Code of Conduct

It is important that we, as a community, show inclusivity, respect, and acceptance to all of our members. Please find below the code of conduct we expect all of our members to adhere to.

• Anything said here stays here.

  • In an effort to protect the sanctity of our space and honor the courage and vulnerability that we facilitate, we keep all information disclosed at any of our events confidential. Even if you see friends or acquaintances outside of our events, we encourage you to let all members own their stories, and discuss their emotional wounds or triumphs on their terms.

• Consent is key.

  • This includes consent to touch, to hug, to watch (voyeurism is participation!) or to bring up heavy topics. A trigger warning for a share that might be difficult for others to hear is necessary. If you are unsure if consent is necessary - it always is! Air on the side of caution, and ask.​

• We listen, and we don't judge.

  • We are respectful to each other. Don't interrupt someone else's share, and ask before giving advice. And remember, just because someone practices ENM differently than you do, doesn't mean it's wrong! Always practice empathetic listening, and express disagreements in a way that allows for other perspectives to exist.​

• Respect those that aren't in the room.

  • We don't talk poorly about our partners! This includes over-generalizing their character, name calling, or bashing their person. We may, of course, express our feelings of frustration or disappointment, but we should strive to do so from a place of compassion and responsibility for our own part in the situation in question.​

• Never assume.

  • Don't assume pronouns, sexual orientation, or gender identity. Always ask! We'll never get upset at you for asking for clarification, and will probably appreciate the consideration.​

• Ask for what you want.

  • The only way we can know what our community needs from us is if you tell us! All of our community members should feel empowered to approach the organizers of any event with concerns, questions, or suggestions. This is our community - let's build it together.​
