11 am-6 pm Eastern Time (New York)

Best Practices: This workshop offers a comprehensive overview of TIE’s foundational principles, grounded in over 15 years of research. Participants will learn TIE’s best practices, including tools for developing a consent-based process, setting boundaries, de-loading and desexualizing the process, choreographing intimacy, and documentation. Each person will leave Best Practices with actionable tools and the confidence to be more effective in the room. 

Why is this course a prerequisite for a majority of TIE Workshops? This course is a prerequisite because the workshop it covers is the foundation for all of TIE’s research. Other TIE workshops assume participants have completed this workshop and have a basic understanding of the 5 Best Practices.
