Event Etiquette
Please enter the space in silence. Before speaking, ask yourself: “Is what I’m discussing deepening my dance or distracting from it?”
Our intention is to create a safe, consensual, open, fun, and playful space grounded in deep listening and awareness. We invite you to bring generosity and respect into your interactions. Consider: What am I bringing to this space? How can I support myself and others? Am I being trauma-informed in my interactions?
Safety Policy
Zero tolerance for: predatory behavior, non-consensual touch, sexual advances, or any ambiguous intimate physical touch. This is not a space to pursue romantic or sensual exploration.
If anything inappropriate is witnessed or experienced, please speak with Michael or another facilitator. Your concerns will be handled confidentially and with compassion.
