We talk a lot about how to ask for consent and how to hear “yes.” But what happens when the answer is no?

This conversation is about the stuff that can come up when someone doesn’t want what we want: disappointment, rejection, embarrassment, hurt feelings, attraction that isn’t reciprocated, or the urge to take it personally. How do we make space for those feelings without making the person who said no responsible for managing them? How do we respect a boundary without punishing someone for having one? And how do we make it easier for people to be honest with us, even when the answer might be hard to hear?

This is a roundtable conversation, not a lecture. Come ready to share your experiences and perspectives, listen to other people’s, and hopefully leave with something useful to take with you.
