In order to create a space where we can feel safe to explore our creativity, connect genuinely with each other, and build a long-lasting community, we need: :

• Consent first and always! We seek an environment built around mutual consent and respect for a person's decisions and autonomy of their own body.

• Respect yourself and each other - this includes, personal boundaries, consent, creative expression, forms of communication, self talk, etc. We have no tolerance for harassment and discrimination of any kind. 

• Respect the land, the infrastructure and the art - We are grateful to be on the land and be able to co-create this event with you. Many people have poured their hearts and souls into the infrastructure and art, please don’t damage it. 

• Make Space/Take Space - We encourage you to speak up and share, and to recognize when to make space for others. If you usually feel safe and confident speaking your thoughts, try creating space for others to share. We can learn so much by deeply listening to each other. If you aren’t one to usually speak up first, we want to hear from you! 

• Share from your own perspective - share from your own experience, not from others. For example, “I experienced that too!”

• Tend to impact - even with the best of intentions, there can be unintended harmful impact. Sometimes the best thing to do is apologize for the impact, rather than explaining the intention. Understanding the difference between intention and impact can help us to move into greater accountability and empathy as we listen to each other without the need to defend ourselves. 

Hold ourselves and each other accountable to these agreements - this can be as simple as, “hey, that comment landed funny. Can I tell you why?”
