About the Accountability Pod
We, Arati, Roos Reijbroek, Tanya Rozenthal and Wilrieke Sophia are professionals in the field of sexuality, intimacy and relationships. Our activities differ from each other; from consultancy to bodywork, from retreats to session work, from therapy to pleasure experiences. Our personal backgrounds are also different; we differ in terms of gender, sexual preference, ethnicity, neurodiversity, education, nationality, work experience and age. We value what we each do, and have no business interests in each other’s companies.
What we have in common is that it is not easy for each of us to join a regular professional group in the Netherlands. This is, for example, because our work is “self-created” and not regulated, because our profession in the Netherlands is too small, because our activities are too diverse, because we work in niche communities and therefore cannot meet certain conditions, or because we feel uncomfortable in an institutionalized large-scale group.
We work with clients and communities in vulnerable settings. That is precisely why we find it extra important to reflect on our work ethics and to be accountable for our actions. We are human like anyone else and despite our best intentions we sometimes misjudge, make a mistake and cause suffering. When it comes to sexuality, intimacy and relationships, integrity extends beyond the legal. We have therefore autonomously designed the advantages of a professional group, namely reflection and complaint handling, in a way that suits us: an accountability pod.
The idea of accountability comes from transformational justice, in which change is central (instead of punishment or exclusion). An accountability pod is a group of people that gathers together when something has gone wrong. Because general apologies or arguments about who’s to blame often do not solve anything, an accountability pod focuses on the interests of the person who has experienced an incident, what that person needs to be able to continue in a balanced way, and thus not on punishing the person who has caused that incident. However, the person who caused suffering is held responsible for their actions by the pod. The emphasis here is not on penance, but on clarifying behavioural patterns, changing them and being publicly transparent about this if this can serve the reporter and the community. You can read exactly how it all works [here].
In addition, we keep each other on our toes in a monthly intervision meeting that is completely devoted to work ethics: what is good and right? What responsibilities do we have in complex situations? Where can we expand our awareness of positions of power and other privileges? Although we are committed to each other, the importance of integrity and care is the starting point, even if it is difficult and confrontational.
Contacting the Accountability Pod
For anyone who interacts with us in our professional role, this means the following: have you had an experience with us in which we have caused you harm, or in which you feel we have failed? And is it not possible for you, for whatever reason, to talk about this directly with that person? Then you can approach the accountability pod. You choose the person of your preference and contact them below. Any report is taken very seriously and the interests of the reporter are paramount. The accountability pod takes care of the emotional needs of you as a reporter and of the structuring of your report. We think along about whether and how you want to involve the person who caused the suffering and if you want to talk to them, we provide mediation.
While we hope to get few messages, we are very happy if you reach out to us. It is precisely on this personal level that we make the difference between painful silence and equal transparency.

Roos Reijbroek
She/any
- Intersections I recognise myself in, are (low identifying) woman, bi/pan/queerness, intersectional feminist, neurodivergent, highly educated, white, middle class, stigmatized work background, sex positive.
- I work as a relationship counselor specialized in consensual nonmonogamy. Aside from that, I organize support groups and I’m active in organizing around CNM in my professional field. You’ll hear me speak publicly every once in a while.
- As an organizer, I’ve learned by trial and error that good intentions are not enough to make a session or workshop a “safe” space. Since I want the best for everyone who puts their faith in me, I wish to be accountable for my behavior, especially when something went wrong. In the same spirit, I wish to keep others in positions of power and care accountable for their doings. When we pay empathic attention to harm and grief, positive change happens instantly.
- People describe me as sincere, critical, crystal clear, disarming, idealistic, realistic.

Tanya Rozenthal
She/her
-
pansexual, ecosexual, sapiosexual, citizen of the world, survivor, pioneer, inspirator, healer artist, mystica, seer, medicine woman, trickster, mother, crone, nomad, peace seeker, wisdom keeper..
-
Guidance, training, therapy and coaching in the field of love, eroticism, intimacy and relationships. Sexual healing, sexual shamanism, sacred sexuality and Tantra. Embodiment alchemist, facilitator in-depth work for the groups and in tribal settings, transformative retreats & intensives, shadow work & transpersonal guidance, psychotrauma, plant medicine, ritualist-systemic healer. Ecosexuality, ecology of love and relationships.
- For me it can’t be enough about truth and maturity, being present in reality. Accountability is appropriating everything that belongs to me. And to learn to navigate that, in integrity of connection with the other. I know what it feels like to be treated unfairly, to have to deal with rejection and bullying.
-
Ethics is the power to stay in the middle and shine light from the core on everything that stands in the way of living our potential, seeing what damages us, separates us and makes us smaller. Dealing with power, learning about hidden dynamics of cultural legacies, taboos and blind spots. Exposing shadow processes. My life’s work is about restoring the original ecology of love and relationships. Because I work with traumas, I know better than anyone the importance of the clean ground on which I stand. What do I carry out, and how do I walk my talk?
- I am adventurous, empathetic, chaotic, introverted, artistic, eccentric, creative, intuitive and intellectual. My strength lies in my vulnerability and inspired wisdom.

Arati
She/her
- I identify as a woman, bi/pansexual/queer. Sex-positive, queer, non-monogamous. Mother of two, partner of Gert. Kink-friendly. Survivor of sexual abuse and long-term bullying. I was raised in a teacher’s family in a small village in North Holland.
- I work as a sexological bodyworker and somatic sex educator, coach and supervisor of change processes, Ritual Play trainer, Transformational breath breathing trainer, and Deep Tissue masseur. I work individually and also give workshops. I am the founder of Practice for Sexual Discovery Work, which is located in Nijmegen.
- Important themes for me are consent, humor, and compassion, highlighting female pleasure, trauma-informedness, and a more fun and creative sex life for everyone.
- When you work with people, their minds, hearts, and bodies, you are involved as a person in any case, including your knowledge and experience, but also sometimes with parts of yourself that you have not always fully experienced. Because it is so essential that we remain aware of this, every practitioner and workshop leader needs a place where they can be mirrored and addressed. Being accountable to each other means being visibly more reliable to our clients and participants and having a place for ourselves where we are kept sharp on things that could go wrong in an honest way. And to prevent the latter, of course.
- People call me warm, funny, and kind, but also direct and honest; I do not spare egos ;). A talent of mine is to make taboo subjects completely cozy and normal and thus break the ice.
