Setting the stage for an Amazing experience!

Community Container Agreements

    • All people are welcome: We are an inclusive, non judgmental space. All races, gender identities, sexual orientations, relationship orientation or status, religions, cultures over 18 years of age are welcome.
    • Attendance of one of our events, whether online or in person, you are agreeing to Creating a Safe Container by practicing Personal Responsibility.

Consent

  • 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 in the set container
  • Giving information to others so they can consent
  • Asking questions when needed to make sure you are in full consent
  • Always ASK Before giving feedback or offering advice
  • Always ASK Before touching someone
  • Always ASK Before sharing someone’s story or experience
  • Reply to a NO with “Thank You for taking care of yourself”
  • Celebrate NO’s
  • I can’t trust your YES if I haven’t felt your NO

Confidentiality

  • Vegas Rules
  • Share your experience, not other people’s (unless you have consent)
    • ‘My experience of this was___’
  • When having an issue or concern, address the person directly (when it can be done safely) and speak to a team member or class facilitator.

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

  • Caring for ourselves
  • Bathroom breaks
  • water
  • something is triggering you and you need support
  • Caring for the space
    • Trash cans
    • keep the place tidy
    • leave it how you found it
  • Caring for your psychology
  • practice compassion for yourself and others in their experience
  • practice non-judgement
  • don’t yuck someone else’s yum
  • If you have had a negative experience please email Stacie Ysidro (holisticprogressions@gmail.com, or use our anonymous contact form ) about what occurred and how the situation can be amended.
  • We refer to and recommend Dr Hazel Grace for information, support, and their course on The Repair Process when trust or consent has been broken.

Curiosity

  • We are a very diverse group. Most content can be seen as sensitive, taboo and vulnerable.
  • Notice when you check out or are triggered…use curiosity to come back into presence without judgment of self and others.
  • We learn more from curiosity and play than judgment and criticism.

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 is present
  • Speak in the ‘I’

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!
