Many spaces.
One connected body of work.

Three thematic lines

What the work is about

01

Perspectives

Recovery and orientation. Texts and methods for situations in which everyday life, the future or one's own path have become uncertain.

02

Mindfulness

Awareness and self-regulation. Everyday, body-based and low-barrier approaches to presence, wellbeing and self-direction.

03

Dialogue

Participation and shared decisions. Procedures for conversations, facilitation and decision-making in which objections carry weight and power remains visible.

Konsent is the German term used here for consent-based decision-making: proposals move forward when no reasoned, paramount objection remains.

Lines of development

From publication to practice

A professional question becomes a working paper, the paper becomes a method, the method becomes a course — and possibly, later, a real place.

Perspectives

Recovery-Kompass

From working paper to method, foundation course and project vision.

About konsent.one

Why this site?

The work of the Konsent network is developed across different places: essays on konsent.berlin, courses on konsent.training, openly published working papers, methods on their own project sites. konsent.one answers three questions: What exists? How is it connected? Where can I read on, learn, or get involved?

Every text is connected to at least one method, one course or one project. This turns scattered websites into one connected body of work.
