Container Agreements
By showing up at one of our events, whether online or in person, you are agreeing to the following:

Consent is a YES or NO. Consider Maybe a NO
It is freely given, without coercion or force or uncertainty
Your YES can become a NO but your NO cannot become a YES
Saying something specific and getting all the details
Always ASK Before giving feedback or offering advice

Reply to a NO with “Thank You for taking care of yourself”
Celebrate NO’s
I can’t trust your YES if you never have NO
Confidentiality

Share your experience, not other people’s (unless you have consent)
‘My experience of this was___’
Consciousness
Staying present in the moment
Our minds will naturally wander. Let’s raise our awareness to these moments and bring ourselves back
Example: When you are training a puppy to pee on a pad, he pees in the corner, bring him back to the puppy pad
Turn off any distractions (phone, apple watch, etc.)
Care

Contribution
This is a co-created experience
In order for you to get the most out of the experience, we encourage you to participate
If you have a question, ask! There are no stupid questions.
Whatever is up for you, there may be others who feel the same way, and do not have the courage to say it. We encourage everyone to speak into what’s going on.
Celebrations
Celebrate that you are here! YAY!
Celebrate even small wins!
When one celebrates, we ALL celebrate! (Queue them to Celebrate)
When one person heals, we all heal
Thank you everyone for creating a safe community where we can talk about and learn about our sexuality. It’s going to be a great day!
