Synopsis

Due to unforeseen circumstances we have had to change the date of this livestream to Monday April 12,  2021 , 10 am -1am AEST.  We apologise for any inconvenience.  Join Nigel Poulton and Alicia Rodis from Intimacy Coordinators and Directors in USA for a discussion of the role of an intimacy co-ordinator.  This In Conversation is geared towards someone who would like to explore the opportunity to become an Intimacy Co-ordinator in Australia.  What are the pre-requisites, what does it entail and what is the commitment to become accredited?  All these questions – and your own, will be answered in this one hour event.  There will be time for audience questions.   Please note: This livestream will take place at 10am Australian Eastern Standard Time.  You will be sent a Zoom link prior to the event. This event is the prelude to the Equity Foundation announcing 5 online scholarships to train under Alicia Rodis and the ICD team from June through to December, 2021 to gain a ‘Certificate of Completion’.  This certification enables the graduates to provide the services of an Intimacy Co-ordinator, under the continuing guidance of Intimacy Directors and Co-ordinators Inc.  We strongly suggest anyone thinking of applying for the scholarship to attend this In Conversation. This live stream will be made available as a podcast.
