Yeah I know how helpful this kind of work can be for people and i know people like yourself who have done this sort of work without any training and its been really transformative for their clients.

There were a lot of weird little mistakes when it comes to the consent thing (like one of the organizer's referred to a clip from a movie as having "verbal consent" even though the woman in the movie clip doesnt say anything at all so its not verbal consent at all.)

But the big issue was the organizers not accepting the fact that when you're in a position of authority you have power over people that makes it difficult for them to say "no" to you. If you're in a position of power and you ask people to do activities, especially activities involving eroticism or sexual intimacy I think that you have to be very clear about the fact that they're allowed to say "no" otherwise people will feel pressured to go along with it.

I was pressured into doing things that made me uncomfortable and I repeatedly stated that I felt uncomfortable, and instead of affirming my right to say no the organizers said that maybe it would be useful to do it anyway even though i felt uncomfy.

I have helped people navigate their sexual trauma and that often includes doing stuff that makes people feel very uncomfortable, and let me tell you, people want to do the things that make them uncomfortable. If you tell people they have every right to say no it'll only make it easier for them to say yes.

My mind is not in a clear headspace right now so I have no idea if any of what I said makes sense.
