NEW MASTERCLASS ‘Consent and Wise Use of Power™

- Tools for Ethical Practice’

– One-One MasterClass training for Certified Sexological Bodyworkers & Practitioners working in the field of Sexuality

Worldwide, it is acknowledged that the original sexological bodywork training alone does not equip practitioners with all the necessary skills and tools for ethical practice in our current climate.  As practitioners working in this highly skilled work, we might inevitably have blind spots with power and consent without the structures, language, and framework to navigate these. It can be understood that we are experientially blind without symbols and language to reference and categorise unconscious dynamics at play in relationships. The absence of these structural ways of recognising these dynamics has led to multiple unintended client impacts and painful grievance processes for practitioners.

Many practitioners come into this field of work in good faith, understanding the potential of facilitating somatic openings that can integrate exiled aspects of ourselves and transform pain into pleasure. However, clients and practitioners alike can be left with emotional hangovers without the skills and resilience to navigate common intention impact mismatches. Practitioners may withdraw from this vital work, fearing the consequences of ruptures without the skills to navigate these to come back to ethical integrity and trust. Any rupture seeks acknowledgement and justice, and this training will teach you how to facilitate this and make this a turning point in a person’s healing journey, contributing to a turning point in your path with heart.

We have radically updated our CSB training here at the IRHS, which is now an 18-month training program. The first nine months provide the foundational skills in understanding the dynamics of power differentials, applying Clean Language and Body Poem™ as a coaching model that limits unintended reframes of another’s experience and our unique blend of power awareness-informed Wheel of Consent™ teachings. We have also included updates to equip practitioners to apply Sexological Bodywork and Sexological intimacy training with the Wheel of Consent™ work online with guided client self-touch.

We are passionate about sharing these essential updates with our CSB community of practitioners and other practitioners leading sexuality training or facilitating erotic practices who may have yet to receive these tools in their training to prevent this vital work from falling into disrepute.MasterClass Structure - “Consent and our Wise Use of Power™ ~ Tools for Ethical Practice. “

We have found that these are all necessary tools to support our ethical practice and are excited to share them with you.

MasterClass SPECIAL INTRODUCTORY OFFER!

Each MasterClass is 3 Hours, offering you the opportunity to learn all of the above Ethical frameworks and skills step by step in stages

We have decided to offer our Ethics MasterClass training in 1-1 sessions rather than in a group to facilitate the privacy often required with such tender navigation of ethical blindspots. This way, you can privately explore your learning edges and update your professional practice without the tendency to perform, which often happens in group training programs, especially where our reputation might be on the line. This is an opportunity to retrain privately. When enough of us have come through these professionally vulnerable times, established ethical confidence, and are well-versed in the new paradigm categorisations and structures that support this, group supervision for staying in a close-knit community can be made available.

Step 1 - Arrange a no-charge 30-minute Discovery call with Katie Sarra or Phoebe Garland - This is where you can share the learning edges you are navigating and your questions.

Step 2—Arrange a one-hour supervision session with the learning edges you are navigating, facilitated by the IRHS Supervision structure.

Step 3 - Could you send a private video session as an example of your practice? This will be held in the strictest confidence and deleted after your coaching session. This offers bespoke coaching opportunities that other types of supervision miss, with so much to learn.

Step 4—Arrange a two-hour call to receive expert coaching that includes teachings from the Right Use of Power, Wheel of Consent, Body Poem, and the latest Sexological Intimacy Training and Bodywork syllabus to update your practice and give you the ethical confidence required for working in this field in the current climate. The old training did not include these skills, and this is our offering to all practitioners trained historically who may have years of experience but need some updates rather than retraining.

Step 5—You will receive PDFs of the latest training materials we have developed over the last two years. These materials have been tried and tested by the vigilant student practitioners who have taken this new syllabus.

MasterClass Course Fees - Introductory offer - £100! - Time-limited until December 2024.
