Conduct and safety

How everyone behaves at a gathering, how to look after yourself, what to do if something goes wrong, and where to turn in an emergency. Written for members — the hosting terms are a separate page.

In an emergency

If someone is in danger right now, call your local emergency number first. We are not an emergency service, and nobody here is on call overnight.

What to do, and what we can do →

What everyone agrees to

Members and facilitators accept the same code when they join. Breaking it removes a person from the platform.

  1. Consent is continuous. No hands-on adjustment without asking first, every time. Anyone may leave any practice at any moment.
  2. No medical claims. No promises to cure, no advice to stop treatment, no diagnosis.
  3. Say what will happen. Listings describe the practice honestly, including anything intense.
  4. Hold confidence. What is shared in a circle stays in the circle — facilitators and attendees equally.
  5. No recruitment. A gathering is not a route into another organisation, a lineage requiring commitment, or a sales funnel.
  6. Power is not romance. Facilitators do not pursue seekers.

Looking after yourself

If something goes wrong

Any gathering or person can be reported in two taps, from the listing or from your record of it. A named person on the safety team reads every report the day it arrives, working from a queue that records every decision and cannot be edited afterwards.

If you paid, your refund is started immediately — before any conclusion is reached and regardless of the facilitator’s own policy. You are never asked to speak to the person you reported. You may ask us not to share your name, and we will investigate without it, though that sometimes limits what we can establish.

You hear the outcome in writing within 24 hours and again when the case closes. Depending on what we find we may add a condition to a listing, require a change, suspend a facilitator while we look further, or remove them permanently. Where a report describes something criminal we will say so plainly and support you in taking it to the police; we are not a substitute for them.
