Code of Conduct
I facilitate workshops on intimacy and personal growth. This work lives at the intersection of body, emotion, and trust — and I take that seriously. Out of respect for the participants, the organizers who invited me, the communities I am involved with, and the global community of practitioners in the field of intimacy and personal development.
These standards exist because I believe masculine leadership requires strict standards to maintain a positive influence in the world. When the leadership is trustworthy, people can actually feel safer and be safer.
This code applies to me only — not to people I work with. I do recommend requesting the same professional integrity from other practitioners too.
I do not engage in any form of private physical contact — personal or professional — with anyone I hold a facilitator or community role with.
Workshop participants
I do not engage in any private physical contact with participants of my workshops for a minimum of 6 months after their last participation.
Shared closed community
I do not engage in any private physical contact with members of a shared closed community (e.g. a residency, cohort, or program) for a minimum of 6 months of knowing each other within the community.
I am aware that “6 months” may feel arbitrary — some will find it too short, others too long. Integrity is about heart integration, not a specific period of time. Yet I believe that codes of conduct like this one are necessary, and that they require clear, measurable, open metrics to manage expectations and to become accountable.
Public hugs and handshakes, conversation and connection, group social activities — are welcome by default. I may choose to distance myself from some physical group activities on a case-by-case basis.
