Rules

Responsibility - I will take responsibility for my body, emotions, desires, pains, pleasures, yesses, and noes. I will let you take responsibility for yours.

Confidentiality - I will only talk about my own experience and no one else’s. I will use “I” statements. I will not divulge any information that could identify any other participant.

Consent - I will give and receive time, energy, and touch through consent-forward practices. I will honor and appreciate everyone’s “no.” I will bring awareness to the power dynamics present within me, my body, and the container.

Requests

Compassion, imperfection, unlearning - I will be curious about unlearning things I have been taught to be true. I will allow myself to be imperfect in how I navigate my body and mind. And I will have compassion for myself as I make mistakes. I will invite others to use a safeword system to call me out when I might create hurt or harm.

Brave enough, present enough - I will be constantly and consistently aware of what I need to be brave enough to navigate this space and my body. I acknowledge that what I need in order to be brave enough to be present enough changes all the time. I must hone and refine my ability to discern what I need with myself and my partners. And I invite others to check in with me if I have drifted.
