we dive into:

• What is consent-based education?
• Key ingredients of consent.
• What does our culture tell us about relationships, beliefs, behaviours and how do we pass this on?
• Patriarchy & normalised dynamics.
• Learning relational technology is rooted in consent.
• Living with assumptions and biases.
• From the old paradigm of patriarchy to new paradigm of consent.
• Agency for human and the more than human.
• Touching in to how we seek consent in a non-verbal relationship
