Costume
You're invited to dress in your favourite outfits that represent the theme Ancient Future. Costume guidance, mood and inspiration board coming soon. Watch this space.

Safe(r) Space & Collaborative Environment
By attending this experience you agree to respect and follow our Safe(r) Space Agreement (found below). These agreements indicate the behaviour that is acceptable and must be followed. They are put in place to ensure that everyone feels safe and welcome at our experiences.

By attending this experience you are doing so because you want to expand your innerstanding of yourself, challenge your prejudice and connect with other like minded people.

Please take full responsibility for your own experience, remain open minded and creatively curious, reach beyond the edges of your comfort zone, and always ask for consent.

Our agreements create a safe(r) space to be expressive and intimate, and at the same time, ensure that everyone remains respectful of each other. Thus creating a more collaborative, trusting and respectful environment and community.

Safe(r) Space Agreement
You are responsible for yourself, your wellbeing and your belongings
You are responsible for your own experience and interactions with others
You agree to be mindful, respectful and aware of yourself and others
You agree to respect other people's boundaries and ensure you give as much space as other people require
You agree to be consensual - unless it's a 100% YES, everything else must be considered a NO
People can change their mind, therefore remember that a YES can always turn into a NO and this must be respected every time
You agree that you are able to say YES and NO in an appropriate, clear and respectful way
You agree to use clear direct verbal communication where you feel confident in expressing your boundaries, expectations and desires
You agree to maintain confidentiality and not disclose anyone's stories or experiences
If you feel unsafe or uncomfortable for any reason, please speak to a Welfare Angel, the Event Manager or any Team Member immediately

Inclusivity
All people are welcome at this experience. We welcome people of all sexual orientations, racial identities/ethnicities, gender expressions, abilities, body types and ages.

We are a community that is queer friendly, body positive and we welcome different forms of expression. We have zero tolerance towards racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, body shaming, ageism, ableism or discrimination of any kind whatsoever. Do not make derogatory comments or jokes on others.

Accessibility
The venue has wheelchair access throughout.

Please email us if you have any specific needs for attending this experience and we will do our best to accommodate you.

We welcome people with hidden disabilities. The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower ID badge is recognised at this experience and our team of Welfare Angels are here to support if you need assistance with anything.

The Welfare Angels will be roaming the venue during the whole experience from start to finish. The Welfare Angels wear a pink high-vis body band so you can distinguish who they are.

The Welfare Angels, Stewards and Security Guards are available if you need help with anything. They will be wearing visible ID badges, high-vis jackets or pink high-vis body bands.

Consent
If there is someone that makes you feel uncomfortable, for ANY reason, then you should let them know. You do not owe somebody attention nor do you owe them your time or energy.

If you are not interested or do not have the capacity to engage with another or others, you are completely within your right to say so. This includes another person who touches without asking, comes on too strongly, says an offensive comment or simply does not making you feel welcome or comfortable.

Unless it's an absolutely enthusiastic YES, everything else must be considered as a NO. People can change their mind, therefore remember that a YES can always change to a NO and that must be respected every time.

Whilst an interaction between others may happen in front of you, it does not mean you are entitled to join.

Do not coerce or pressure others to interact with you. If you have received a NO, don’t take it personally. We invite you to thank the other person for clearly expressing their boundaries, by saying something along the lines of, “Thank you for taking care of yourself.”

Experience Team
We have an incredible team on hand - Welfare Angels, Stewards, Security and an Experience Manager. They'll be wearing either ID badges, high-vis jackets or pink high-vis body bands. They are available during the whole experience if you have any concerns, need support with anything or if you want to chat. We are here to listen and support.

The Welfare Angels will be roaming the event from start to finish. The Welfare Angels wear a pink high-vis body band so you can distinguish who they are.

Zero Tolerance Policy & Safeguarding
We operate a Zero Tolerance Policy at our experiences and any person found to be breaching our Safe(r) Space Agreement will be asked to leave (with no refund).

If you see any inappropriate behaviour, anyone being uncomfortable, anyone looking for help or if someone reports an issue to you, please inform a Welfare Angel, Security Guard, Steward or the Experience Manager immediately.

Authorised Filming & Photography
Designated Photographers / Videographers (who are announced at the Opening Circle) will take videos and photos during the experience. We use videos and photos to promote our experiences on social media. If you don't want to be included in a video or photo, please let the Photographer / Videographer or a Team Member know. If you see any footage of yourself on social media and want it removed, please message us directly (on social media or via email) and we’ll do so immediately.

Thank you for your cooperation.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Equinox Portal.
