SUMMARY:Polyamory Day
DESCRIPTION:November 23rd is National Polyamory Day. On that day in 2011\, BC’s Supreme Court ruled that Canada’s so called “anti-polygamy law” does not apply to unformalized polyamorous households – clarifying that polyamory\, as it is typically practiced in Canada\, is legal and not a criminal act. \n

SUMMARY:Virtual NCSF Consent to Kink Workshop for Albany Power Exchange (APEX)
DESCRIPTION:First there was SSC\, then RACK\, now… EPP – Explicit Prior Permission for consent to kink! The NCSF’s Consent Counts project has succeeded in decriminalizing BDSM in the new Model Penal Code on Sexual Assault\, which was approved in June 2021. This new legal framework is groundbreaking because BDSM\, even when consensual\, might still be violating your state law. In this workshop\, you’ll learn how to legally get consent for BDSM and sex\, as well as how the Consent Counts project achieved this effort. We’ll also discuss the ways the stigma of criminalization has impacted our communities\, driving us to self-regulate\, and the NCSF resources that are available to help you and your group deal with consent violations. www.ncsfreedom.org

SUMMARY:APEX - Navigating Consent for the Older Generations
DESCRIPTION:HYBRID MONDAY NIGHT PROGRAM-OPEN TO THE 18+ COMMUNITY \nThe world is changing fast\, and our community is growing exponentially. Sometimes keeping up can be really hard. Our vocabulary and our need for diversity have all changed rapidly. Consent looks very different these days than it did 20\, 10\, and even 5 years ago. While these changes are for the good of everyone\, sometimes it is difficult to change with the times\, and be as supportive\, nurturing\, and sensitive to everyone else’s needs as we need to be. \nEveryone’s way is the right way at APEX\, but these new challenges bring new mistakes (or misunderstanding\, or less success?)\, and lack of understanding brings insensitivity. Just when you thought you could safely and respectfully speak to everyone\, the goal post moves. \nTonight we will talk about some survival tools for those of us not blessed with the millennial ability to know the right thing. Specifically we will address: \nWhy things keep changing\, and why it can be so hard\nHow we adapt to important changes in the greater world\, and how it’s easier to adapt to change in this world than it may seem\nHow to keep up with what “respectful” means today\nHow to adapt to our new world and embrace those around you\nHow to support diversity in new ways\nHow to stay aware and “keep sharp” in our continuously changing environment\nHow you still get to be you\, while allowing everyone else to be them

SUMMARY:Consent Academy - Creating Consent Policy
DESCRIPTION:Consent Policy is your organization’s statement for people about how consent should be practiced in your space and during your events. It’s essentially the informed consent you give people so they know what the expectations and assumptions are. And\, it lets people know what happens when those expectations are broken. Simple concept. Complex execution. This workshop provides a template for creating a basic consent policy. We’ll talk about best practices\, things to watch out for\, and templates for policy creation. We’ll even build an example policy together. If your organization doesn’t have a written consent policy\, or yours is out of date\, take this class. \n3 Hour Online Zoom Workshop with Q&A throughout. Handouts and Zoom link will be emailed on the morning of the workshop.

SUMMARY:Consent Academy - How Do I Know if I'm Ready to Consent?
DESCRIPTION:Consent is more than saying “yes” or “no” to something. We first need to know if we want it; if we’re ready to even consider moving forward. For some\, this is easy. For others of us\, it’s not\, and it gets more complicated all the time. This is true around issues of sex\, sexuality\, and relationships. And it’s just as true around issues of work\, parenting\, friendships\, and many other parts of life. \nJoin our consent experts as we discuss ways to explore the internal questions around consent. We’ll look at how you can know when you’re ready to move forward\, ways you can clarify when you’re not\, and what to do if you can’t make up your mind. We’ll explore how to engage better communication and strategies for telling people when you’re not ready. And we’ll look at the tricky parts of moving from being unsure to either stating your boundaries or giving affirmative consent. \nThis class is for everyone\, but especially those who have ever wondered if they’re ready to move forward with something.

SUMMARY:Consent Academy - Consent Chat
DESCRIPTION:In these monthly discussions we explore the current state of consent culture through a facilitated discussion (never recorded). Please come prepared to share what the practice of consent is like for your community\, in your relationships\, and within your own body; how consent is affirmed; and how consent violations are handled. Or come just to witness the discussion and learn more about our philosophy. We hope that by providing an open forum potential pathways for growth will be revealed\, supportive connections will be made\, and steps toward consent culture will be taken. \nAnyone of open mind is welcome to attend. Donations are appreciated\, but not required.

SUMMARY:Consent Academy - Consent Advocates: Training & Use
DESCRIPTION:A Consent Advocate is a person who steps in and supports someone involved in a consent incident. They’re rarely professionals\, just people with training who can offer practiced support when things go wrong. It’s not an easy role\, but it makes a huge difference in how an organization or group gets through a consent incident. Having a consent advocate\, ideally two\, on hand will reduce the overall stress\, speed healing\, and improve outcomes. This workshop covers the basics of what it means to be a Consent Advocate: what it is\, how you do it\, why it’s worth doing\, and the difficulties that come along with it. We will practice the skills of bystander intervention and emotional/psychological first aid. Both things you’ll need to provide support for people who have experienced harm.
