Activities & Shift

Rules
Rules are straightforward involving respect for each other and respect for the land. As we live in community we learn to be mindful with our language and way of being. Sometimes people do get triggered and we will support you to overcome challenges. Once you are here, we will share more specific guidelines. However, when a person repeats unacceptable behaviour twice, they may be asked to leave
