November Community Meeting
We look forward to joining together in our community meeting on Wednesday 16th November. We at the ACSB have really appreciated hearing from you in the community meetings and would love to encourage more members to come and join us and share your experiences.
Our theme this month will be sharing and building community. We will start with a short embodiment practice to attune with each other and arrive. There will then be space for to share any concerns about the recent article published (link here) which we are still in the process of responding to.
We then invite you to share inspiring stories of any personal or professional training that you have recently engaged in and to share how it is enhancing your practice and relationships. This is a great way to share new resources we have discovered and to inspire each other as well as nourishing our community with some positive stories.
October Community Meeting
Join us this Wednesday, October 19th to weigh in on the next direction of the ACSB. How can the ACSB support you more in your practice? How do you want to level up your skills? What do you see as the role of the ACSB in shaping our professional standards? Should continued professional education and supervision be requirements for maintaining standing in the organization? We want to know what you think!
Past event: ACSB Ethics Summit
In 2022 the ACSB held our Inaugural Ethics Summit in service to evolving our professionalism and integrity in the fields of Sexological Bodywork & Somatic Sex Education. It took place over Zoom, April 1-3, 2022.
The Summit was open to the public, with two member-only sessions discussing the ACSB Grievance Process and 2022 revisions to the Code of Ethics & Conduct.
We had an incredible lineup of presenters and workshops. This was a highly interactive experience where we got to come together to articulate and develop practices of listening, learning and repair, in keeping with our values and the sensitive, intimate nature of our work.
Keynote Speakers:
Dr. Claire Macaulay: Ethics for Rebels and Radicals – how can history inform our future?
Kai Cheng Thom - What Has Love Got to Do With Justice?
Interactive Workshops:
The Power in The Space – Intricacies & Ethics Facilitated by Dr. Claire Macaulay
Where Ethics Hits the Road – Facilitated by Kai Cheng Thom
Weaving Ethics in Community: A Dialectical Round-Table – Facilitated by The ACSB Ethics and Grievance Council
