Ron Eis (they/them) is a somatic consent educator, workshop facilitator, polyamorous being and writer. Eis’ work is rooted in the belief and experience that colonial, capitalist, cis-heteropatriarchal structures have severed our connection to body-mind-spirit, and that consent – when reimagined beyond permission – can be a powerful path to repair. Eis holds a BA in International Relations and an MSc in Political Thought from the School of African and Oriental Studies (SOAS), where they focused on decolonial thought, transfeminist, queer and crip theory. They view consent as a relational practice, collective labour, a political orientation and a tool for collective liberation.
