Community Guidelines
At Raise Your Energy, we believe that a vibrant and inclusive community is built through active participation, care for one another, and respect for our shared environment. These guidelines reflect our commitment to creating a space where creativity, connection, and mutual support thrive. We ask that all festival-goers embrace these values, ensuring a positive experience for everyone involved.
1. Personal Responsibility & Care
Each of us plays a part in maintaining a safe and welcoming environment. Be mindful of your actions and how they impact those around you. Take care of your physical, mental, and emotional well-being by staying hydrated, resting, and respecting your limits. Remember, only you can control your behavior, so make choices that contribute to the collective good.
2. Look Out for One Another
This festival is a shared experience, and we are stronger together. If you see someone who appears lost, unwell, or in need of support, offer help or seek assistance from festival staff. Your vigilance can make all the difference in ensuring everyone feels safe and supported.
3. Enthusiastic Consent & Boundaries
Consent is key in all interactions. Ensure that every exchange, whether verbal or physical, is entered into with clear and enthusiastic agreement. Respect both verbal and non-verbal boundaries at all times. Non-verbal cues, like creating physical distance or avoiding eye contact, should be honored with the same respect as verbal communication. Always ask, never assume.
4. Celebrate Inclusivity
Raise Your Energy is a place for all, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, culture, or ability. Discrimination or bigotry in any form will not be tolerated. We are a diverse and united community, and it is our collective responsibility to ensure that every person feels welcome and valued.
5. Freedom of Expression
Creativity is at the heart of our festival. We encourage everyone to express themselves authentically, while also respecting the expressions of others. Let's create an atmosphere where all forms of art, music, and performance are celebrated, and where kindness is at the core of how we interact.
6. Leave No Trace
Our festival is as much about our natural surroundings as it is about music and art. We ask that you leave the land as beautiful as you found it – or better. Dispose of waste properly, recycle where possible, and be mindful of the footprint you leave behind. By working together, we can ensure that Raise Your Energy remains a sustainable and eco-conscious event.
7. Participation is Key
Raise Your Energy thrives on the creativity and involvement of its attendees. Whether through art, music, or simply being present, your participation makes this festival what it is. Engage fully, appreciate the contributions of others, and remember that every action, big or small, helps shape the experience for all.
By following these guidelines, we can create a festival that is safe, inclusive, and filled with the energy we collectively bring. Let's come together, embrace the moment, and make memories that will last beyond the festival. Only together can we truly Raise Your Energy.
