I agree to respect my own boundaries and those of others at all times. I agree to seek clear verbal consent before any intimate interaction. Intimate contact will occur only when there is a full "yes" from all involved. I recognize that "maybe" is not a "yes" and will treat it as a "no." I understand that some of the festival's content includes nudity (partial or full), sexuality, and intimate touch. Participation in such workshops is my free choice, and I can opt out of any activity that doesn't align with my boundaries. I understand that purchasing a ticket with a bed in a shared room or dorm room is subject to a free spot in 2, 3, 4, or 5 people rooms, according to availability. I understand that my room preference will be taken into consideration, but that beds within the rooms are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. I agree not to take ANY pictures or film during the workshops or ceremonies. The only ones allowed to take pictures or videos are the official festival photographers.

The organization is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged personal items, including cars, money, jewelry, phones, laptops, etc. Valuables should not be left unattended in rooms, tents, or vehicles. I acknowledge that the festival is a personal journey within a group setting, requiring personal responsibility for my experience. Participation may evoke strong emotions or past traumas. While the space can facilitate deep healing, it is not a therapeutic environment and is not equipped to handle complex psychological issues. Support is available, but it does not replace professional therapy.
