International Day of Consent 2024
Founders Programme
"The 7th International Day of Consent is the most ambitious and varied programme yet." - Jenn Wilson
EVENTS
The International Day of Consent is about choices and decisions.
It's about the power each of us has to act:
>>> to do as we are told... or to question the rules
>>> to fit in with what's expected... or to shape the world around us
>>> to abuse, judge, blame and shame... or to find common ground and connection.
It's about supporting each other to say "No" to what harms us and "Yes" to what benefits us all

Hi I am your host, Jenn Wilson, aka 'Irregular Jenn'
I'm an artist, activist and founder of the International Day of Consent
Like so many of us, I spent decades of my life trying to "fit in" with what was expected of me - with "normal" social standards. I wanted to make a success of my life, and I did OK - had a career, a marriage a home... but I was unfulfilled. I'd done what I thought I had to, not what I had chosen.
When I started questioning assumptions and doing what was right for me, I also began doing things that made a meaningful difference in the world and to the people around me.
The International Day of Consent encourages all of us to make the bold choice to show up for ourselves and each other - to challenge the inequalities and injustices we were taught to tolerate and to start shaping the world around our brilliant uniquenesses.
Consent is so much more than a simple ‘yes’ or ‘no’. Consent is about how we connect, with ourselves, with each other, and with the world we make together. Consent is transformative.
The strategies I learned as I built the irregular life I now love have been tried and tested over years of supporting clients to live a value-driven life.
I want to share this with you so you can get deep satisfaction and joy from the impact you make in your work, your business, your relationships and the world.
Working with me provides the frameworks you need to:
Unlock the power of your authentic personal choices to achieve your most meaningful ambitions
Communicate with confidence, honesty and integrity, setting and holding stronger, bolder boundaries for life balance
Build deeper, more trusting relationships with clients, colleagues, family and loved ones
Take control of the direction of your own life and fall (back) in love who you are and what you do
Relentless Kindness
Playful Curiosity
Radical Consent
NO to Normal
