COURSE INSTRUCTIONS AND TIMETABLE

For motivation, precision, going deeper.

Beware of unconscious sexual exploitation

The facilitator is in a position where the participant easily projects authority. Out of that situation to have sex with a participant would be an exploitation of their vulnerable position.
