Facilitating Transformative Connection

Wild Life Refuge Core Principles

By becoming a member of the Wild Life Refuge community, I affirm my commitment to:

1. Care for Self, Others, and Land

I will arrive with presence and care — for myself, for other participants, and for this land and home. I understand that this is a working sanctuary in development, and I will move through the space with awareness and respect.

2. Consent and Relational Integrity

I will honor boundaries — my own and others'. I understand that all interactions here are grounded in consent, respect, and the intention to build authentic connection. I will communicate clearly and listen with openness.

3. Stewardship and Responsibility

I recognize that I am a guest in a private home and on living land. I will treat all spaces, structures, and natural areas with care. I will follow guidance from hosts and facilitators, and I will help maintain the beauty and safety of this place.

4. Presence and Participation

I will show up fully — to the experience, to the community, and to the creative or contemplative practice being offered. I understand that gatherings here are participatory and relational, not transactional.

5. Accessibility and Inclusion

I understand that infrastructure is evolving and that accessibility varies by event and location on the property. I will communicate my needs clearly and work collaboratively with hosts to ensure my participation is safe and meaningful. I will extend patience and care as we all navigate this developing space together.

6. Confidentiality and Privacy

I will respect the privacy of other participants and the intimate nature of what is shared in this space. What is said and experienced here stays here, unless explicitly shared by individuals about their own experience.
