- Sobriety: The campus is a place of sobriety and careful guidance within the realm of subtle states. No active substances including weed or alcohol should be used on the day of ceremony. State-changing activities (like yogic/breathing exercises etc.) should not be used without having the advice of the guide/master.
- Calmness and focus: Whenever possible, we try to stay directed towards our inner state. Use of electronic devices within the campus should be avoided. Voice should be used as if it was a precious resource, only for matters of utmost importance.
- Intimacy and trust: Subtleness of the experience is based on trusting safety in the most intimate matters. No lewd behaviour is allowed at the campus, at any time. Please refrain from touching others. We reserve the right to ask any participant to leave the ceremony or campus if this is not followed.
