Health and Wellness Education

Nicole Burke from Golden Well Sanctuary for Spirit and Nature has been working in the healing arts since 2006 and farming since 2012. She is trained in Japanese Medicine and Acupressure and will be providing 10 minute acupressure sessions to reduce stress. While you wait, pop bubble wrap, grab a fidget spinner, hang out in a zero-gravity chair, get a new journal, build something with play dough, and grab some sushi. Stop in for 10 minutes, or the whole time for an open relaxation space with Nicole and Barbara McCall, Director of Health and Wellness Education.

Want to learn how to prevent instances of power based personal violence? Email greendot@middlebury.edu to participate in our Bystander Training.

A consent-themed carnival to increase awareness of sexual assault statistics and issues, as well as broaden the scope of knowledge that students have regarding their resources, from Title IX to counseling. Students will learn more about healthy communication, and about healthy and enthusiastic consent, both sexual and non-sexual.

“Yes means yes,” “no means no,” “consent is like tea,” and “Nah to the ah to the, no, no, no!” – is consent really that simple? Sometimes it is… and sometimes there’s more to it. This talk is about the art and science of sexual pleasure and communication – connecting with your own sexuality and/or with a partner’s sexuality in a way that maximizes pleasure and agency.

We begin with the science of sexual response like you’ve never heard it before, especially as it relates to keeping everything consensual. As a bonus, you’ll learn Emily’s Top 5 Sex Tips for Having Better Sex Than Anyone You Know.
