Community Agreements

1. I agree to breathe, to feel, to be present, and to be authentic in my body, emotions, and truth.

I commit to showing up as I am-without pretending, performing, or numbing. I will meet the moment with presence and listen to the wisdom of my body and feelings, even when discomfort arises.

2. I agree to arrive on time for all sessions and gatherings, and to stay present throughout the experience.

Timeliness and presence help maintain the energetic integrity of the group. I understand that arriving late or disengaging can affect the safety and flow of the container for others.

3. I agree to ask clearly and directly when I desire support, guidance, or connection.

Rather than expecting others to intuit my needs, I will practice making explicit, respectful requests and remain open to hearing yes or no.

4. I agree to be open, receptive, and coachable-willing to hear reflections, boundaries, and feedback from facilitators and fellow participants.

This space is a mirror for growth. I honor the wisdom of feedback when offered with care, and I commit to staying curious rather than defensive.

5. I agree to take full responsibility for my experience, my emotions, and my boundaries.

No one else is responsible for managing my emotional state. I will communicate my needs, tend to my triggers, and advocate for myself with kindness and clarity.

6. I agree to uphold a non-violent space-emotionally, physically, and energetically-toward myself, others, and the container as a whole.

This includes refraining from shaming, blaming, manipulation, or coercion, as well as treating physical spaces and others' bodies with care.

7. I agree to refrain from the use of drugs and alcohol while on the land.

I understand that this is a space of altered states through breath, embodiment, and connection-not through substances. Clarity and consent require sobriety.

8. I agree to speak directly and respectfully with anyone I have an issue with, and not to gossip.

If tension arises, I will address it with the person involved or seek support from a facilitator. I will not process interpersonal conflicts with uninvolved parties.

9. I agree to ask for consent before offering feedback, and to offer it only at a time that feels mutually respectful and appropriate.

Feedback is most supportive when it's wanted. I will not assume others want advice or reflection and will wait for a clear invitation before sharing.

10. I agree to practice enthusiastic, informed, and ongoing consent in all interactions.

Consent is not a one-time checkbox-it is a living, evolving conversation. I will listen deeply, respect boundaries, and ensure that all touch and intimacy arise from clear, mutual, and enthusiastic agreement.

11. I agree to honor confidentiality.

What is shared here stays here. I will not discuss others' stories, identities, or experiences outside this space. This includes not sharing photos or recordings without explicit consent.
