Community Agreements
Shared commitments for presence, consent, and care when visiting Whose Land. All guests agree to these community agreements before events or stays.
1. I agree to breathe, to feel, to be present, and to be authentic in my body, emotions, and truth.
I commit to showing up as I am-without pretending, performing, or numbing. I will meet the moment with presence and listen to the wisdom of my body and feelings, even when discomfort arises.
2. I agree to arrive on time for all sessions and gatherings.
I understand that entering late or leaving frequently can impact the group container. If I need to step away for personal regulation, I will do so with awareness and intention.
3. I agree to ask clearly and directly when I desire support, guidance, or connection.
Rather than expecting others to intuit my needs, I will practice making explicit, respectful requests and remain open to hearing yes or no.
4. I agree to be open, receptive, and coachable-willing to hear reflections, boundaries, and feedback from facilitators and fellow participants.
This space is a mirror for growth. I honor the wisdom of feedback when offered with care, and I commit to staying curious rather than defensive.
5. I agree to take full responsibility for my experience, my emotions, and my boundaries.
No one else is responsible for managing my emotional state. I will communicate my needs, tend to my activations, and advocate for myself with kindness and clarity.
6. I agree to uphold a non-violent space-emotionally, physically, and energetically-toward myself, others, and the container as a whole.
This includes refraining from shaming, blaming, manipulation, or coercion, as well as treating physical spaces and others' bodies with care.
7. I agree to refrain from the use of drugs and alcohol while on the land.
I understand that this is a space of altered states through breath, embodiment, and connection-not through substances. Clarity and consent require sobriety.
8. I agree to speak directly and respectfully with anyone I have an issue with, and not to gossip.
If tension arises, I will address it with the person involved or seek support from a facilitator. I will not process interpersonal conflicts with uninvolved parties.
9. I agree to ask for consent before offering feedback, and to offer it only at a time that feels mutually respectful and appropriate.
Feedback is most supportive when it's wanted. I will not assume others want advice or reflection and will wait for a clear invitation before sharing.
10. I agree to practice enthusiastic, informed, and ongoing consent in all interactions.
Consent is not a one-time checkbox-it is a living, evolving conversation. I will listen deeply, respect boundaries, and ensure that all touch and intimacy arise from clear, mutual, and enthusiastic agreement.
11. I agree to honor confidentiality.
What is shared here stays here. I will not discuss others' stories, identities, or experiences outside this space. This includes not sharing photos or recordings without explicit consent.
Photography & Media
Photos and video may be taken during events and gatherings at Whose Land. These images help us share the spirit of this community with others and may appear on our website, social media, or other promotional materials.
We are committed to honoring your boundaries around being seen and captured. During personal, intimate, or vulnerable moments - such as ceremony, breathwork, sharing circles, or emotional processing - photography will not take place unless notified in advance. The sacredness of those containers is always respected.
If you prefer not to be photographed at all, simply let a facilitator know at the start of your visit. If you later see an image of yourself that you'd like removed, reach out to us and we will take it down - no questions asked.
Your comfort and consent come first, always.
